Legend has it that there were ten suns in the sky in ancient times, all of whom were sons of the Eastern Heaven Emperor. These ten suns and their mother, the wife of the Emperor of Heaven, live on the edge of the East China Sea. Ten suns burned plants and scorched crops.
In order to save the people, Hou Yi shot nine suns in a row. Since then, the climate on the ground is suitable and everything can grow. He also shot wild animals and poisonous snakes, killing people. Therefore, people regard him as "the God of Arrows".
Brief introduction of Hou Yi:
Hou Yi, formerly known as "Yi Gi", is one of the "group teachers" (Sikong, Situ, etc.). The original meaning of "teacher" refers to the intergenerational transmission of knowledge and skills in the family. Yi means "archer". "Yi Gi" is a "hereditary shooter". In the era of Di Ku, a shooter was appointed as the head coach of the badminton team. Since then, this prominent position has been passed down from generation to generation within the family.
In the early summer, due to Taikang's neglect of state affairs, Yi Gi, the head coach of the body guard, staged a palace coup (that is, "shooting at the sun"), which absorbed the state affairs of the Xia Dynasty and was called Hou Yi in history ("Hou" was transformed from the word "heir", meaning "hereditary emperor"). Killed by Han Zhuo, a retainer. Han Zhuo wanted to inherit the power of Hou Yi. According to the custom at that time, he wanted to marry Chang 'e, the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon, and live in Guanghan Palace, that is, my humble abode, that is, Han Zhuofu.
