Originally the daughter of the Flame Emperor, transformed into the mythical bird Jingwei after drowning in the Eastern Sea. She tirelessly carries wood and stones from the Western Mountains to fill the sea, vowing revenge. Her story became the idiom 'Jingwei Tries to Fill the Sea,' a symbol of persistence and resilience in Chinese literature and philosophy. She reflects the cultural admiration for determination, with appearances in poetry, painting, and modern adaptations.
