One graph for both the history and the mythology of early China

The same Jiang Ziya who serves as the venerated strategist of King Wu in the Records of the Grand Historian wields the Whip of Gods as a Kunlun disciple in the Ming-dynasty novel Investiture of the Gods. This site places 878 figures and 3092 relationships from both canons — plus the creatures of the Classic of Mountains and Seas — on a single interactive graph. Historical figures are solid circles with solid lines; mythic beings are glowing diamonds with dashed lines; and 142 figures who live in both worlds wear a golden ring. Every relationship is cited to its source chapter.

Dual identity · remembered by both history and myth
