1600-1046 BCE), oracle bone scripts and other texts make reference to a Dì 帝 deity who personifies heaven and the highest divine power in the universe. The Dragon Emperor may not just be based on the Jade Emperor, but also a longer tradition of supreme heavenly sovereigns in Chinese mythology. Some more points on the mythological inspiration behind the Dragon Emperor and Moon Empress: They were a whole order of magnitude better protected. This isn't historical bickering(it's a fantasy, after all), but bringing in Iron pagodas isn't right. The closest thing in 'shapes' is Jin (晋）heavy infantryman with some Ming details&tech and weird pieces impractical for a footman. To put it bluntly - by Song era(by mid-Tang, to be frank) - this type of protection was both out of the realm of possibility for government armories, out of fashion, and very outdated. Wrong technologies&styles(helmet), wrong approach (single layer by Song times is simply having a death wish - especially one closed on the front), wrong elements (shoulder/hand protection), and finally - wrong use (flat riding boots on the ground, outdated by millennia cavalryman's neck protection). This list is enough to rule out both 宋/金 completely as inspirations.

Single, wide leather belt over silk ribbon Separate piece, strap-on laminar groin protection Small, separate, leather belt-strapped shoulder pads Single-layer, knee-length lamellar with roping on the front (but for some weird reason doesn't cover shoulders) Single-piece, cast helmet with plumage and fixed cheek protection.
