Hou Yi
Hou Yi, whose original name is Yi, is a figure in ancient Chinese myths and legends. He is good at archery. He once helped Emperor Yao shoot down nine people, leaving only one. Therefore, there is an allusion among the people that "Hou Yi shoots the sun". He is a courtier of Emperor Jun, the Sun God, and the husband of Fairy Chang'e. In order to become an immortal, he obtained the elixir of immortality from the Queen Mother of the West, but his wife Chang'e stole it and flew to the moon.
He also eradicated the six evils of the world, including the six-pest dogfish, Chisel Teeth, Jiu Ying, Dafeng, Feng Xi, and Xiu Snake. He also defeated the Yellow River Shui Bo who was causing trouble and rescued Mi Fei Luo Shen. In the end, he was assassinated by his disciple Peng Meng with a peach wood stick and was later named Zongbu God, the King of Ghosts by Emperor Jun.
According to the "Book of Mountains and Seas", Hou Yi was a mighty archer holding a red divine bow and white feather arrows. There are three forms of human beings, gods and ghosts. They are half-gods and half-humans during their lifetime, and become half-ghosts and half-gods after death. Some Han paintings depict Houyi, the god of Zongbu, as a tall and majestic bow-wielding man.
"Huainanzi" and "Ancient Mythology" both mentioned that Hou Yi had a longer left arm, so he was excellent at shooting. The accompanying picture in "Li Sao Tu" depicts Hou Yi as an archer wearing a long robe and a leopard skirt.
The real prototype is the king of the Xia Dynasty. In history, the real Yi was revered as a mythical figure because of his superior archery skills and powerful strength, that is, the sun-shooting hero in myths and legends. Later, Yi shot the sun. Gradually, he was called Hou Yi and was recorded in the annals of history. He was enshrined in the Hou Yi Temple.
Note: The so-called "Da Yi" is just a legend on the Internet, which is purely a rumor fabricated by modern people. "Da Yi" was originally a name created by the mythology expert "Yuan Ke".
The name "Dayi" does not appear in any ancient books. Ancient records often use "Yi" or "Houyi" as the name of the mythical figure, but "Dayi" does not appear. The name "Hou Yi" was established much earlier than "Da Yi" and has been widely adopted in modern times.
