Song Dynasty Inspired Goldfish Mermaid. The selective breeding of goldfish for their color started in Song Dynasty ponds. So clearly I needed a Song Dynasty (AD 960–1279) mermaid. #historicalmermaids #mermaids #merfolk #ellenartistic #songdynasty

In Daoist ritual, the “Three Officials Handwritten Documents” (三官手書) are written to seek healing and forgiveness.
A Daoist helps the ill write their name and repentance three times: one paper is offered on a mountain to the Heavenly Official for blessings, one buried for the Earthly Official’s 1/2

Flowers, by themselves, fall.
Water too runs alone.
One shared longing,
Parted between two.
Unrelenting, it falls
from the brows, only to rise
in the heart.

In Daoist ritual, the Three Officials Handwritten Documents (三官手書) turn repentance into a physical act of healing.
The afflicted person writes their name and confession three times, each sheet sent to a different realm. One is carried to a mountain altar for the Heavenly Official, 1/3
