Chinese spirit possession

Chinese spirit possession is a practice performed by specialists across China and Taiwan, and encompasses a broad category of shamanism called jitong (a type of shaman) in Taiwan, or shentong in Wenzhou, involving the channeling of Chinese deities who are invited to take control of the specialist's body, resulting in noticeable changes in body functions and behaviour. The most famous Chinese spirit possession practitioners took part in the Boxer Rebellion in the 1900s, when boxers claimed to be invulnerable to the cut of a sharp knife, bullets, and cannon fire.
