Description

The Weird and the Terrifying. - Name: Jiangshi (Stiff corpse) Location: China The Jiangshi, also known as Chiang Si, Kang Shi and Geungsi, is a type of reanimated corpse from Chinese legends and folklore. It is often depicted as a stiff corpse dressed in Mandarin uniform that moves around by hopping with its arms outstretched. It can be portrayed as either a fresh corpse or a horrendous rotten corpse surrounded by flies. It is said that the Jiangshi is created either by a necromancer or if the soul of the deceased fails to leave the body due to improper death, suicide, or just wanting to cause trouble. Once reanimated, the Jiangshi will hide during the day in coffins or caves, and will emerge at night to kill living creatures in order to absorve qi, or "life force". The Jiangshi can be stopped by the use of mirrors, wood from a peach tree, a rooster's call or with a paper talisman attached to it's forehead, which will leave the craeture paralyzed until removed. - All pieces in "The Weird and the Terrifying" collection are highly textured 3000x3000 png files created using only four colors (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black), with tonal variations and other colors coming from halftones and color overlay in order to maintain the stipulated color limtiations.
