Yinshi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yinshi a minor character featured within the famed ancient Chinese novel Investiture of the Gods (more commonly known as Fengshen Yanyi). Yinshi is the mother of the famed celestial being, Nezha and the wife of Li Jing. Throughout the Nezha birth arc in Fengshen Yanyi, Yinshi would always be known to reflect many acts of kindness to her third son -- no matter what he truly did. Thus, Yinshi would be seen protecting Nezha at many times throughout the novel, even when he performed horendous actions such as the killing of Ao Guang's third son, Ao Bing. After Nezha had given his own body as a sacrifice to Ao Guang in order to protect his family, Yinshi would end up erecting a temple atop the Green Screen Hill as a stationing area for Nezha's spirit (this was because Nezha continuously pleaded to her in her sleep). Yinshi would be scolded by Li Jing profusely following this point.
