Zombies are called "Zongzi" because the bodies are all wrapped like Zongzi. The word Zongzi was first spoken in Muye Zhang's Ghost Blowing Lights, which is a term among grave robbing industries.

Zongzi is a code word circulating among grave robbers. Even bandits in Xiangshan can't directly say that they killed and set fires, and they all have a set of slang cuts.

The basic image of zombies is usually that of officers and soldiers or officials in Qing Dynasty, with stiff whole body, black and sharp nails, blue face and fangs, ferocious and horrible, and pale skin. Can't speak human words, can only roar, and hide in damp and dark places such as coffins and caves during the day.

It is maoshan taoist who sucks the yang of the living, but is afraid of sunshine, glutinous rice and flames. He often uses Maoshan magic to cast spells to subdue zombies, and the ways to deal with zombies are: opening spells, copper swords, Taiji Bagua mirrors and so on.

The pioneering work of zombie movies is Mr. Zombie, a well-known Hong Kong actor Ching-Ying Lam, which is a well-known classic movie. Ching-Ying Lam's own interpretation of the zombie series of film and television dramas has greatly enhanced the publicity and impression of the vast number of folk audiences on the legend of zombies, and many of the classic ideas have influenced future generations' understanding of the zombie as a magical monster.
