The living story

The story so far

Of the patterned coat: horse-bodied, white-headed, tiger-striped, red-tailed, singing like a folk song. The Classic prescribes its pelt to anyone wishing for many sons and grandsons — the ancient world's most specific fashion advice. It wears the stripes. You do the math.

Happening now

It is grazing right now, stripes bright in the mountain light, singing its folk song while a hopeful couple watches from the treeline, taking notes.

What may come

One day the couple will come back with their many sons and grandsons — a whole noisy family of them — and the Lushu will look at the crowd, and sing a little louder, and the Classic will have to admit the prescription worked. It always works. The stripes know.

The Shanhai Wilds

The old bestiary, personified: nine-tailed foxes, torch dragons, the faceless dancer Hundun, the rain-bringing Yinglong, the white sage-beast Baize. Every strange thing about them is in the ancient books — nothing made up.
