In ancient times, there were many fish in rivers, lakes and seas, many birds in the sky and many animals on the ground, which people could not catch. People are waiting by the water with tree trunks in their hands. When they watched the fish swim, they bumped into a stick. Only in this way can they catch a few fish occasionally.

Fuxi dried wild hemp, twisted it into rope, and then woven it into a net with thinner rope to teach people to fish. Weave nets with thicker ropes and teach people to catch birds and animals. This is much better than just eating wild fruits from trees, but raw fish and birds are not delicious. Seriously, some of them can't do well and even make their stomachs uncomfortable.

When Fuxi brought skyfire, he taught people to burn birds and fish with torches. From then on, people ate delicious barbecue and became healthier. In memory of Fuxi, people called him "Yong xi", that is, "the first person who cooked animal meat with fire".
