"You say 'Ancient Yin Spirit'?" Evil asked in surprise, his hands clenched involuntarily.

"That's right, the same root of the Black Stone Demon Clan, also born from the source of the Demon Spirit in the Extreme Abyss, the most evil thing of the Extreme Yin." Judge Stilko said silently.

"That'...... Isn't soulless dangerous right now! Evil said, his face turned pale.

"It's okay, it's dead now." As she spoke, a dark blue ball of light burst up from the palm of her hand, so crystal and luxurious, and full of brilliance. "But it won't be long before he recovers, it's just a matter of time."

"How long will that take?"

"It's possible that we won't be resuscitated until we die, or it's possible that it's now, any possibility." Stilko suddenly laughed dryly.

Evil Lai glanced at the old woman with some disgust, and then asked, "So that means we can only wait?" "Zhu Rong is the emperor of China. He used fire to transform and was called the Red Emperor. According to legend, Zhu Rong is also a musician, he often plays melodious and touching music on the high mountains, so that the people of Li are invigorated, emotional, and full of love for life. After Zhu Rong died, he was buried in the sun of Hengshan in Nanyue, and the descendants called the highest peak of Nanyue as Zhu Rong Peak in order to commemorate him. [1]

Legend 2: During the reign of the ancient emperor Yu (kuyinku), there was a man named Chongli, who was the son of Zhuan, and his official position was "Huozheng", that is, fire official. Chongli was loyal to his duties, worked hard to serve the emperor and the vast number of Li people, and was meritorious as a fire officer, so the emperor gave him the title of "Zhu Rong". "Zhu" means forever and continuously, and "Rong" is a symbol of light, that is, I hope that Chongli will continue to shine on the earth with fire and bring light to people forever. After Zhu Rong died, he was buried in the south peak of the Shun Temple of Hengshan in Nanyue, which is now under the Zhu Rong Peak.

Legend 3: During the period of the Yellow Emperor, the Yellow Emperor toured the south and couldn't tell the direction, so he asked "Zhu Rong to distinguish the south", that is, it should be said that the Nanyue of Hengyang was first identified by Zhu Rong, so he took the position of Situ. Later, Zhu Rong was sealed as Chu and became the ancestor of the Chu people. There is also a Zhurong hall on the top of Zhurong Peak in Nanyue of Hengyang today, there is a stone railing built on the rock behind the palace, you can look at the scenery of the North Mountain by the railing. How can this god of fire, the ancestor of the Chu people, Zhu Rong, also serve as the god of the sea? The ancients believed that the south belongs to fire, and fire is a symbol of light, and the origin of fire is in water, so I wish to merge water and fire into one god, and conform to the hexagram of separation from fire and direction in the south in the gossip of King Wen of Zhou.

Legend 4: During the period of Emperor Yao, the flood was monstrous, the mountains were soaked and the tombs were destroyed, and the people of Li lived in dire straits. Emperor Yao ordered Kun (personal name) to control the flood, but nine years passed without success. Later, Kun learned that there was a treasure in the sky called "Xiyang", and as long as he threw a little bit of it into the earth, it would immediately grow, accumulate into mountains, and pile up into embankments, so Kun found a way to go to the sky and steal Xiyang to the world. Plugging the flood with it, the earth finally lost sight of the flood. However, when the Emperor of Heaven knew that the soil had been stolen, he sent the god of fire Zhu Rong to kill Kun in the area of Hayama and recapture the rest of the soil. The Emperor of Heaven also ordered Zhu Rong to monitor the water control in the world, and ordered him to take charge of the power of one side of the water. Since Zhurong is the god of the south, he is one god of water and fire, and he is also the god of the South China Sea.

Legend 5: The North Water God King fought with the fire god Zhu Rong and was killed by Zhu Rong's true fire. Since then, Zhu Rong has become the god of fire and water.

Legend VI

One of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Zhu Rong: The head of the beast is human, with two fire snakes in both ears, two fire dragons on his feet, and fiery red scales all over his body.

