 * China was not the only place to perform these atypical burials and Revenant practices. Archeologists have found revenants and what appear to be deviant burials all the way back to 4500-3800 BC in Cyprus. If you were unlucky enough to be born as an illegitimate child, with an abnormality, or on an auspicious day, or a victim of murder, drowning, suicide, or the plague/curse it was thought that you had the potential to be a Vampire. Like the Jiangshi in China these cultures had ways of deterring the revenants from coming back. A person "known" to be a vampire would be incinerated or dismembered to keep them from coming back. Others that were thought to be one were trapped by being buried deep, on their stomachs, tied, staked, or pinned with rocks. These types of burials have been discovered in numerous places including Egyptian, Greek, and Roman cultures. Slavic folklore talks about vampires and preventions dating back to the 11th century with Drawsko, Poland being home to some of these burial sites and early discoveries of such practices. They found that while burying vampires they focused on three parts of the body being the mouth, hand, and feet. These were the main focal points because the mouth is where they would feed on humans, the hands are how they seized their victims, and the feet are how they moved. Folklore and burial practices dealing with the "undead" can also be traced back to Norse mythology with draugr or draug(s) that closely resemble stories of Jiangshi's.  They are similar in the sense of also being re-animated corpses that rise from their graves, and many of the various accounts report the "spirit" to be sighted far from where they were initially buried.
