The shi (Chinese: 尸; pinyin: shī; Wade–Giles: sh'ih; lit. 'corpse') was a ceremonial "personator" who represented a dead relative during ancient Chinese ancestral sacrifices. In a shi ceremony, the ancestral spirit supposedly would enter the descendant "corpse" personator, who would eat and drink sacrificial offerings and convey messages from the spirit. James Legge, an early translator of the Chinese classics, described shi personation ceremonies as "grand family reunions where the dead and the living met, eating and drinking together, where the living worshipped the dead, and the dead blessed the living." In modern terms, this ancient Chinese shi practice would be described as necromancy, mediumship, or spirit possession.

  • El shi (en chino, 尸; pinyin, 'shī'; Wade-Giles, 'sh'ih'; literalmente, ‘cuerpo’) era un "personificador" ceremonial que representaba a un pariente fallecido durante sacrificios ancestrales antiguos. En una ceremonia shi, el espíritu ancestral supuestamente entra en el "cuerpo" del personificador de la persona fallecida, quien come y bebe las ofrendas del sacrificio y transmite mensajes del espíritu. James Legge (1895 IV:135), un antiguo traductor de los clásicos chinos, describió las ceremonias de personificación shi como "grandes reuniones familiares en las que los muertos y los vivos se reúnen, comen y beben juntos, donde los vivos rinden culto a los muertos, y los muertos bendicen a los vivos."​ En términos modernos, esta práctica china antigua de shi cae dentro de la categoría de necromancia, médium, o posesión espiritual.
