Birth of Zhe Na

Life, Birth

Beset by strange dreams, Zhe Li Jing's wife knew she would soon give birth again. In her dream a wu jen approaches and touches her bosom. Believing this to be an auspicious sign she celebrated, and soon discovered her pregnancy.
Lady Yin was pregnant for three years and six months. She visited every sage she could to find answers. All assured her that she was to have a lucky birth, blessed by the gods. Eventually, Lady Yin gave birth to a huge flesh egg. Expecting an auspicious, divine birth but seeing what they assumed to be a work of diabolic evil, Zha Jing attack the ball of flesh with his sword. The ball split open, and instead of a baby, a toddler jumped out. The prodigous child could speak and walk as soon as they met him.
They named him Zhe Na.
