Hanvueng, the Goose King (Hanqvuengz), is the elder of two royal step-brothers in the Zhuang epic that bears his name, edited and translated from a traditional Zhuang manuscript by David Holm and Meng Yuanyao. The designation is a title rather than a personal name: the son who does not inherit the chiefly domain. Wronged by his younger brother, the Goose King relinquishes the earthly kingdom and ascends to rule in the sky, the Zhuang associating his high-flying, migratory character with the wild goose; thereafter he must be paid yearly offerings from below. The Hanvueng scripture is chanted by mogong (bumo) priests to heal feuds between brothers and to address deaths by violence, smallpox and similar calamities.
