🌊Shanhai jing 28: Chu-niao. A blue bird with a yellow body and six heads. It might be warm and crowded like a swallow’s nest in breeding season.

🌊Shanhai jing 26: Qi-tu, the three headed laughing crow. The description says their meat may help to prevent nightmares. Maybe they were a happy crow.

🌊Shanhai jing 15: Fen, the six-legged noisy magpie with a white body and a red tail. The description doesn’t mention their head, so I felt I should add some to let them be noisier.

🌊Shanhai jing 27: Dang-hu. A pheasant that flies with feathers around the ear or neck. That sounds weird, but maybe it was for jumping courtship like Lesser floricans.

17羽め:數斯(Shu-si)。前回は人間の手でしたが、人間の足を持つトビ似の鳥。肉を食べると癭(くびのこぶ)に効くという。きっと立派なおみ足をしておられるのでバレエとか踊ってほしい。どちらも鳶似で人間の手足を持っているけど、鴸とは生息地も違うっぽいし名前の意味も対称性がなさそうなので、特に対の存在として空想されたわけではないのかも?

🌊Shanhai jing 14: Luo-luo. The only available description about this bird is “They eat humans”. One of the most enigmatic birds in ancient China.

🌊Shanhai jing 8: Man-man. One-eyed, one-winged ducks. They need a partner to fly. When they appear, floods will strike the country.

🌊Shanhai jing 3: Bi-fang. A blue crane with one leg. You should watch out for a fire when you find them. The description reminds me of Stanley crane.

🌊Shanhai jing 2: Qu-ru. The ancient manuscript says they are a duck with a human face, while they are depicted as a three-headed pheasant in the 17c. So, I did both.🦆

1羽め:鸓。カササギに似た双頭・4本脚の鳥とされています。「火を防ぐ」特性は耐火性の解釈で描いてみました。青系の色なら水かなーと思ったけど、原典では赤黒い→自身も火属性だけど人間を火から守ってくれることもあるという感じ。金属っぽい装飾は自分の能力を制御するための鎧(とはいえこの頃の金属は青銅器でそんなに火に強くはないはず…が使っていたのは人間だしまあいいか)のようなもののつもり。
