  • nChìyóu 蚩尤 was said to be a descendant of >Emperor Yan of the Shang 商炎帝 . His surname was Jiang 姜. He counted as the most luan 亂 “unruly” of the nobles of his time. On the other hand he is said to have been the first to have used metal in order to produce weapons. [GUAN 77] A mythical warrior, originally also said to have been a supporter of the Yellow Emperor, he nonetheless defeated and killed by the Yellow Emperor in the battle of Zhuo Lu 涿鹿. [SJ 1.4 etc.]  A military classic is attributed to him in the bibliography of HS, but this has long been lost. According to the old commentary to the LSCQ 7.1, Chiyou was legendary leader of the 九黎 “Nine Tribes” of the East. LSCQ 7.2 explicitly rejects reports that he was the inventor of metal weaponry 人曰「蚩尤作兵」，蚩尤非作兵也. [SHU 25; SJ 1.3ff, and 28; ZHUANG 29; DDLJ 33] See Birrell, Mythology p. 296

  • NPprChì Sōng 赤松 (legendary, no dates) also called 赤松子, in HNZ 9 赤誦子, is a widely acclaimed immortal, traditionally identified with the deity Master of Rain 雨師. Xu Shen’s commentary on HNZ 12 reports that he left for the mountains because he fell ill, and that he practised the art of levitation. He is said to have lived during the time of the Divine Husbandman >Shen Nong 神農. CC praises him as having purified himself of the dust of this world. (tr. Hawkes p. 194). In CC 11.1 and 14.1 he is mentioned, as often elsewhere, together with >Wang Qiao 王喬. HSWZ 5.27 has him as the teacher of >Emperor Ku 帝嚳. He is said to be in charge of rainfall and also a specialist in respiratory techniques. In Liexianzhuan 列仙傳 [ed. Kaltenmark 1987, 35, ed. Wang Shumin p. 1] he is celebrated in the opening entry as being able to walk through fire and as frequenting Xiwangmu 西王母 . The youngest daughter of Emperor Yan of the Shang 商炎帝 is said to have pursued him amorously and to have achieved immortality that way. [HNZ 11.13b and 20.10a, BHT 15, tr. Tjan p. 483]CH
