====Living dead==== [[Jiangshi]] are a type of re-animated corpse. =====Zhong Kui===== {{Main|Zhong Kui}} In the mythological folklore, [[Zhong Kui]] is regarded as a vanquisher of ghosts and evil beings. He committed suicide upon being unfairly stripped of his title of "''[[Zhuangyuan]]''" (top-scorer) of the [[Imperial examinations in Chinese mythology|Imperial Examinations]] by the emperor, due to his disfigured and ugly appearance. His spirit was condemned to [[Diyu|Hell]] because suicide was considered a grave sin, but [[Yama (Buddhism and Chinese mythology)|Yama]] (the Chinese Hell King) judged him worthy of the title "King of Ghosts" in Diyu (Hell). Yama tasked him to hunt, capture, take charge of, and maintain discipline and order of all ghosts. On [[Chinese New Year]]'s eve, Zhong Kui returned to his hometown to repay the kindness of his friend Du Ping ({{lang|zh|ζεΉ³}}).
