Chinese · numen · mythic prehistory · Recorded classification
The registry holds Shaohao, from whom the Zuo Zhuan descends him — which means the older, human version of this figure connects to a record already in the corpus, and the monster version does not connect to anything. The record keeps both and asserts neither as the true one, because the sources are two different kinds of document.
