Li Sao (Falling into Grief) #10:
By 白云立 Bai Yunli |
離騷圖 #10
(Qu Yuan) rides the wind up (to heaven) (line 184) |
(04.36- 05.13 of the Li Sao recording)
Nevertheless, Qu Yuan remains in despair. So he gets himself a phoenix chariot drawn by dragons and leaves Cang Wu, where Shun resides, and rides up to Kunlun, the world's highest mountain. From here he travels across the heavens, encountering the chariot which pulls the sun across the sky, then traveling around the world through whirlwinds and rainbows, finally returning to Kunlun.
