In #ChineseFolklore, the one-armed people of the mythical Qigong country craft ingenious bird traps and flying chariots to ride the wind. During King Tang’s reign of the Shang Dynasty, a west wind carried one of these chariots to Yuzhou. 1/2
To keep it hidden from locals, Tang destroyed it. Ten years later, an east wind returned, and Tang rebuilt the chariot, sending them home. Qigong lies forty thousand li from Yumen Pass. 2/2
