Gumiho for me!

This is all I've been about these days XD what i know already, i have to say huli jing are my favorite mostly because they're not usually seen as evil blood suckers or malicious tricksters and have very decent (and cute) stories, at least those i've read. Also, i've been very intrigued with the idea that they are seen as an in between demons and humans and the idea that all living beings strive to be humans if not immortal. Idk if you've mentioned this in your past videos too but it is also believed Tame no mae was the same fox spirit, consort Daji, that brought the Shang Dynasty to ruin by seducing the emperor Zhou of Shang

@@cakertaker_1013 yeah the Daji -> Tamamo no Mae lore does exist. It also says she became other figures in other stories. I don't think the original stories had that intent though.

@@ghostwas_here Neh, Britain is more like the distant cousin that literally NO ONE asked for

Wouldn't Britain be the bullying big brother that eventually when the younger siblings grew up finally kicked his ass? (USA perspective)

that was the thing with what was mentioned before about japan already having their own fox beliefs before being influenced by china (especially since their beginning religions was animism and shinto), i remember reading that it was related to how foxes would eat the vermins and rodents detrimizing their fields so ofc they would begin to worship them in someway like you said. Now that i think about it, i'm pretty sure the negative/mischievous connotations related to kitsune now mostly came from china correct me if i'm wrong

Makes sense

Snakes also had that divine messenger role in the ancient Hellenic world, probably due to similar reasons.

The myths all around the world that portray foxes as cunning comes from the ancient Egyptian god "set", which was the god of cunning, trickery, chaos, disorder and envy. He was portrayed as a jackal and a fox in Egyptian arts. Egypt simply exported its religious beliefs to other parts of the world.

@@ilovecoffee7623 well at least all we can say is that art of him portray him as an ambiguous looking creature that lookis like a cross between an aardvark and a jackal

For the Zenko point you mentioned, the Senko San anime is an example of a good fox who helps people. Thus, the name is also a play on the trope. As for Yako, the bad fox, the character from the show Toilet Bound Hanako Kun, fits the bill for a bad fox who tricks people. While it's just a reference, it does add up to the mythical points about the kitsune.

Yako sounds like yakko and there's a samurai named yakko edobei whiches is acted by otani oniji who was painted by sharaku which animal Crossing called the painting scary painting and I'm scared of the painting

Meh. I prefer the Nasuverse background for Tamamo, where she's an incarnation of Amaterasu, who got falsely blamed and killed because "fox spirit...she must be responsible!"

Zenko Ranks from highest -> Lowest: Kuuko, Tenko, Senko. Different colors of Zenko: Kinko, Ginko, byakko/shirogitsune aka Myobu, Kokuko/kurogitsune. There are apparently 2 earthly fox ranks that both Zenko and Yako can attain which are Chiko and Ashireiko. Ashireiko are apparently young foxes in the first 100 years of their life and look like ordinary non-magical foxes. After 100 years they rank up to Chiko, which are clearly magical. Yako are unable to pass the Chiko stage due to their wickedness, while Zenko are able to surpass it and become Senko at around 500 years. Senko becomes a Tenko at 1000 years, Tenko becomes a Kuuko at 3000 years.

@@clarehidalgo Actually, Tenko are higher in rank than Kuuko because Kuuko are retired and Tenko still serve Inari.

Interesting 🤔

Another short fun one i read when i was 10 or something i think There once was a hard working handsome farmer, and he was going to get married to his beautiful future bride He went to the mountains/forest to get some wood, and on the way he returned he met a beautiful women asking him to stay for the night as it was dark and dangerous He gladly accepted, no they did not have seggs this is a children's book calm down He woke up in the middle of the night to find her sharpening a kitchen knife with nine tails and sharp claws, when he got caught she ran at him, but he managed to shut the door tightly one of her taiks got stuck So he ran back home and lived a normal life And then his marriage day happened When he was about to meet his bride, instead of one, he saw two arguing who was the real one They asked him to choose, and as he was trying, he saw one of the bride's dress was a bit torn on the ends He stabbed that bride and revealed it was a fox, it ran away as the town tried to catch it and he happily got married with his real wife Again, this was years ago, so i do not remember the exact story but it was fun

Yo dude same hear

thank you.

