Last week, we began the story of Erlang Shen, the vagrant boy who tamed the dog that tried to eat the sun and, with his sister, was adopted by the mystic Yuding Zhenren. After many years of studying with the master, he reveals to them that their mother was a goddess who came to earth and suffered a mortal wound defending humankind from a terrible dragon. And this week, we complete that story, and learn why Erlang Shen is held in such high esteem as a model son. Join me, Jaer Christie, as I explore the hidden legends that shape the world on The Mythographist: Myths of Mainland China.   Written, narrated, and produced by Jaer Christie Research by Jaer Christie & Elena Tung   Music: "Dancing Abroad" & "The Night" by Shaoqing Luna Li - https://filmmusic.io/u/sqluna/music  License CC BY 4.0 - (https://filmmusic.io/standard-license)   "Peony Khan" by China National Orchestra, used under CC fair use.
