-Believed to be the human form of a shui gui (a vengeful Chinese spirit/demon of a murdered person who was drowned and seeks revenge) 

'''-Origin: Ning Yingjun, born in 30 BCE, was a handsome guqin player from city of Louyang who grew up in the middle class area of the city. He was known for his talent on the instrument and played for a theatre gaining an amount of admirers from far and wide gathering to hear the humble players music. He was unlike most men in the Han dynasty and was interested in art, poetry, and dance instead of going into the military. Soon he was requested to play for Emperor Ai of Han in 5 BCE to play for a sword dance performed by Consort Fu. In his time he had gained many admirers but none interested him except for a girl who lived next door to him named Wang FengMian. To his dismay Emperor Ai (in history known for being one of many homosexual emperors) admired him as well. His many advances before the performance gained the attention of many calling it an affair. His male lover and consort Dong saw Yingjun as a threat and after Consort Fu's sword dance started to stalk Yingjun. Ai's many pleas with him to become one of his lovers failed as Yingjun refused in spite of being offered power and a high position. The day before Yingjun was set to return to FengMian, Dong had planned to murder him and trap his spirit within the confines of a paper scroll. As Yingjun walked along the palace Dong attacked and drowned him in the lake he was about to cross over. Emperor Ai found Yingjun's body in the lake and in grief named the lake Beishang de hu (Lake of Sorrows) Dong did not have time to trap Yingjun's soul so he became a vengeful spirit of the lake being able to travel from lake to lake. '''

'''-Yingjun didn't die childless. Yingjun's lover FengMian had two children (twins) with him before his death and she named them Qiufeng (Autumn's breeze) and Huiyin (excellent fame) to commemerate the father's time of passing and his growing fame'''

'''-Yingjun's spirit resides in Beishang de hu and he is credited with the deaths of 3 children, 10 senior citizens, and 13 adults. The stories say that if you hear guqin music around the lake then Yingjun is trying to play his guqin to let his children or his lover know he is there and asks for help. In the incidents of the 3 children it is blamed that they followed the music in a hypnotic trance until falling into the lake cracking their head open in the shallow ends or getting their ankles stuck in reeds. All 26 deaths have been called accidental drownings. '''

'''-To ease Yingjun's restless spirit yearly Buddhist monks hold a prayer session at the lake and leave gifts of rice and poetry on the edges of the lake. '''

'''Origins again: Yingjun had an older sister LiFei (born in 45 BCE and arrived in the palace in 22 BCE) who became known as the previous Emperor Cheng's (Ai's father) consort died at the late age of 69 in grief after being told about her younger brother's death almost 46 years after he had been murdered. '''

'''-Yingjun's spirit often is described to appear as above but with a long eel like tail wrapped around the rock people say the guqin music comes from. Or he appears as a giant eel with sharp teeth and large white eyes. '''

-The SEBFUA has captured Yingjun's spirit in a scroll and it now resides in a museum in London England
