精衛（山海經云炎帝之女名曰女娃於皆反方言云娃美女也女娃遊於東海溺水而不返化為鳥名曰精衛帝取西山之木石以填東海報其惌也一云鳴即自呼云精衛也）。

精衛 (Jingwei bird: The Classic of Mountains and Seas says: "The daughter of the Flame Emperor was named Nüwa (fanqie 於皆)." The Fangyan says: "Wa means a beautiful woman." Nüwa went wandering in the Eastern Sea, drowned, and did not return, transforming into a bird named Jingwei. The Emperor took timber and stones from the western mountains to fill up the Eastern Sea to avenge her grievance. Another account says that when calling, it cries out its own name, 'Jingwei').
