The Chinese Fox Spirit




As I explained in my previous post about Immortality in China, it is believed that all things are capable of acquiring human forms, magical powers, and immortality, provided that they receive sufficient super power.


The most famous example is the Fox Spirit. A fox with superpower traditionally changes its body to a woman of an extreme beauty. The woman/fox will then seduce men and take their power in order to get more superpower to achieve the ultimate immortality.





If you see a woman with 9 tails, she is probably a fix spirit.




This story is so common in Chinese culture, that if you describe a girl as "Fox Spirit ("狐狸精"), that would mean:"Very beautiful girl but she will take your energy.." or "a gold digger woman"
