According to Shan Hai Jing and other ancient books, the tenth day in the ancient Chinese sun myth and legend is the son of Di Jun and He. They are both human and divine, the embodiment of the sun, the three-legged bird of the sun, and the flying god.

As one of the birds in China's ancient legends, the image of the sun was originally bipedal, and it evolved into tripodal in the late Western Han Dynasty. See the bipedal grandson unearthed from Mawangdui Han Tomb. It is said that the ancients saw sunspots and thought they were black birds-crows. Because it is essentially different from a crow, a foot is added to distinguish it. Three-legged Sun is the name of a legendary bird riding a Japanese car in China mythology.
