Life of the characters
Myths and legends
Xing Tian was a nameless giant. In the war with the Yellow Emperor, he was beheaded by the Yellow Emperor, which is called Xing Tian. Heaven, bump also, bump is a person's forehead; Punisher, kill also, cut, mow meaning.
When Emperor Yan was still in charge of the world, Xing Tian was a minister under Emperor Yan. He loved songs very much in his life. He composed music "Fu Li" and poem "Feng Shou" for Emperor Yan, with the general name of "Bu Mou" to praise the happy life of the people at that time.
Later, Yandi was defeated by Huangdi in the battle of Hanquan, but his son and his men were not convinced. When Chiyou raised his army against the Yellow Emperor, Xing Tian wanted to fight against the Yellow Emperor, but he didn't succeed because of Yan's resolute prevention. Chiyou and the Yellow Emperor were defeated in the first World War. Chiyou was killed. Xingtian could no longer restrain his anger, so he secretly left the southern Tianting and went straight to the central Tianting to compete with the Yellow Emperor.
Xing Tian, holding a bronze shield in his left hand and a big axe in his right hand, went to the palace of the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor saw that Xing Tiansha was coming. He was very angry and took up his sword to fight with Xing Tiansha. Two people from the palace to the palace, from heaven to earth, straight to Changyang mountain.
The Yellow Emperor is experienced and experienced. Taking advantage of Xingtian's lack of defense, he slashed Xingtian's neck with his sword. Xingtian's Parry was not enough, and his head was cut down. The head of Xingtian who fell to the ground rolled down the slope to the foot of Changyang mountain. Xingtian, who was decapitated, squatted down to find his head. Because of losing his eyes, he didn't see his head at the foot of Changyang mountain where he was.
The Yellow Emperor worried that Xingtian would return to his original body after finding his head and fight with him again, so he took up his sword and cleaved to Changyang mountain. With a loud noise, Changyang mountain was cut in half, and Xingtian's huge head was rolling into the valley. Later, the two mountains merged into one, burying Xing Tian's head in it.
Xingtian felt the changes around him and knew that the Yellow Emperor had buried his head in the mountainside, but he was not discouraged. He stood up, still with an axe in his right hand and a shield in his left, waving wildly around the sky. In the dark abyss of Xingtian fury, with two nipples as eyes, open navel as mouth, continue to fight with the Yellow Emperor.
Although Xingtian failed, his spirit of never compromising always inspires future generations. Tao Yuanming, a great poet of the Jin Dynasty, praised the spirit of Xingtian in his poems. In the poem, he said, "Xingtian dances with Ganqi, and his ambition is always strong."

Xingtian is Xingtian. Xingtian and the Yellow Emperor fought for the throne here. The Yellow Emperor cut off his head and buried him in Changyang mountain. Xing Tian used two breasts as his eyes and his navel as his mouth to dance.
Comments: ever since then, Changyang mountain has been overcast with clouds. The blue sky never opens, and the thunder reverberates in the valley from time to time. It is said that it was the defeated hero Xingtian, who was always fighting against the enemy with his arms waving.
Song Xingkai's Tan Zhai Tong Bian quoted Duan Chengshi's Za Zu: "there are beasts in Tianshan Mountain, which are named Xing Tian. When the Yellow Emperor fought with the emperor for God, he cut off his head and said, "I take milk as my eye and navel as my mouth." I can't stop dancing. "
Poetry records

Jingwei holds the title of Weimu, which will fill the sea. Xingtian dance Ganqi, Meng Zhigu often.
The same thing has no worries, and no regrets. Only in the past heart, good time to wait!
Textual research on origin and development
According to the oracle bone inscriptions and inscriptions on gold, Xingtian is a human symbol and a symbol totem of the clan. Xingtian might have been a nameless deity of the Chinese people, but it was called "Xingtian" only after its head was cut off. In the original records of Shanhaijing, it is called "Xingtian", and the name of "Xingtian" is believed to have been changed by Tao Yuanming. According to Tao Jingjie's collection of Shanhaijing poems quoted in Taiping Yulan, "Xingtian" means "the body is young and disabled", but it may be miscopied and there are two theories of "Xingtian wuganqi" and "Xingyao has no thousand years old". After the completion of Tao Qian's poem, the word "Xing Tian Wu Gan Qi" has two theories: "Xing Tian Wu Gan Qi" and "Xingyao Wuqian Wuqian qiansui" because of the wrong copy.
In the sixth year of Xuanhe in the Northern Song Dynasty, Zeng Dan wrote a postscript to Tao Jing Jie Ji and put forward his opinion: Yuanming's poems on Shan Hai Jing had the sentence that "the shape is young, but the ambition is inherent", but he didn't know his meaning. Later, he read Shan Hai Jing, which said: "punishing heaven, the name of beast, it's good to dance with the title of Gan Qi." I know that all five words are wrong. Xingyao is Xingtian, wuqiansui is wuganqi, which is in accordance with the following sentence.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhou Bida (1126-1204) put forward a Refutation in Er Lao Tang Shi Hua. He thinks: Yu said that the solid good, but Jingjie this topic 13, probably refers to one thing. If Kuafu is recorded at the beginning of the first chapter, this chapter is afraid to say that Jingwei's Wooden reclamation will not last for a thousand years, but his ambition will always be there and he will never regret it. If they refer to the heaven of punishment, they do not seem to continue each other. At the end of Kuang's sentence, he said, "I set my mind in the past, and I can wait in the morning." Why do you want to be so fierce? In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, Tao Shu (1779-1839) reprinted the collection of Tao Jingjie. He inclined to Zeng Shu's saying: since the cloud is dead, why is it that there is no thousand years old? Young and thousand years old, how can it be like Peng Shang?
