Jingwei information


Jingwei as depicted in the 1597 edition of the Shanhaijing

Jingwei (traditional Chinese: 精衛; simplified Chinese: 精卫; pinyin: Jīngwèi; Wade–Giles: Ching-wei; lit. 'Spirit Guardian')[1] is a bird in Chinese mythology, who was transformed from Yandi's daughter Nüwa.[a][2] She is also a goddess in Chinese mythology.[3] After she drowned when playing in the Eastern Sea, she metamorphosed into a bird called Jingwei.[2] Jingwei is determined to fill up the sea, so she continuously carries a pebble or twig in her mouth and drops it into the Eastern Sea.[2]
