Did you know?
- In Chinese culture, the concept of 分身 shares a root with the folklore of 'bilocation', where deities or spiritual masters could manifest multiple bodies to teach different students simultaneously.
- The character 影 (yǐng) means 'shadow' but is also the root for the modern Chinese word for 'movie' or 'cinema', 电影 (diànyǐng), which literally translates to 'electric shadow'.
- The particle 之 used in 之术 is a remnant of Classical Chinese and is almost never used in spoken modern Mandarin except for formal titles.
