Water, Part One

Celestial Waters: Thirteen Types

Celestial Waters (天水, Tiānshuǐ) refers to waters that originate from the heavens, such as rain, dew, and frost, as opposed to terrestrial sources like rivers or wells.

Rainwater from the Supplement to the Materia Medica original: 拾遺 (Shíyí). This refers to the Tang Dynasty work Bencao Shiyi by Chen Zangqi.

Puddled Rainwater from the Compendium original: 潦水 (Liǎoshuǐ). Specifically refers to water that has accumulated in puddles or hollows on the ground after a heavy storm.

Frost Water from the Supplement to the Materia Medica

Sweet Dew from the Supplement to the Materia Medica original: 甘露 (Gānlù). In ancient Chinese thought, this was considered a legendary, sweet-tasting dew that fell when the heavens were in harmony with the earth.

Honey of Sweet Dew from the Supplement to the Materia Medica original: 甘露蜜 (Gānlùmì). Likely referring to manna or the sweet secretions found on plants, often associated with specific meteorological conditions.
