The ninth wind is the strongest.
The ninth wind comes from within.
Really came here with variants of the same idea but you nailed it lol
Sounds like the Chinese variant of Diogenes at work, I'd love to hear more details - was this something that really happened or a clever tale constructed later? If those people were real, what else did they produce?
All parables and proverbs are made up, with old characters added to give fake legitimacy.
Now you gonna tell me old man Yu didn't have his family raze down that mountain?
Very true - although I'd add an "almost", at least in a few cases, authentic letters - or for the modern era, recordings - can at least root the fundamentals in something that actually happened. (Although even then, whatever gets tossed around as a parable/proverb will be heavily embellished and/or stripped of context, of course).
Some hot air, I’d imagine.
who decides how many winds there are, anyways
When Chaos energy enters into the material world; the Choatic energy refacts into eight winds of magic.
There is:
- Hysh (Light)
- Chamon (Metal)
- Ghyran (Life)
- Azyr (Heavens)
- Ulgu (Shadow)
- Shyish (Death)
- Aqshy (Fire)
- Ghur (Beasts)
- Fart
I think you forgot Psychic, Water, and Fairy types.
i love when lists like this include “metal” bc you can get a vague idea of when they were conceived.
it’s a little like how everytime a standout hit movie or game comes out, without fail it’ll be topping “best x of all time” lists for a year or so. at least until the next big exciting thing releases lmao