3 Myths and legends: 1. The origin of Zhurong, the god of fire and the god of the South China Sea

Nanhai Temple is the only one of the most complete and largest surviving buildings in the ancient sea temple in China. The temple was built in the 14th year of Emperor Wen of Sui (594), and has a history of more than 1,400 years. In the following dynasties, it was rebuilt and expanded. The existing buildings are Qing Dynasty buildings, but they still retain the scale and structure of the Sui and Tang dynasties. Since 1988, the government has also carried out three major restorations of the Nanhai Temple, and the ancient appearance of the temple has been basically restored.

The only remaining hall of the main hall before the restoration is now a large temple, covering an area of 30,000 square meters. Its main building is a five-hall hall, from south to north is the head gate, the instrument gate and the corridor, the pavilion, the main hall and the Zhaoling Palace. There is a stone archway in front of the temple of the South China Sea, and the title is "the sea does not raise waves". The temple preserves many stone carvings from the past dynasties. There are also ancillary buildings such as Huabiao, Shishi, Hanyu Tablet Pavilion, Kaibao Tablet Pavilion, Hongwu Tablet Pavilion, Kangxi Wanli Bicheng Tablet Pavilion, etc., constituting a group of large-scale ancient buildings. The temple also preserves important cultural relics such as bronze drums and bells from the Han and Ming dynasties, as well as the jade seal of the god of the South China Sea. There are also ancient and famous trees such as kapok trees and acacia trees. The Han Dynasty copper drum stored here is one of the three largest surviving copper drums in China. There is a small hill in the west of the temple on the "bathing day pavilion", and the "Fuxu bathing day", one of the eight views of Yangcheng in the Song and Yuan dynasties, refers to this place.

Since the Tang Dynasty, the Nanhai Temple has flourished with incense, and the governments of various dynasties have also sent people to manage the temple affairs. In fact, it has become one of the temples with the largest number of pilgrims and the highest status, which is mainly determined by the increasingly developed maritime trade of Guangzhou.

China's ancient maritime Silk Road began to take shape in the Western Han Dynasty and reached its peak in the Sui and Tang dynasties. In particular, in the Tang Dynasty, trading fleets departing from Guangzhou passed through the countries of South Asia, crossed the Indian Ocean, reached West Asia and the Persian Gulf, and reached as far west as the east coast of Africa. After the Ming and Qing dynasties, it went as far as Europe and the United States. The route is more than 10,000 kilometers long, connecting the East and the West politically, economically and culturally, and expanding China's influence in the world.

The temple of the South China Sea, which is located in an important position on this route, has a wharf in ancient times, and outside the wharf is the vast sea - the South China Sea, which is actually the part of the Pacific Ocean close to the Southeast Asian continent, and the sea is close to the Pacific Ocean and leads to the Indian Ocean. Ships sailing out of the sea or from afar must pass through this ancient pier located in the temple of the South Sea. As a result, many merchant ships stopped here to worship at the temple to pray for safe shipping and smooth business. As a result, the town of Fuxu near the temple was crowded with business travelers, and folk temple fairs were frequently traded. It is not surprising that the prosperity of the Nanhai Temple has become a historical witness to the prosperity of Guangzhou's maritime trade, leaving behind many precious historical relics, including inscriptions and inscriptions given by the emperor. Of course, the people are more grateful to the god of the South China Sea who blessed them with smooth sailing and peace.

The Nanhai Temple sits north to south, covers an area of 30,000 square meters, is the architectural style of the Ming Dynasty, magnificent and simple and generous.

Outside the temple, there is a stone archway of "the sea does not raise waves". The main building of the temple along the central axis from south to north is the head gate, the instrument gate, the pavilion, the main hall, and the Zhaoling Palace, a total of five entrances, one entry is higher than the other. Other outbuildings are centered on the five entrances, symmetrical on the left and right. This is a more typical traditional Chinese temple architecture.

