The prototype of Jiutian Xuannv in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is the ancient Black Bird. She is a goddess with boundless power and good use of military skills, also known as Jiutian Empress.
It is recorded in the "Book of Mountains and Seas" that there is a mountain within the North Sea, called the Mountain of Youdu, from which the black water emerges. On it are black birds, black snakes, black foxes, the mountains of Daxuan, and the people of Xuanqiu.
As the name suggests, the black bird is a black bird, but some people mistake the black bird for the phoenix, which is a bit unrealistic.
In ancient mythology, the Nine Heavens Xuannv is the founder of the ancient dynasty Shang Dynasty. It is recorded in "The Book of Songs. Ode to Shang. The Theory of Black Birds" that "The Black Bird of Destiny descended and gave birth to Shang". This is the Yin Dynasty. The poems written by descendants of the Shang Dynasty to worship their ancestors clearly told people that the heaven and earth appointed the black bird to give birth to the ancestors of the Shang Dynasty. Jian Di, the mother of Qi, the ancestor of the Shang Dynasty, was bathing in the Xuanqiu River. A black bird passed by and laid an egg. Jian Di ate it and gave birth to Qi, the ancestor of the Shang Dynasty.

Later, the Queen Mother of the West sent Xuannv to help the Yellow Emperor. Finally, the Xuannv set up the Qimen Dunjia formation, and finally subdued Chi You and helped the Yellow Emperor win.
It is recorded in "The Yellow Emperor Asks Xuannv about the Art of War" written in the Six Dynasties that the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou were defeated in nine out of nine battles. The Yellow Emperor returned to Mount Tai. For three days and three nights, in a foggy sky, there was a woman with a human head and the shape of a bird. , Huang Di bowed his head and bowed again, but did not dare to get up. The woman said, "I am the mysterious daughter, what do you want to ask?"
In fact, Xuannv came from a mysterious tribe of witches. This tribe knew astronomy and geography, and was good at using the art of war. The oracle bone inscriptions were the graphics they used to draw for witchcraft rituals. They went to Yunmeng Daze, to the coastal mouth of the Yangtze River and landed in the north, and finally took over the Central Plains. Along the way, they developed and established the Yin and Shang dynasties. Witchcraft was their belief in life. They used tortoise shells for divination, recording their mysterious and vivid lives.
