The Qigong flying cart
EvidenceDocumentedThe text exists and is quoted from a published translation. What it describes is a separate question.
What this means
Primary records exist: an original document, a published text, an official file or a dated report. We link to them. This level says the record exists and what it says, not that every claim in it is true.
The one-armed Qigong people build flying carts that ride the wind. One lands in the time of King Tang, who has it taken apart so his people will not see it. Ten years later, when the right wind comes, the travelers rebuild it and fly home.