2. The story of Zhurong in the legend of Nanyue

Zhurong myths and legends say that there was a fire official in the Yellow Emperor, named Zhu Rong, his name was Li when he was a child, and he was the son of a clan leader. At that time, the tunnel people invented drilling wood to make fire, and it was not possible to save and use fire. But Li especially likes to be close to fire. So when I was a teenager, I became an expert in managing fire. When the fire reaches his hands, as long as it is not transmitted over long distances, it can be preserved for a long time. Lai would use fire to cook vegetables, cook rice, use fire to keep warm, light up, drive away wild beasts, and drive away mosquitoes. These skills were remarkable at that time. Therefore, everyone respects him very much. Once, when Li's father took the entire clan on a long migration, Li saw that it was inconvenient to walk with the fire, so he only brought the sharp stones used to drill wood for the fire with him.

Once, as soon as everyone settled down, Li took out a sharp stone, found a large barrel of wood, and sat in front of a stone mountain to "snort" and drill into a fire. Drilling, drilling, drilling for three whole hours, and there was no smoke yet, Li was very angry, he was panting in his mouth, very unhappy. But he couldn't do it without fire, so he had to drill again. Drilling, drilling, He was so angry that he stood up with a black and red face, and smashed the sharp stone into the stone mountain. Unexpectedly, the sharp stones that had been drilled very hot hit the stone mountain, and several dazzling sparks appeared with a "click". The clever Li saw it and quickly came up with a new way to make fire. He picked some sun-dried reeds, and knocked them a few times with two sharp stones against the reeds, and the sparks splashed on the reeds, and they "squeaked" and smoked. Blow softly, and the flames will go up.

Since Li discovered the method of making fire from stones, there is no longer a need to spend a lot of effort to drill wood to make fire, and there is no need to do everything possible to preserve the fire. The Yellow Emperor of the Central Plains knew that Li had such a great merit, so he invited him to go and made him a fire official specializing in fire management. The Yellow Emperor valued him very much, and said: "Li, I'll give you a big name, just call Zhu Rong, Zhu is forever, Rong is light, may you always bring light to the world." Li was very happy to hear this, and quickly kowtowed to thank him. Since then, everyone has changed their name to Zhurong.

During the reign of the Yellow Emperor, there was a clan leader named Chi You in the south, who often invaded the Central Plains and made it impossible for the people of the Central Plains to live. The Yellow Emperor ordered the people of the Central Plains to unite, led by Zhu Rong and several other generals, to crusade against Chiyou, who was overwhelming, especially his ninety-nine eighty-one brothers, all dressed in animal skins, wearing horns, and able to spray thick fog in their mouths, so not majestic. At the beginning of the war, the Yellow Emperor's troops lost their way as soon as they got into the fog, and the troops lost contact with each other and did not care for each other. Chi You's troops took advantage of the situation to pounce on them, and the Yellow Emperor's troops were defeated, and they fled north until Zhuolu before stopping. The Yellow Emperor was surrounded by Chiyou in Zhuolu and did not dare to fight for a long time. Soon, thanks to the invention of the compass, he was no longer afraid of dense fog. Later, Zhu Rong saw that Chiyou's subordinates were wearing animal skins, and offered another plan to teach each of his subordinates to light a torch and set fires everywhere, burning Chiyou's troops and fleeing to the south in a panic. The Yellow Emperor drove the guide car and led the troops to chase south. Drove across the Yellow River, across the Yangtze River, and until the hill of Lishan, and finally killed Chi You. Zhu Rong made great contributions because of his invention of the tactics of fire attack, and the Yellow Emperor rewarded him heavily, and he became an important minister of the Yellow Emperor.

