In ancient times, Emperor Yan was the Heavenly Emperor who commanded thousands of tribes, and Xingtian was a talented and important minister under his command. Xingtian had an unparalleled love for music. He once composed the melodious music “Helping the Plow” and the affectionate poem “Harvest” for Emperor Yan to celebrate the peaceful life of the people. This series of works is collectively known as “Bu Mou”, conveying the happiness and harmony of that era.
However, with the changes in the world, the Yan Emperor’s regime was replaced by the Yellow Emperor. Yan Emperor retreated to the south, and although he could not bear it, many of his people and generals were unwilling in their hearts. When Chiyou rose up to challenge the authority of the Yellow Emperor, Xingtian’s heart boiled with desire to participate in the war, but he was unable to do so due to Emperor Yan’s resolute dissuasion. The Battle of Chiyou ended in failure, with Chiyou’s death, which completely aroused the anger of Xingtian. He resolutely deviated from the Southern Heavenly Court and headed straight to the Central Heavenly Court, vowing to confront the Yellow Emperor.
Xingtian was fully armed, with his left hand tightly gripping a bronze square shield and his right hand holding up a shining giant axe called “Qi”. He was invincible, breaking through numerous heavenly barriers and approaching the palace of the Yellow Emperor. At that time, Huangdi and his courtiers were immersed in the graceful singing and dancing of fairies when they suddenly saw Xingtian holding a “Gan Qi” and killing him. They were furious and immediately drew their swords to confront him. A earth shattering showdown unfolded, from the magnificent palace to the desolate human world, and finally to the foothills of Changyang Mountain.
Huangdi, with his rich combat experience, seized the opportunity and swung his sword towards Xingtian’s neck. Xingtian couldn’t dodge and fell to the ground with his head, rolling down the slope towards the foot of Changyang Mountain. Xingtian, who had lost his head, did not give up. He crouched down and tried to retrieve his own head. Unfortunately, in the darkness, he failed to realize that his head was within reach. Huangdi was well aware that if Xingtian were to retrieve his head, he would fear another disaster. Therefore, he swung his sword and struck Changyang Mountain, causing the mountain to burst open and Xingtian’s head to fall into the valley. Then, the two halves of the mountain quickly closed together, permanently sealing Xingtian’s head.
Faced with this sudden change, although Xing Tian was in darkness and despair, he never gave in. He stood upright, still holding an axe in his right hand and a shield in his left hand, with his breasts as his eyes and his belly button as his mouth, continuing to silently roar towards the sky, engaging in an indomitable spiritual struggle with the Yellow Emperor.
