Chinese Vampires - Chinese Philosophy, Religion and Mythology - China History Forum, Chinese History Forum: "he Chinese Vampire or Chiang-Shih has many aspects that are greatly different from western vampires.
There is a Chinese belief that there are two souls inhabiting every body. The superior or rational soul, and the inferior or irrational soul sometimes called p'ai or p'o.
The inferior soul is the one that inhabits the body in its fetal stage; and at death, sometimes does not wish to leave the body. "

Architecture of Cambodia - Citizendia: "The period of Angkor is the period from approximately the latter half of the 8th century A. D. to the first half of the 15th century. If precise dates are required, the beginning may be set in 802 A. D. , when the Khmer King Jayavarman II pronounced himself universal monarch (chakravartin) and declared independence from Java, and the end may be set in 1431 A. D. , when Thai invaders from the kingdom of Ayutthaya sacked Angkor and caused the Khmer elite to migrate to Phnom Penh."
