Qué describe el pasaje
The entry first traces the Xian River north into the Yi, then says it contains many Ming She. They resemble snakes with four wings, sound like a stone chime, and appear in connection with local drought. The water setting matters; this is not simply a winged snake placed in a desert.
Límites de la interpretación
Body, wings, and chime-like sound combine visual and auditory description. The omen formula links appearance with drought but supplies no physical explanation. A comparison with Fu Zhu's flood should preserve those details rather than reduce the two beings to opposite elemental abilities.
