There is a severe drought because there is no rain, and there is no rain because the sun is too strong and the clouds cannot gather.The sun was too strong because there was not only one sun, but ten suns.Regardless of whether the ten suns are like brothers, hanging high in the sky together, or fighting with one another, the conclusion is the same. From the records in the book, it can be seen that Mr. Hou Yi is the greatest sharpshooter in the history of mankind, when ten suns roasted the world almost into a ball of coals. "Scorched grains, killing grass and trees, but the people have nothing to eat." When the famine had already formed, Mr. Hou Yi was ordered to kill nine (this story has been handed down until the 1920s, when there was a long drought and no rain. , the sun rises every day, and some local officers are furious, and even bombard it with cannons, hoping that it will be frightened and hide at home for a day or two, so that the Sea Dragon King can show his face and rain some rain).Mr. Hou Yi lived up to the task entrusted to him, and he really shot nine of them.Every time he hit an arrow, a sun would die of anger, and would fall down with a sudden thud, and when he ran closer, he turned into a crow.Nine suns became nine crows, of course nine dead crows.

——Readers, please pay attention to Mr. Hou Yi. He is not the same person as Mr. Hou Yi, the sixth king of the Xia Dynasty in the 20th century BC three hundred years later.But their marksmanship martial arts are exactly the same. ——In Chinese literature, the sun is called "Golden Crow", which originated from this. "Gold" is just an adjective, describing the nobility of the sun. The second great tribulation is the flood.The date of the drought is not stated in the history books; the floods began in 2297 BC.In comparison, the drought-affected area is large and the flood-affected area is small.However, the territory of China during the Yellow Emperor's reign was only one percent of the modern territory. Small, so there is a vast ocean everywhere.

——Later, as China’s territory continued to expand, so did the meaning of “the whole country.” During the Yellow Emperor’s reign, the distance from the capital to the southern border was only 200 kilometers, while during the Qing Dynasty, the distance from the capital to the southern border was 2,000 kilometers.In the era of Mr. Yi Fangxun, the national flood of 100,000 square kilometers became a national flood of 10 million square kilometers without thinking about it for a while, and with a stroke of a pen.