When the Yellow Emperor's troops returned to the dynasty, they passed by a group of mountains south of Yunmengze. The Yellow Emperor called Zhu Rong to him and deliberately asked, "What is this mountain called?" Zhu Rong replied: "This is called Hengshan." The Yellow Emperor asked again, "What is the origin of this mountain?" Zhu Rong replied again: "In ancient times, the heavens and the earth were chaotic, like an egg. The Pangu clan opened the world and had a living being. He lived for 18,000 years, and after his death, he lay on the land of the Central Plains, with his head facing east, and became Mount Tai; The toes are in the west, becoming Huashan; The abdomen is bulging and becomes Songshan; The right hand faces north, and becomes the Heng Mountain; The left hand faces south, and it becomes the Hengshan Mountain in front of you. As soon as he finished speaking, the Yellow Emperor immediately asked: "So, why is it called Hengshan." Zhu Rong replied immediately? "This mountain lies between Yunmeng and Jiuzhi, like a stalk, which can weigh the weight of heaven and earth, and measure the morality of the emperor, so it is called Hengshan." The Yellow Emperor was very happy to see him answered, and said with a smile: "Wow! You are so familiar with the affairs of the South, I want to entrust you with a heavy responsibility! But the Yellow Emperor did not say what the heavy task was.

The team was stationed in Hengshan. The Yellow Emperor ascended to the highest peak and accepted the worship of various tribes in the south. Many clan leaders will gather together, everyone is very happy, Zhu Rong on a whim, played the Yellow Emperor's own music - the music of the salty pond, and the Yellow Emperor's concubine and ancestor also stepped on the beat and danced. When everyone saw it, they all jumped around the Yellow Emperor. After dancing happily, the Yellow Emperor told everyone to calm down and said: "Since I took the throne, I have been leveling the elbows, killing the Chiyou, formulating the calendar, inventing writing, creating music and rhythm, compiling medical books, and the ancestors have cultivated silkworms and silkworms, and set the system of clothes. Now that the world is unified, I want to lay the five mountains: Mount Tai in the east, Mount Hua in the west, Mount Heng in the south, Mount Heng in the north, and Mount Song in the middle. From now on, Huo Zheng Zhurong guards Nanyue. When everyone heard this, they all shouted loudly: "Long life without borders!" Longevity without borders! Only then did Zhu Rong know that this was what the Yellow Emperor said about entrusting him with a heavy responsibility.

After the Yellow Emperor left, Zhu Rong was left in Hengshan to officially manage the affairs of the south. He lived on the highest peak of Hengshan Mountain and often visited the people everywhere. When he saw that the people here often ate raw food, he told them to make a fire and teach them to cook it before eating. When he saw that the people were groping in the darkness at night, he told them to use the fire pine. When he saw that there was a lot of miasma and mosquitoes, and that the people were often sick, he told them to light a fire and smoke to drive away the mosquitoes and the miasma. The people respected him very much, and every year after the autumn harvest in August, they came in droves to worship him. Everyone said: "Zhu Rong, we are prosperous, chickens and ducks are flocks, and grains are abundant." You have brought us so many benefits, we thank you, and we will honor you as emperor. You use fire, and the fire is red, so let's call you the Red Emperor! Since then, Zhu Rong has been respected by everyone as the Red Emperor. ”

Just when everyone was living and working in peace and contentment, suddenly lightning and thunder roared, bringing earth-shaking killing cries from the Central Plains. The people were so frightened that they all came to ask Zhu Rong what was going on. Zhu Rong told them: "This is Gonggong and Zhuan Qi fighting for the throne, and there is a fight." They fought for a long time, but they still didn't know whether they won or lost, and they were so angry that they jumped and crashed headlong into Buzhou Mountain. This Buzhou Mountain turned out to be an extraordinary mountain, which held the sky and did not let the sky fall; It ties the earth and does not let it tilt. Gonggong crashed headlong, only to hear a loud "boom", sparks splashed, illuminating the sky for a long time, the pillar supporting the sky was broken, and the rope that tied the earth was also broken. From then on, the sky tilted to the northwest, and the sun, moon and stars all set in the northwest direction. The earth slopes to the southeast, and the water of the rivers and lakes flows in the southeast direction. Originally, the Tianyan of Nanyue Hengshan was about to collapse, and this piece of land was about to be turned over in a flash. One by one, the people hugged the big trees and climbed the rocks, and they were so frightened that they cried. Zhu Rong hurriedly used his whole body skills, and the genius who supported this place like a big pillar did not collapse, and the mountain did not collapse. There was a poet in the Tang Dynasty who wrote about this incident: "The southeast is inferior, and Weiyue is a pillar stone." Before wishing Rongju, on the vermilion bird. Later, another poet also wrote: "The earth is full of peaks, and it supports the South Chutian." Zhu Rong lived to be more than 100 years old on Nanyue Mountain before dying. The people buried him on a peak in Nanyue Mountain, and named this peak Chidi Peak. The highest peak he has lived in has always been called Zhurong Peak. On the top of Zhurong Peak, the people built a Zhurong Hall to commemorate his merits forever.

