Tell me /tg/, how do you properly do Chinese fantasy?

Face. Face everywhere.

And drinking special medicines to power up.

China has more than kung fu fightan. Their view of the afterlife for example is fascinating. Filial children will burn "Hell money" which they believe their dead ancestors (who all go to Hell) can use to spend while in Hell. They also burn Mercedes car effigies etc for the same purpose. Then there's "Ghost marriages" where parents of dead unmarried son will pair him with another single dead girl so that they're happy in the afterlife. There's also the Hungry Ghost festival and so on.

By looking into Chinese mythology and culture.

I would say something more specific but I'm a lazy ass that doesn't know much about the subject.

Call me a racist but I prefer to stay away non-western inspired fantasy that I don't understand and stick to Western inspired fantasy which I can understand.

Wu Xia. Everyone has a bone to pick with someone else. Usually over a misunderstanding. They'll get over it after a good fight.

Read (or watch adaptions of) anything by Jin Yong.

Everything is the Monkey King's fault. Always. Every Deity in Heaven agrees he's an ass.

People keep a lot of pretenses to earn respect, but "these aren't just pretenses" isn't one of them.
Beyond that, everyone is greedy to a fault and blindly acts on vengeance.

The fast tracks to power (physical, social, or magical) involve crushing those who rely on you (or the innocent) under heel.

Somehow this sounds like a nice premise for [whatever you call Chinese anime or LN]: an average NEET hikki who will never get a girlfriend agrees to marry some old couple's dead daughter in return for enough money to buy loads of vidya. After choking to death on a cheeto, he finds himself in hell.
Good news: Hell isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be. It's actually quite comfy.
Bad news: His yandere-as-fuck wife is waiting for him there.
Hijinks ensue.

As a Chinese myself, I think the movie The Stormriders (With Aaron Kwok and Ekin Cheng) is the best example of Chinese high-fantasy I've seen. (By high fantasy, I mean there's actually 'magic' with fireballs, elemental powers and magic swords.)

For low-fantasy, Jin Yong's works are pretty good. Return of the Condor Heroes is probably the classic one, though.
