Chiyou is a figure in ancient China mythology. He once had a big battle with the Yellow Emperor in the land of Zhuolu, and finally Chiyou was defeated and he was beheaded.

Since then, in the mainstream culture of China, Chiyou has been described as a traitor and a thief. But there are actually some different voices. The Miao people regard Chiyou as their ancestor.

In their minds, Chiyou is an indomitable hero and a pioneer of Miao civilization. Starting today, I will introduce the legend of Chiyou, which is circulated among Miao people.

Long, long ago, Miao people lived by the Yellow River. They are divided into eighteen stockaded villages, so they are called Awu Chaidog Village, and Chiyou is a member of Awu Chaidog Village.

When Chiyou was nine years old, I heard that there was a mountain called Eight Mangs and Eight Maos in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and a tall man lived on it. So Chiyou left his hometown alone and went to Bamang Maoshan to learn from his teacher.

Chiyou has been gone for nine years, and I have successfully learned all kinds of knowledge from my teacher, such as Wen Tao's martial arts, medical skills and methods of becoming an immortal. At the age of eighteen, Chi You finished his studies and planned to return to his hometown.

Before leaving, Chiyou's teacher told Chiyou to serve the Miao people with the knowledge he had learned, and presented Chiyou with a bronze sword. He also told Chiyou that 30 days later, he would send two divine birds named Huiniao to help him.

On the way home, Chiyou met two people, who were also Miao people who went out to study arts, so Chiyou and them became half-brothers. Chiyou is the youngest, ranking third.

After a long journey, the three Chiyou finally returned to their hometown where they missed each other. However, what is presented to them is a desolate scene, dilapidated houses, empty stockyards and overgrown farmland. Three Chiyou people searched Shiba Zu Village from the inside out, and finally found three sisters in a cowhide drum.
