== Historical Background ==

Shèn 蜃, was a Chinese sea dragon in the shape of a clam, however, it could constantly(and would) change its own shape into what it desired. From this creature, the word 蜃景 shènjǐng, meaning "mirage" comes into being, from the many forms of Shèn. (Many words are such created this way, similar to 年 nián, which was a monster that came and ate people every year. Such is how its modern meaning (year) comes into place.)
   
  +
The hanzi 蜃 is comprised of the phonetic element 辰 chén, one of the 2 hour periods of the day, and the radical 虫 chóng, meaning an insect.
 
=== Historical Background ===
 
In Taoist Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shen 沈 is the word for "spirit" 精神 or "soul" 魂. During the Ghost Festival, a traditional Chinese festival and holiday, which is celebrated on the 14th night of the 7th lunar month, the Chinese honor their ancestors by, among other activities, releasing miniature paper boats and lanterns on water, which signifies "giving directions to the lost ghosts." Note that a [[Shrimp Lantern]], a small lit toy, is released to trigger this NM to pop (presumably the paper boat was replaced with a tin shrimp because Uragnites eat shrimp). See the link for more information on the Ghost Festival [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_festival].
 
 
 
In the Chinese language, shen can refer to a person, sash, to stretch, to groan, Orion's Belt, deep, or as a character to indicate something personal or pertaining to a human 人 (shēn), sacred 神 (shén), to investigate, aunt, juice 汁 (shěn), scrupulous, to seep in 滲 (shèn). In Chinese, chan (see last paragraph) can refer to leading by the hand (chān), an insect-like animal, a cicada, a weak person, to tangle, crafty, the sound of flowing water, a plot of land (chán), product, shovel, to destroy, to clarify (chǎn), to tremble, or to repent (chàn). Combining the 2 characters, shenchen means "deep". It seems the most likely meanings are "deep" or "sacred" (shén is a character placed with other characters can denote something sacred, holy, or supernatural, like a priest, holy man, child prodigy, or mysterious, mythical) based on it being a shelled sea creature that drops a piece of gear for [[White Mage|WHM]].
 
 
 
In Ancient Egypt, the Shen Ring was a symbol which was a circle with a tangent line running through its base. It represented eternity. Shenu was the Egyptian word for "encircle".
 
 
 
Another possibility is that Shen is a mistranslation of Chan. In Chinese mythology, Chan was a giant clam, a sea monster living in the ocean. Its "out breathing" would cause coral reefs to be shaped and transformed into amazing palaces. [''needs corroboration, only one account was found'']
 
 
 
[''If anyone has more information on the Chinese mythological Chan, please feel free to add to the existing paragraph'']

Historical Background

Shèn 蜃, was a Chinese sea dragon in the shape of a clam, however, it could constantly(and would) change its own shape into what it desired. From this creature, the word 蜃景 shènjǐng, meaning "mirage" comes into being, from the many forms of Shèn. (Many words are such created this way, similar to 年 nián, which was a monster that came and ate people every year. Such is how its modern meaning (year) comes into place.)

The hanzi 蜃 is comprised of the phonetic element 辰 chén, one of the 2 hour periods of the day, and the radical 虫 chóng, meaning an insect.
