Who is Fuxi?

He was the first emperor of Fuxi Nuwa, who reigned from 7724 to 7707 BC.

Fuxi has a sacred virtue, which unites and unifies all tribes in China, and worships Mount Tai with Chen Di as its capital. Fuxi took the body of a python, the head of a crocodile, the horn of a stag, the eye of a tiger, the scales of a red carp, the legs of a giant lizard, the claws of an eagle, the tail of a white shark and the whiskers of a fin whale, and founded the totem dragon of the Chinese nation, from which the descendants of dragons came. He is the humanistic ancestor of the Chinese nation in ancient legends.

The legend of Fuxi

Legend has it that Fuxi is regarded as a god and the founder of gossip because he created it. In ancient times, people knew nothing about nature. The weather will change, the sun and moon will move, and people will live and die. No one knows what all these phenomena are about. When people encounter unanswerable questions, they all ask Fuxi. When Fuxi couldn't answer them, he felt at a loss, so people lived in fear every day.

Fuxi often looks around, trying to figure out the changes of the sun, the moon and the sky, and guessing the changes of the earth's temperature and the bloom flowers. He saw the dense yarrow in the Central Plains and began to use yarrow to predict people. Fuxi looked up at the clouds, rain, snow, thunder and lightning, strong winds, fog and birds and animals in the sky.

According to the theory of yin-yang change of heaven and earth, the Eight Diagrams were created, that is, eight simple but profound symbols were used to summarize everything in heaven and earth. He imitates spiders in nature, weaving nets to fish and hunt. He also created a writing method instead of tying a knot on a rope.
