Historical Origin
Zhang Heng's Nan Du Fu records: "Among its aquatic creatures are the Qiao Gui and the Ming Snake."
The Shan Hai Jing, Zhong Ci Er Jing states: "Three hundred li further west lies Xian Mountain, abundant in gold and jade, yet devoid of plants. Xian Water originates here, flowing north into the Yi River. It abounds in Ming Snakes, creatures resembling serpents with four wings, their cries like the sound of a chime. Their appearance foretells a great drought in the region." The Ming Snake's unique form embodies ancient people's rich imagination of mysterious creatures while reflecting their reverence for natural disasters and profound observation of nature.
Appearance
