Overview
Jimeng lives on Mount Guang in the Shanhaijing. It has a human body and a dragon’s head. It continually moves through the Zhang pool, and its emergence and entry bring violent wind and rain.
Mount Guang contains blue-green stone above and trees below. The named pool and storm-accompanied movement give the hybrid an explicitly aquatic setting, while the human body and dragon head define its appearance.
