ZHĒNWǓ DÀDÌ — LE GUERRIER QUI GARDE LE NORD

High among mountains covered in mist, where dark waters flow and shadows awaken, a warrior stands watch. Zhēnwǔ Dàdì (真武大帝), the “True Warrior,” is a major Taoist deity strongly associated with the North, water, protection and Mount Wudang. This song is a musical interpretation not only of his power, but also of what he represents: self-mastery, discipline and the strength of a warrior who does not need anger to fight. Water does not always strike the stone. It waits. It flows around it. It persists. Until even stone eventually yields. The tortoise and serpent also appear as major symbols surrounding Zhēnwǔ, closely connected to Xuánwǔ and the symbolism of the North.

Where a warrior still stands guard. 真武大帝 — Zhēnwǔ Dàdì The true warrior is not the one who never knows fear. He is the one who has learned to master himself.
