The  Lord of Eastern Heaven Fuxi , with Goumang the god of wood as his  assistant, was in charge of the spring; the Southern, Yandi, with  Zhurong the god of fire, the summer; the Western, Shao Hao, with Rushou  the god of gold, the autumn; the Northern, Zhuanxu, with Xuanming the  god of water, the winter. Taking up residence in the central heaven,  Huangdi, with his assistant Hou Tu the god of earth, was in charge of  all four seasons and all the directions. Legend goes that Huangdi had  four faces so that he could see the four directions at the same time. No  matter what happened, no matter where it did, nothing escaped his eyes.  As the supreme ruler of the kingdom of gods, he had everyone under his  rule. Huangdi reigned in an impartial and rigorous way.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, once Gu, son of Candle Dragon the god of mountain,  conspired with another god and killed a god named Bao Jiang. Upon  hearing that Huangdi flew into a rage. Gu&#8217;s father Candle Dragon was a  god whose seniority could be compared with Pan Gu. His eyes opened, day  emerged; his eyes shut, night came. Given a puff of him, winter arrived;  given another, summer took the place of winter. Taking no food, drink,  or rest, Candle Dragon was always holding the candle in his month to  light up dark Nine Springs the nether world, for which reason people  showed great respect for him. However, even it was Candle Dragon&#8217;s son  that broke the law, Huangdi still handled the matter impartially. He had  Gu and his accomplice arrested and sentenced them to death, avenging  Bao Jiang.<\/p>\n<p>Another time, an evil official named Wei subordinate to the  human-faced, snake-bodied god Erfu, instigated his lord into killing  another human-faced, snake-bodied god. Huangdi got the criminal arrested  immediately he learned the fact. Being tied to a big tree on the  mountain, the official was left there for thousands of years. As for the  innocent god who had been murdered, Huangdi sent some powerful  sorceress with magic medicine that brought him beck to life.<\/p>\n<p>Huangdi wee not only the ruler of the deities but also of the ghosts.  His assistant, the god of earth Hou Tu, was the king of the ghosts&#8217;  world. Huangdi also owned a divine beast named Baize, which was so smart  that it knew everything ab0ut everybody, be it human, ghost or deity.  Since it knew well ab0ut all the ghosts and monsters in the ghosts&#8217;  world, It was convenient for Huangdi to handle matters concerning them  with Baize&#8217;s help.<\/p>\n<p>Some of Huangdi&#8217;s descendants were gods,while some belonged to human  minorities on the earth.For instance,the gods of sea in charge of the  East Sea and North Sea,were son and grandson of Huangdi  respectively;Gun,who stole Xirang from heaven to regulate flood for the  masses,was grandson of Huangdi&#8217;s brother;Zhuanxu,the Lord of Northern  Heaven,was greatgrandson of Huangdi&hellip;As for Quanrong,Beidi,Miao tribe and  Mao tribe,they were also descendants of Huangdi.Since Huangdi is the  ancestor of both mortals and immortals,he is taken as the greatest god  in the legend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"chine-tie-zi-nei-rong-zhi-hou\" id=\"chine-107510666\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1889418300638825\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1889418300638825\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7273022922\" \ndata-ad-layout-key=\"-gw-3+1f-3d+2z\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Huangdi was the Lord of Central Heaven; the four  directions of heaven were in the charge of other lordi respectively.
