@schabotte The context of that tweet is that I was mentioning Chinese Mandarin aptitude test results in a conversation about non-Standard Chinese accents among both foreign-born-or-raised ethnic Chinese and Chinese outside of the Beijing capital region plus the Northeast.

@sunriseoath What does A-2 mean?
Yeah, this book looks at all the creepies - but mostly on the more monstrous side than the elegant side. It also looks at the creatures from the aspect of vitality drain - so blood, breath, spirit, essence, etc. all fall into the concept of the Codex.

@schabotte When I think of vampires the "undead" part is very nominal and mostly I am thinking about beautiful women in long dresses with wine glasses and handsome men in tuxedos devilishly flashing their sharp fangs. Jiangshi are gross and rotting, xixuegue are sexy and dangerous.

@sunriseoath I went off wikipedia research. (I know - hardly a bastion of accuracy.) Here is the page:

@schabotte Note, "jiangshi" 僵尸 could maybe generally refer to the undead if we *really* squint (my wife disagrees even here), but among Chinese people it mostly means "zombie". The typical term for "vampire" is "xixuegui" 吸血鬼 ("blood-sucking monster").
