Are Da Yi and Hou Yi the same person?

Hou Yi can refer to two people, one is a figure in the Five Emperors period, an archer of Emperor Yao, and the husband of Chang 'e, who is the same person as "Da Yi"; In addition, "Houyi" can also refer to the monarch of a poor country in the Xia Dynasty, who is not the same person as "Dayi" and is also called "Yi" and "Hou", which is the title of the monarch in the Xia Dynasty. The Dongyi people in the Xia Dynasty had a poor leader (now from Dezhou, Shandong Province) who was born in Dezhou, Shandong Province. After Xia Hou's death, his sons succeeded to the throne. Soon, Yi Yi became a monarch one by one, the sixth monarch in Xia Dynasty, and was later killed by Han Zhuo, a courtier.

Yi, whose real name is Yi, Yi and Yi, was an archer of Chang 'e's husband, Yao Di, and was sealed in Shangqiu (now Shangqiu City, Henan Province) by Yao Di. He is good at archery. He once helped Di Yao shoot Nine Days Later and CoCo Lee. People respect him as "Yi, Da Yi".

Because the monarch of a poor country in Xia Dynasty, Hou Yi, also had the word "Yi" in his name, and he was also good at archery, it was easy for later generations to confuse his deeds with his titles, so that now they are confused.

Shoot for nine days

When Emperor Yao was in power, ten suns appeared in the sky at the same time, which scorched the land and dried up the crops. People were out of breath from the heat and fell unconscious on the ground. Due to the hot weather, some strange birds and animals also ran out from the dry rivers and lakes and the fiery forests, causing harm to people everywhere. Emperor Yao invited Dayi, and the city immediately launched a battle to shoot the sun. He took the red bow from his shoulder, took out the white arrows and shot them at his arrogant grandson one by one. In an instant, ten suns hit nine. Since then, the climate is suitable and everything can grow.

Kill the evil beast

In the Central Plains, Yaye Pei, who was rampant in evil, was originally a god with a face and a snake body. In the era of the Yellow Emperor, he was killed by Er Fu, the face-faced snake god. The Yellow Emperor punished He Wei and put a cangue on their right feet. At the same time, the Yellow Emperor ordered the murdered cassock to be carried back to Kunlun Mountain, and gathered Wu Peng, Wu Di, Wu Yang, Wu Lu, Wu Fan and Wu Xiang to cast spells together and saved him with elixir. After he came back from the dead, he lost his nature, jumped wildly, fell into the weak water at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, and became a terrible monster with ferocious face, horseshoe shape, red hair and long beard. He wailed like a baby.

10 came out, weak water was burned by the sun, and I couldn't bear to part with it. It fled to the shore and ate when it saw people and animals. Even the belt bones were swallowed together, and countless people and animals were swallowed by it. It came to the Central Plains. When I found it, I was lying on the ground gnawing at several bodies, and the mountains were covered with broken heads.

Seal dolphin: seal dolphin is a kind of wild boar, which lives in mulberry forest (now Sanggu Township, Xiayi County, Shangqiu) and was killed by Yi.

Jiuying: In order to get realgar, Daying went to the north and killed Jiuying. Nine babies were born at the beginning of the world. They can spit water and fire. Spit when you are happy and ruin roads and fields. If you are angry, you will get angry, burn crops and houses. Seeing Yi, Jiuying was not as afraid as the first two evil beasts, but directly fought with them. Dayu dodged everywhere to avoid the dangerous network of fire and water. Immediately, seize the opportunity to send nine arrows in succession, ending the nine babies.

Repair the snake: After Dayu took the realgar, he went to Dongting to kill the snake, also known as "Ba Shou". The place where Bashu died was later called Baling.

Tooth cutting: In the wilderness of China, there lived a monster named Tooth cutting. A chisel tooth has an animal head, and its tooth shape is like a chisel. It can penetrate stones. Seeing Dayu coming towards you with a bow and arrow, he picked up his shield and stuck out his teeth to prepare for the battle. When Hou Yi slashed his sword, the shield suddenly broke in two. The incisor turned and ran in fear, and Hou Yi drew his bow and wound it, and an arrow hit the incisor's heart.

Gale: With the help of Wu, Dayi killed Gale in Qingqiu Zeze.
