      @@mr.midnight1349 it was painful for me to watch because of the mispronunciation and the MAJOR lack of some information.
      I got a bit offended when they showed Japanese ghosts/deities instead of the Chinese ones. Like Kitsunes instead of Hulijin or grudges instead of Nugui. So as someone who grew up knowing them very well, this video was ehhhhhh... bad.

    Shui means the water in Chinese word.
    And Gui means the ghost or spirit.
    So Shui Gui means the water ghost.
    In Korea, the Shui Gui called the 물귀신(Water Ghost).
    Also, Korea has their own version of Huli Jing. It’s called the Kumiho(구미호).

  • @derrickhaggard
    @derrickhaggard 5 лет назад +11

    The most infamous Chinese horror story in my opinion is the Jiang Shi also know as a hopping corpse think of it as a cross between a zombie and a vampire. Though the Jiang Shi has been mostly portrayed as villainous monster with the most well known villainous portrayal in recent years being that one non-canon epilogue DLC storyline in Sleeping Dogs where Wei pretty much has to save the world and his American girlfriend Amanda from the Jiang Shi ironically the most famed Jiang Shi in pop culture Hiesen Ko from the Darkstalkers franchise is on the side of good and in a even more hilarious sense of ironic humor in both Namco X Capcom and Project X Zone her pair unit partner was a protagonist known for killing zombies her partner in Namco X Capcom was Mei Ling the lead female protagonist of Resident Evil: Dead Aim, and in Project X Zone her partner was Frank West from the Dead Rising series and in both cases she mentions in a victory quote that she's technically dead and yet her partners are fine with.

    If they are going for the Mandarin Chinese pronunciation, their pronunciation is rather cringe-worthy...also, for no. 2, it should be "mo gui", not "mogwai (Cantonese)", according to the Hanyu Pinyin system for standard Mandarin Chinese. If this video's gonna use Mandarin Chinese for the list, it should standardize all the spellings following that instead of Cantonese. Pls be consistent!

    Hahaha.... its just basically listing down many types of 'gui' (ghost) and 'di yu' is really just hell for english speakers, 'ox-head horse-face' is basically Anubis, if you familiar with Egyptian myth, 'mogwai' is translation for demon and 'jiang shi' is really just zombie but in Chinese way...
    If you don't know yet, 'yan luo wang' or King Yama, for Japanese or English speakers, is really an equivalent to Hades.
    Probably can add the 'soup of meng po', where if one drink it in Hell, all memories will be wiped out, and will never again regain memories of previous life.