3. Zhurong and fire attack tactics

Zhurong is the god of fire that has been widely worshiped in our country for a long time. According to Luo Mi's "History of the Road: The Former Chronicle" volume 8, it is said: "Zhu Yu's family, one is called Zhu Rong's...... With fire, the name of the Red Emperor, so the fire officials of later generations thought it was said. "Historical Records of the Chu Family": "Chongli is the emperor and Gao Xin is in the fire, very meritorious, can melt the world, and the emperor is destined to wish Rong." Legend has it that Zhu Rong is not only an expert in managing fire, but also discovered the method of hitting stones to make fire, and also invented the method of fire attack.

Zhu Rong's original name was Li, and legend has it that he was born in a clan society and was the son of a clan leader. Li has been particularly fond of fire since he was a child, and at that time, the Suiren clan had just invented drilling wood to make fire, and people lacked knowledge about the preservation and use of fire. Once, when he was on a long migration with his father, he brought only stones to drill wood for fire, because it was inconvenient to walk with him. At night, everyone was going to use the fire, but Li couldn't get the fire, so he was so angry that he threw the stone to make the fire to the mountain, but the stone fell and splashed a few sparks. The clever Li saw an idea and immediately came up with a new way to make fire. He picked the dried reeds, knocked them against the reeds with two sharp stones, and the sparks splashed on the reeds, and then a light blow made a fire. This is the later method of striking stones to make fire. It is much more labor-saving to hit the stone to make the fire than to drill the wood to make the fire, and there is no need to do everything possible to save the fire, so the Yellow Emperor at that time named him the official of the fire and gave him the name Zhu Rong.

The legend of the fire attack method was also the earliest invention of Zhu Rong. At that time, there was a clan in the south, the leader was called Chiyou, who often invaded the Central Plains, and Zhu Rong was ordered to go to crusade. Chiyou people are numerous and very strong. Zhu Rong ordered his subordinates to each light a torch and a deflagration object, and as soon as Chiyou's people arrived, they set fire everywhere, burning Chiyou's team to the ground, and they were defeated in a hurry. For this reason, the Yellow Emperor rewarded him and ordered him to take charge of the fire in the world and guard Nanshan.

Zhu Rong is an expert in the management of fire, he not only invented new methods of making fire and fire attack methods, but also taught people how to use fire to cook food and eat, how to use fire to heat and light, how to use fire to drive away miasma and mosquitoes, and prevent disease. Zhu Rong has won people's respect with fire. Because the fire was red, people called him the "Red Emperor" and worshipped him every autumn after the year.

In the era of backward science and culture, people's understanding of fire is only superficial, believing that fire is very mysterious and that it is God who dominates fire. Zhurong uses fire for the benefit of people, so later generations respect him as the god of fire, and every year a grand sacrifice is carried out to express people's gratitude and remembrance of Zhurong.

The legend of Zhurong, the god of fire, is mythical, but it reflects a kind of hope of human beings to fight against fire, hoping that the god of fire can bring more light and happiness to people, drive away evil, and eliminate disasters and disasters. However, in order to truly prevent fires and avoid the harm caused by fires to human beings, it is useless to worship the gods and pray to the Buddha, and only rely on science and human wisdom to defeat fires. Human beings have a scientific understanding of fire, and there is no need to pray to the god of fire for protection, but the image of fire blessing for mankind with fire will continue to be passed down as a beautiful legend.

4. Zhurong and the battle of co-workers

All kinds of lighters have been popularized in people's daily life. However, in some remote mountainous areas, farmers still carry with them the fire chain for making fire, because it does not use gasoline and flint, and can be used and taken at any time. Therefore, it has been used for thousands of years. So, who first invented the fire chain?

