What does Xingtian mean?

Xing Tian, who also wrote Metaphysics, is another way of saying "decapitation". In fact, Xingtian is an unknown god in ancient China mythology. Legend has it that he is a minister under Emperor Yan. According to the western classic Shan Hai Jing, when the Yellow Emperor replaced Yan Di to win the world because of his profound virtue, Xingtian came to the Yellow Emperor with an axe and decided to compete with him.

The Yellow Emperor and Xingtian fought in a place, and finally the Yellow Emperor cut off Xingtian's head, and the town was at the foot of Changyang Mountain. Not convinced, Xingtian took her breasts as her eyes, her navel as her mouth, and continued to dance with a shield and axe in her hand. Because he has no head, people call him "Xingtian", which means "physically disabled".
