The Phantom of the Blue Shirt Under the Moonlight - The Cultural Code of Chinese Zombies

As night fell, a group of green faced and fanged figures jumped forward in the wilderness, and the yellow talismans on their foreheads trembled lightly in the wind. Unlike the putrid and violent zombies in the West, Chinese zombies, dressed in Qing Dynasty official uniforms and with stiff limbs, carry a unique Eastern philosophical code and reflect the subtle light of traditional culture under the moonlight.

The origin of Chinese zombies can be traced back to Ming and Qing dynasty supernatural literature. The record of "white bones and skeletons knocking on the door at night" in Yuan Mei's "Zi Bu Yu" is in line with the Taoist concept of "three souls and seven spirits" of life and death. The ancients believed that corpses would become "stiff" due to resentment or changes in feng shui, but in fact, it concretized moral ethics - those who were wronged during their lifetime must seek justice, and those who greedily stole tombs must be punished by heaven. This narrative mode of "cause and effect cycle" has evolved into visual symbols of Taoists holding peach wood swords and glutinous rice suppressing evil in classic Hong Kong films such as "Mr. Zombie", constructing a fantasy universe that integrates Confucian filial piety and Taoist magic.

Zombie culture reflects the wisdom of life and death of Chinese people more deeply. In the legend of catching corpses in Xiangxi, the ritual of a monk ringing a bell to lure the soul back home implies the ethical demand of "falling leaves returning to their roots"; The setting of zombies dispersing in fear of the crowing of chickens in "Notes on Reading the Micro Grass Hall" originates from the philosophical understanding of "yin-yang alternation". Even the zombie's stiff and jumping movements echo the traditional Chinese medicine theory in the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon that 'if the meridians are blocked, the body becomes stiff'. The wisdom of sublimating fear emotions into cultural metaphors makes horror stories a carrier for conveying traditional values.

In contemporary film and television works, zombie images are undergoing cultural deconstruction and reconstruction. New wave films such as "Zombies" reshape old legends with cyberpunk aesthetics, while "Rolling Shutter Talk" uses a cute art style to make zombies dance square. This transformation is like a prism, reflecting both the innovative interpretation of traditional culture by the younger generation and witnessing the resilient inheritance of ancient Eastern wisdom under the impact of modernity.

The moonlight still falls on the bluestone road, and the figures in the jumping official uniforms have already surpassed the realm of horror movie symbols. They are fantastic footnotes written by Chinese people for the proposition of life and death. They are cultural gene chains linked by yellow symbols and copper coins. In every screen flash, they complete the secret dialogue between tradition and modern times