I looked into it also. I believe Sionnach was also considered the Goddess of foxes specifically. They also seem to be associated with Brigid somewhat. Sionnach Sidhe are eerily similar. Energy pearl, shapeshifting abilities, vast knowledge, and clairvoyance are some of the qualities of the Sionnach. Information on them seems to be very hard to come by though. There are similar fox spirits in a variety of Native North American and South American folklores. Although extremely rare, there are people in the United States and Canada whom have claimed to see fox spirits in modern times. My cousin and I saw something while visiting Canada back in 2005, and I have only recently figured out what it might have been. I'm pretty positive it was a kiko.

my fav is a Hu li Jing and my fav animal is the Hu Li or I guess the kitsune

So that's where you get the Tama name Tamamo

It's nine-tailed fox, not Kitsune. Kitsune is what Japanese people call it. The fox spirit comes from China. It is called Huli jing. Nine-tailed fox is called Jiu wei hu in Chinese Japan copied many things from China. I don't know what hoshi no tama is. I only know fox spirit from China

@@Yangpeiling-de-zhangfu You know you had a problem with where it's not even the topic here.

@@Yangpeiling-de-zhangfu When I say Kitsune in this context I obviously mean the Japanese fox spirit. If I said Huli Jing I'd mean the Chinese one, and if I said Gumiho I'd mean the Korean one.

Reynard the fox

Can confirm. However, it's not the same story, as you make it sound like. In China, the story is called the Investiture of the Gods and it's about the consort Daji, who the stories say was a fox spirit sent by a goddess to seduce the last Shang dynasty emperor and distract him from court affairs because he acted lecherous towards her or something. Idk about the Japanese case. Also, just in general, if a woman distracts an emperor from his courtly duties, then she's called a huli jing (huli = fox, jing = spirit).

It is a copy pasta from china

Welcome! First rule of the channel is you must sacrifice a pokemon.

Thanks for the trivia Da Ji, interestingly enough when the Huli Jing gets their 9 tails they're called jiuweihu 九尾狐 which share the same characters as kyūbi 九尾.

I'm going to blame the Chinese influence. They had some interesting views on women.

A lot of ancient peoples were pretty discriminative against women. China wasn't much different in that respect. That said, the foremost example of the Huli Jing was pretty up there in terms of evil. Daji (as she is depicted in the Feng Shen Yan Yi/ Investiture of the Gods) was a pretty horrific individual. In the story, she is tasked by Nuwa, humanity's mother goddess, to end the Shang Dynasty after its last king had desecrated her residence. She was tasked with making the king's life a living hell, but in the end went way overboard and didn't succeed the latter part of her task until the very end. Daji ends up conceiving new ways of torturing people for her amusement, while murdering people at a whim. She quickly plunges the Shang into civil war, with even the divine taking part. By the end, thousands had died and suffered, ending with Nuwa punishing Daji for all the unnecessary suffering she caused.

@@ericwang565 Right. Didn't mean to imply China was unique in that regard. I just meant their lore about the huli jing being untrustworthy women was probably the origin and it spread to the other cultures.

@@ericwang565 Interesting story!!!! Are there anymore? Can you tell me a specific source for such stories? Like a book?

@@priyanshujanrao7710 Daji's particular story is from the Feng Shen Yan Yi novel, which is translated to Investiture of the Gods. There's quite a few stories in it, including Nezha's tale. Outside of that there's the other big two Chinese mythology novels in Journey to the West and Water Margin. That said, a lot of Chinese myths are fairly disparate and all over the place so you'll need to do some searching. To give you some places to look, try searching for Chinese creation myths, mythological origins of humanity and the tales of gods like the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperor's. They'll give you a fairly comprehensive view of Chinese myths and legends

Yes Amaterasu from Okami and/or Kamui/muy, the golden wolf? Amaterasu is the sun god(de)(ss) and Okami means host(ess), hair, wolf and god? Guess they are puns and strung together synchronistically?

@TheSapphicCollective The word for wolf is Ōkami, and its etymology is "great god." The other words you mentioned sound similar, but are not cognates (related).

Thank you =)