Legend has it that after the Suiren invented the drill wood to make fire, to the Yellow Emperor period, human beings have begun to use fire to cook food, use fire to keep warm, use fire to drive away poisonous insects and beasts, and use fire to fight. However, at that time, people only knew how to use fire, but did not preserve it, which was very inconvenient for people who lived a nomadic and nomadic life of wandering. They had to carry the fire with them often, and the first thing they did when they went to a place was to use the fire to cook the food, and after the meal they had to keep it carefully.

One year, the Yellow Emperor led the people of the Xia tribe to move from south to north. Suddenly encountered a torrential rain on the way, flash floods, water everywhere, adults and children were watered by the rain like chickens in soup. Zhu Rong was in charge of managing the fire, and the fire he brought with him was also extinguished by the torrential rain. People were cold and hungry, and children were crying and screaming. The Yellow Emperor ordered everyone to stay in a large stone cave for a while, and wait for the weather to clear before leaving. Who knows, God seems to be deliberately against people, and for several days, the rain has been falling non-stop. People live in caves in the mountains, and hunger and cold are unbearable. But because of the loss of fire, it is impossible to make a fire for cooking and heating. The hunger was so hungry that they couldn't support it, so the adults began to eat raw meat, and the elderly and children had to soak mushrooms in cold water to eat. Zhu Rong was very anxious and wanted to use the method of drilling wood to make fire, but the firewood he brought was all wet, and he had not drilled out of the spark after drilling for a long time. Seeing that it was dark, Zhu Rong was so tired that he was sweating profusely, and there was no effect, so in a fit of anger, he threw the drill in his hand hard. Unexpectedly, the drill bit hit the rock of the cave, splashing more sparks. Zhu Rong's heart suddenly changed from worry to joy, he forgot about fatigue, found a lot of rocks, and hit each other hard, only to see the sparks constantly splashing. But how do you make Mars burn? Again, this becomes a conundrum. The Yellow Emperor came over and said to Zhu Rong: "Don't be too anxious, if you can shoot a spark from a stone, this is a great success." What to do next, you need to find more people to discuss together. The Yellow Emperor's encouragement doubled Zhu Rong's confidence. He found Chang Xian, Da Hong, Li Mu, Concubine, and others to find a way together. Everyone, you and I don't stop talking, only Chang Xian is one person who bows down and doesn't say a word. They thought he was hungry and sick and advised him to rest. Unexpectedly, Chang Xian suddenly stood up and said, "There is a way!" As he spoke, he untied his waistline, tore it hard, calmly took out a ball of tidbits, and said to Zhu Rong: You put these reed tidbits under the stones, and then hit the stones to make fire. Zhu Rong laid out the reed tidbits according to his suggestion, and then hit the stone, the sparks splashed more and more, and the sound of igniting the reed tidbits became louder and louder, Zhu Rong blew lightly with his mouth, and the flames burst out with a thick smoke. The fire was successful! With fire, people have hope of survival. The adults and children in the cave all cheered and jumped. The Yellow Emperor held a celebration party for Zhu Rong, recorded a great merit for him, and named him "Huozheng" (the official position Zhu Rong invented "striking stones to make fire", so that people no longer worry about preserving fire, which greatly facilitates the production and life of human beings. Because the fire is red, later generations called Zhurong "Red Emperor".

Because Zhu Rong taught human beings to use fire, people worship Zhu Rong very much, but the water god Gonggong can't see it, thinking that everything in the world is inseparable from water, why do human beings only worship Zhu Rong, but not themselves, the more they think about it, the more angry they are. So the water from the four lakes and five seas rushed to Kunlun Mountain, extinguishing the holy fire on Kunlun Mountain, and suddenly the whole world was pitch black. Zhu Rong was very angry when he learned that he rode the fire dragon and fought with the Gonggong, the water finally flowed down, and the flood fell down from Kunlun Mountain, and Zhu Rong took the opportunity to attack and burned the Gonggong to the ground. Gonggong lost badly, and crashed into Buzhou Mountain in a fit of anger, who knew that Buzhou Mountain was a pillar of heaven, and the pillar of heaven was broken, and the sky also collapsed, bringing disaster to all things in the world, so it attracted the story of Nuwa mending the sky. In today's terms, this can be said to be a prequel to Nuwa's mending the sky.

