Xiang River
The two Xiang River goddesses are ancient in mythology. They are associated with the Xiang River in the former Chu area of China. They are also mythologically credited with causing a certain type of bamboo to develop a mottled appearance said to resemble tear-drops ("lacrima" "deae"). The two Xiang River goddesses (Xiangfei) are named Éhuáng and Nǚyīng.
