Jingwei and the Sea

from The Mythographist · host Jaer Christie

Have you ever been so mad at something that you decided you wanted to kill it? Has that thing ever been the ocean? If you answered yes to both of these questions, then you have a lot in common with the daughter of Yan Di, China's Flame Emperor. This week, we look at what I believe is one of the most important Chinese myths, and its genuinely surprising moral implications. Join me, Jaer Christie, as I explore the hidden legends that shape the world on this episode of The Mythographist: Myths of Mainland China, Jingwei and the Sea.
