In ancient times, serious droughts occurred on the earth. The heat scorched the forest, dried the earth, and dried the grass and seedlings. Originally, Emperor Jun and Xi gave birth to 10 children who were the sun.
They lived overseas in the East. There was a big tree named Fusang in the sea water. Ten suns sleep beneath the branches and take turns running out in the sky to shine on the earth.
But sometimes they come out together and bring disaster to mankind. In order to save mankind, Hou Yi bowed and arrowed, shooting at the nine suns. See the sky burst fireballs, fell a three-legged crow. Finally, there is only one sun left in the sky.
Long long ago,there were ten suns.Each day,one of them set out on his jouney across the sky,but one day all ten suns set out together.As a result,the world was being destroyed by heat until Yi was sent to save the world.
Yi closed his eyes for some seconds because of the burning sunlight.Then he placed an arrow against the bow-string anddrew it to the full.Then he let go his arrow.A golden crow,one of the ten suns,was killed and fell down.
Still the earth was burning .Nine suns remained.The watchers were still blind with the pain of the heat.Yi loaded,drew and let go.When the ninth fell from the sky,Yi was told that the world needed one sun to give its warmth and light.Thus,the sky became clear and blue again.Since then,the only sun rises in the morning on his journey across the sky every day
