Chinese Monster Encyclopedia

I received a book that I fell in love with at first sight.
"Illustrated Guide to Chinese Monsters and Demons" (Author: Hiroshi Aida)  
There is also a chapter on magic.
The spiritualism that was practiced in China
It is written there.
In the chapter on spirit monsters, there are lots of monsters.
Ah! Is this the Japanese monster?
Places that make you think, "Maybe this is my roots?"
Some of them were brought to Japan as they were.
  
Or
Also, there's the malaria monster, which is interesting (laughs).
It has a history of 4000 years.
Oh! That's right, for you all
I think the most famous one is Jiangshi.
It was listed properly.
But it was different from what I had imagined.
Half-naked or in underwear with messy hair
What was on TV
He is wearing an official uniform, but was a bureaucrat in his lifetime.
When buried, they are dressed in official uniforms and hats.
I guess it's because of the culture.
The commoner's Jiangshi are half-naked or in their underwear.
That's right.
