Tongji ({{zh|c=童乩|p=tóngjī|w=t'ung-chi|l=youth diviner}}; Tâi-lô: tâng-ki) or Jitong ({{zh|c=乩童|p=jītóng|w=chi-t'ung|l=divining youth}}) is a Chinese folk religious specialist, usually translated as a "spirit medium", "oracle", or "shaman". This word compounds tong 童 "child; youth; boy servant" and ji 乩 "to divine" (cf. fuji 扶乩 "divination; planchette writing"). Regional variants include Hokkien tâng-ki 童乩 and Cantonese gei-tung 乩童 or san-daa 神打. A tongji or jitong is a person believed to have been chosen by a particular shen 神 "god; spirit" as the earthly vehicle for divine expression. The Chinese differentiate a wu 巫 "shaman; healer; spirit medium" who gains control of forces in the spirit world versus a tongji who appears to be entirely under the control of forces in the spirit world. Frequently a person who will become a tongji to experiences a feeling of compulsion of something that will possess them. The person may attempt to resist that compulsion, but should their resistance fail, they will enter into a trance in which they may beat themselves with a nail-studded ball at the end of a cord and handle to the point that he draws blood from multiple wounds on his back. While in this trance state the tongji is believed to be possessed by a shen. External links and references{{Commons category|Tongji}}
