Chapter 21 postscript

Regarding the battle between Huangdi and Chiyou, the records handed down are very vague. It is said that Huangdi won seven battles and seven victories in the war with Emperor Yan.Seeing that the righteous Huangdi was about to lose to the ferocious Chiyou, he miraculously turned defeat into victory by relying on his own daughter in the end. For some unknown reason, the celestial maiden became a ferocious drought demon and could no longer return to the gods. Tsing Yi, the name of the Yellow Emperor's concubine. Chiyou sent troops to attack the Yellow Emperor, and the Yellow Emperor ordered Yinglong to attack the wilderness of Jizhou. Yinglong stored water, and Chiyou asked Feng Bo and the Master of Rain to control the heavy wind and rain. Stopped, then killed Chiyou. The concubine could not go back, and there was no rain in the house. Uncle Jun said that the emperor would go northward with Chishui." ("Shan Hai Jing. Da Huang Bei Jing")

Regarding the daughter of Emperor Yan Shennong, it is said that there is a kind of mulberry tree in Xuanshan, because the daughter of Emperor Yan added flames to this mulberry tree, followed the rain master Chisongzi, and ascended to heaven, so she was called the emperor mulberry. Fifty-five miles away, it's called Xuanshan Mountain....There is a mulberry tree on it, fifty feet in size, with four branches and more than a foot in leaves. Chili, Huanghua, and Qingtian are called the emperor's mulberry." ("Shan Hai Jing. Zhong Shan Jing")
