Angel Has Chinese Ancestry
A Chinese vampire or Jiangshi will cast a reflection but is terrified by it.
One of the means of countering a Jiangshi is to use a mirror.
Mirrors: Li Shizhen‘s medical book Bencao Gangmu mentions, “A mirror is the essence of liquid metal. It is dark on the external but bright inside.” (鏡乃金水之精，內明外暗。) Jiangshi are also said to be terrified of their own reflections.
