War song of the Anyang archers:
None can stand beneath our flights
Of arrows sent in broad daylight;
Our winged death bears your name;
Quit the field and bear the shame
Or as you stand, now in rows,
You’ll be feast for tomorrow’s crows.
The bowmen of Anyang trained rigorously to support spearmen and swordsmen. Often positioned behind the front lines, they were able to send flights of deadly arrows over the friendly troops to devastate the enemy prior to close action. Powerful bows gave them great distance, deadly accuracy up close and the force needed to pierce the best armor of the day.
Their war chant rang loud over the battlefield as troops prepared for battle and many an enemy slipped quietly away adding much to the dismay and diminishment of the enemy. Spearmen and archers would often alternate singing to make sure that all the enemy knew they were destined to die that day.

Court Procedings of Huang Di
The Yellow Emperor: Li approach! Still no news from Biwa?
Councilor Li: Why Sire I was just on my way to tell of the ship that arrived on this morning’s tide.
The Yellow Emperor: A courier? A message? A ship has made the passage! Quickly man, tell me all, or tomorrow you’ll be my furrier.
Councilor Li: Sire, may I approach a bit?
The Yellow Emperor: Of course my man!
Councilor Li: [whispers]
The Yellow Emperor: Trade!
Councilor Li: [whispers]
The Yellow Emperor: Embassy!
Councilor Li: [whispers]
The Yellow Emperor: Prosperity for all!
Councilor Li: Yes my Lord.
The Yellow Emperor: Tell the Queen!
Councilor Li: Yes my Lord.
The Yellow Emperor: The east is won
By good relations with the Morning Sun;
Spread the news, tell the Queen
Then back to court where you’ll be seen,
And I will speak as your King
To get us started in this trading thing;
Take the list of their needs
Put some riders on our fastest steeds
Seek the goods and merchants wily
Stamp this treaty with my smiley.

Chronicles of Anyang: Affairs of the Heart
On the balcony over looking the Morning Garden of the Red Lotus, the Yellow Emperor sat in repose as Luo Zu, his young bride, composed a new hymn to the goddess Cuiv, now rising in the evening sky. Their eyes drifted to the north and then back to one another. Their feet touched.
Luo Zu: Do you think we will hear from our northern embassy soon?
Huang Di: I do hope so. The rumors are intriguing, but a few facts would improve my disposition. Such a migration of barbarians cannot be neglected or ignored.
Luo Zu: In the market my ladies hear that their women are very beautiful.
Huang Di: Perhaps they are, but they will pale in your bright light much like the distant stars do when Cuiv is in her glory like tonight. You need not fear my eye will wander like a planet through the bejeweled night.
Luo Zu: My Lord, I blush!
Huang Di: And are all the prettier for it. But news would be good. We've waited long and held ourselves in check in hopes of their return. May Cuiv bless their journey and speed their return.
Luo Zu: I shall sing to her tonight.
