《山海经·西山经》：「有神焉，其状如黄囊，赤如丹火，六足四翼，浑敦无面目，是识歌舞，实为帝江也。」
AI-assisted contemporary artwork, not a reconstruction of an ancient illustration.
Faceless and singing, with six legs and four wings. Di Jiang keeps the joy from before language: when categories fail, all things briefly return to the undivided whole.
Don't rush to sort right from wrong. Before things came apart, they were the same song.
You do not need a face to be recognized. There is a joy of its own inside chaos.
Textual source · 《山海經·西山經》
The Tian Shan passage describes a divine being through a striking sequence: a sack-like form, fiery color, six feet, four wings, and no face, yet knowledge of song and dance. It does not describe an attack or a disaster. Anatomy and ability must be read separately: the absence of a human face does not imply the absence of expression.
SYNREX's theme of chaos is a contemporary reading of that contrast. This passage does not narrate the creation of the universe or explain how a faceless being sings. Leaving those questions open is more faithful to the record than filling them with an invented catalogue of powers.
