  • Taiwanese singer Jay Chou featured jiang shis in one of his music videos, Bencao Gangmu (本草綱目).
  • The Taiwanese black metal band Chthonic features many lyrics about Chinese and native Taiwanese Seediq Bale mythology and folklore. For their Mirror of Retribution era, the vocalist, Freddy Lim, wore corpsepaint that resembled the face of a jiang shi, and the keyboardist, CJ Kao wore a cloth around his head that was covered with grass script calligraphy, which resembled the spell-paper put upon a jiang shi's face to reanimate it.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:

    “Much of the ill-tempered railing against women that has characterized the popular writing of the last two years is a half-hearted attempt to find a way back to a more balanced relationship between our biological selves and the world we have built. So women are scolded both for being mothers and for not being mothers, for wanting to eat their cake and have it too, and for not wanting to eat their cake and have it too.”
    —Margaret Mead (1901–1978)

    “The treatment of African and African American culture in our education was no different from their treatment in Tarzan movies.”
    —Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
