Hehuai is a recorded legend. He said: "When the sun rose on the first day 10, crops were burned and grass was killed, but people had nothing to eat. When the sun shines on them for ten days, everyone is happy and Yao is regarded as the son of heaven. " During the ancient Yao Dynasty, there were ten suns in the world.

These ten suns are hanging in the sky day and night, and there are no crops or grass in the field. What is even more frightening is that the sun is so hot that all the water in the river has evaporated, and all the rivers are doomed to dry up. People have no water to drink and no food to fill their stomachs, and many people starve to death. After learning about the sufferings of the people, Emperor Tiandi asked Houyi, a sharpshooter, to help Yao shoot the sun. Hou Yi immediately rushed to the world without stopping, and was very sad to see the earth turned into scorched earth. Immediately, prepare to leave for the East China Sea. According to Shan Hai Jing, all kinds of wild animals came to the world one after another. They haunt fields and forests everywhere, causing more disasters. Hou Yi met many wild animals on his way to the East China Sea. For example, there are wild animals such as jade, chisel, nine babies, strong wind, wind and snake repair. Very aggressive, moody and destructive. On the way, Hou Yi tried his best to kill these beasts. After many hardships, Hou Yi finally came to the coast of the East China Sea. He took out his bow and arrow and shot at the sun in the sky, one by one. Let Yao Houyi have a grandson to facilitate people's production and life. Later, Hou Yi shot down nine suns, leaving only one sun to illuminate the world.
Sunny Houyi is located in Sanyi Mountain, Tunliu County, Changzhi City, Shanxi Province, and later renamed Laoye Mountain. The local people built a temple to worship Hou Yi, calling him a god.

Houyi Killing Bashou was first published in Huainanzi. It is recorded that "Bashu eats elephants and gives birth to bones at the age of three. Gentleman takes it, no heart disease. Its snakes are green, red and black. A blue black snake is to the west of the rhinoceros. " According to legend, there was a Babu couple in ancient times who were pregnant with twins after ten years of marriage. Babao named their two sons Ba Python and Ba Snake. Barman is gentle and diligent. Ba snake and Ba Mang are completely opposite in character. Bashu likes to eat meat. He is lazy all day and has a bad temper. When Ba Python and Ba Snake were ten years old, Dad Ba had a dream. In the dream, he said that Ba Python and Ba Snake were two giant snakes, which frightened Dad Ba. Later, this dream was verified, and Baba was deeply hit and died. Yagi saw Baba's father died and went with her husband. Only pythons and snakes live together, and snakes are getting lazy. The python didn't like the way the snake idled around, so the two became estranged, and then the contradiction became more and more fierce and they fought each other. Suddenly a flash of lightning split off, and the python and snake showed their true colors. The python turned into a glittering snake and swam to the East China Sea. Bashu snake turned into a giant snake and swam to Dongting Lake. Bashu did evil in Dongting Lake, eating and killing many animals.

Houyi was a real Houyi, who lived in Xia Dynasty. There is no relevant record about Hou Yi's birth data. Neither Houyi nor Houyi has detailed birth data, let alone the speculation of the zodiac. It is worth mentioning that the zodiac signs correspond to twelve kinds of animals, which was first put forward in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He mentioned the commemorative method of the zodiac in Shan Hai Jing, so the word zodiac came into being in the Eastern Han Dynasty. However, some people say that the year of the zodiac began in the Xia Dynasty and spread in the Shang Dynasty. The story is easy to appear in the Yao period, and there is no year of the zodiac. It is recorded in the book that the times are divided into twelve branches. If we want to infer the zodiac of Houyi, we need to know the birth date of Houyi. According to records, Hou Yi lived in early summer, and did not record his specific personal information in detail. Houyi lived in the Taikang period of Xia Dynasty and was the leader of a tribe in the Yellow River valley. This is all the information of Hou Yi.
