A Prelude to the Adventures of the Boatperson of Heaven by springgreen for lnhammer
Chinese Mythology
24 Dec 2012
Tags
Summary
The boat was moored to the dock, and everything looked just as I had left it, save the year-old crust of magpie droppings all over the cover. Ugh. You'd think celestial birds could avoid crapping all over the Heavenly Boatman's boat, even if the Heavenly Boatman himself were currently stuck somewhere under a mountain doing penance and only his somewhat-less-Heavenly wife and daughter were left to take care of it. Celestial courtesy, maybe. But then, Heaven has always been a bit short on courtesy that would actually make a difference.

Summary
She had many names. The woman who was a river. She was not a goddess. She was not an immortal. She did not serve in the court of the Jade Emperor with his carved boxes of display where objects were accorded their perfect context. She did not serve in the court of the Queen Mother of the West with her orchard of peaches by the jade lake at the foot of the Green mountains.
Yi, the Pacifier of the Country. Hou Yi, the archer god. Houyi, the piercer of sunbirds. He ever journeyed.
The moons, sleeping, they shone down from the River of Stars.
