Fox spirits (狐狸精 hǔlijīng) in Chinese mythology are spirits of a fox type that are akin to European faeries, demons, or to the Japanese yōkai known as kitsune (Kumiho in Korean mythology).
One of the most infamous fox spirits in Chinese mythology was Daji (妲己), who is portrayed in the Ming novel Fengshen Yanyi a beautiful daughter of a general; she was married forcibly to the cruel tyrant Zhou Xin (紂辛 Zhòu Xīn).
Typically fox spirits were seen as dangerous, but some of the stories in Pu Songling's Liaozhai Zhiyi are love stories between a fox appearing as a beautiful girl and a young human male.

 A History of Fox Beliefs by Chris Azure   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Although the fox was not considered as effective in this regard as the hedgehog or the snake, we can certainly see the practices resemblances to the Japanese belief in the fox as the spirit of rice, and its later associations with Inari, the god of rice and prosperity.
The difference was, in the case of the kitsune-mochi, the fox and its powers was possessed by the entire family and, furthermore, it was believed to be both contagious and hereditary in the female line.
Conversely, the fox in Japan, while of a more ambiguous nature in the folklore, is treated as a demonic being in folk practices, while at the same time enjoying an elevated status as the envoy of Inari, and indeed, in many cases, as Inari itself.