Another theory is that after Fu Xi's death, the Gonggong was in turmoil, and the Yellow Emperor sent Zhu Rong to quell the rebellion, although he defeated the Gonggong, but did not kill all the members of the Gonggong clan, and the Yellow Emperor killed Zhu Rong. Later, his younger brother Wu Hui served as the official of Huozheng, and he was still called Zhu Rong. "Southern Zhurong, beast body and human face, riding two dragons." It can be seen that he is not a "perfect person", Guo Ya commented "Vulcan also". In "Zuo Chuan: The Twenty-ninth Year of Zhaogong", it is said: "Huo Zheng is called Zhu Rong", Huo Zheng is the official in charge of fire, and the mythical fire god Zhu Rong has gradually evolved into the official position of Si Huo in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The book "Hanshu Five Elements Zhi I" says: "The ancient fire is positive, and it is called the fire official, who is in charge of sacrificing Mars and practicing fire politics." "Because Zhu Rong is the god of fire, his power has also been applied to the war between the two armies. "Mozi Fei Conquered" records as follows: "(Chengtang Vaxia), the Mandate of Heaven Rong (Zhurong) Long (Descending) Fire Dry Li Xia City's leisure, the northwest corner. "This may be the first time that fire warfare has been used in warfare. Zhu Rong has a younger brother named Wu Hui, also known as Hui Lu, who is also a lawsuit "Huozheng". It's just that the reputation is not as big as Zhurong, and it is not without basis that people call the fire "Zhurong's trouble". Thus, there is the origin of using Zhurong instead of the word fire. When the Yellow Emperor had a fire official, named Zhu Rong, his name was Li when he was a child, and he was the son of a clan leader. At that time, the tunnel people invented drilling wood to make fire, and it was not possible to save and use fire. But Li especially likes to be close to fire. So when I was a teenager, I became an expert in managing fire. When the fire reaches his hands, as long as it is not transmitted over long distances, it can be preserved for a long time. Lai would use fire to cook vegetables, cook rice, use fire to keep warm, light up, drive away wild beasts, and drive away mosquitoes. These skills were remarkable at that time. Therefore, everyone respects him very much. Once, when Li's father took the entire clan on a long migration, Li saw that it was inconvenient to walk with the fire, so he only brought the sharp stones used to drill wood for the fire with him.

Once, as soon as everyone settled down, Li took out a sharp stone, found a large barrel of wood, and sat in front of a stone mountain to "snort" and drill into a fire. Drilling, drilling, drilling for three whole hours, and there was no smoke yet, Li was very angry, he was panting in his mouth, very unhappy. But he couldn't do it without fire, so he had to drill again. Drilling, drilling, He was so angry that he stood up with a black and red face, and smashed the sharp stone into the stone mountain. Unexpectedly, the sharp stones that had been drilled very hot hit the stone mountain, and several dazzling sparks appeared with a "click". The clever Li saw it and quickly came up with a new way to make fire. He picked some sun-dried reeds, and knocked them a few times with two sharp stones against the reeds, and the sparks splashed on the reeds, and they "squeaked" and smoked. Blow softly, and the flames will go up.

Since Li discovered the method of making fire from stones, there is no longer a need to spend a lot of effort to drill wood to make fire, and there is no need to do everything possible to preserve the fire. The Yellow Emperor of the Central Plains knew that Li had such a great merit, so he invited him to go and made him a fire official specializing in fire management. The Yellow Emperor valued him very much, and said: "Li, I'll give you a big name, just call Zhu Rong, Zhu is forever, Rong is light, may you always bring light to the world." Li was very happy to hear this, and quickly kowtowed to thank him. Since then, everyone has changed their name to Zhurong.
