Excerpts from the Manuscripts of Ancient Myths and Stories in China;

1, "Jingwei Reclaiming the Sea" is a fairy tale that the ancients praised their good wishes and perseverance.

According to legend, Yan Di's youngest daughter, the sun god, went to the East China Sea to play and fell into the sea and drowned. After her death, her soul became a bird, called "Jingwei", with a flower head, a white mouth and red feet, lively and lovely. She was destroyed by the wave of sadness and hatred. She thought that other people might also take away her young life, so she kept taking branches and stones from the western hills and throwing them into the sea. She kept flying between the Western Hills and the East China Sea.

Jingwei's perseverance, beautiful wishes and grand ambitions are all respected by people. Tao Yuanming, a poet in the Jin Dynasty, wrote in his poem: "Jingwei holds Xiao Mu and will fill the sea." He warmly praised the solemn and stirring fighting spirit of Jingwei Bird who dared to fight against the sea. Later generations often use "jingwei reclamation" as a metaphor for the arduous cause of people with lofty ideals and benevolence.

2. Fuxi invented gossip.

It is said that Fuxi's mother is Hua Xushi, who lives in the far northwest. Once, she happened to see the footprints of a huge follower on the edge of the swamp. She thought it was strange, so she tried it with her own feet. Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped on it, she suddenly had a strange feeling. Later, she became pregnant and gave birth to Fuxi. Fuxi has a human head and a snake body. He has great power since he was a child and can go up and down freely along the towering trees. When he grew up, he became the emperor of the East.

Fuxi was a wise emperor and a great cultural ancestor. He knows astronomy above and geography below, and is familiar with the natural laws of everything on earth. He invented the Eight Diagrams. The symbols (stem) represent the sky, (Kun) the earth, (Kan) the water, (Li) the fire, (Gen) the mountain, (earthquake) the thunder, (Xun) the wind and (exchange) the ze. Fuxi taught people to record everything with these symbols. He also imitated spiders, woven ropes into webs and asked people to fish and hunt.
