The ninth wind is the strongest.

The ninth wind comes from within.

Really came here with variants of the same idea but you nailed it lol

Sounds like the Chinese variant of Diogenes at work, I'd love to hear more details - was this something that really happened or a clever tale constructed later? If those people were real, what else did they produce?

Apparently the poet was "Su Dongpo" and the friend was "Fo yin" if you google the names together, this story comes up.
Super random but there is also apparently a dish named after the poet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dongpo_pork

Damn, this guy went super hard.
On the Birth of a Son
Families when a child is born
Hope it will turn out intelligent.
I, through intelligence
Having wrecked my whole life,
Only hope that the baby will prove
Ignorant and stupid.
Then he'll be happy all his days
And grow into a cabinet minister.

Thanks, that should be enough for diving down a research rabbit hole!

Some hot air, I’d imagine.

All parables and proverbs are made up, with old characters added to give fake legitimacy.

Very true - although I'd add an "almost", at least in a few cases, authentic letters - or for the modern era, recordings - can at least root the fundamentals in something that actually happened. (Although even then, whatever gets tossed around as a parable/proverb will be heavily embellished and/or stripped of context, of course).

Now you gonna tell me old man Yu didn't have his family raze down that mountain?

Even star wars?

who decides how many winds there are, anyways

When Chaos energy enters into the material world; the Choatic energy refacts into eight winds of magic.
There is:
- Hysh (Light)
- Chamon (Metal)
- Ghyran (Life)
- Azyr (Heavens)
- Ulgu (Shadow)
- Shyish (Death)
- Aqshy (Fire)
- Ghur (Beasts)

I think you forgot Psychic, Water, and Fairy types.

i love when lists like this include “metal” bc you can get a vague idea of when they were conceived.
it’s a little like how everytime a standout hit movie or game comes out, without fail it’ll be topping “best x of all time” lists for a year or so. at least until the next big exciting thing releases lmao
