During the Fuxi period, Gonggong was a water god in the sky. He has a copper human head with an iron forehead, red hair, and the body of a serpent, or sometimes the head and torso are human, with the tail of a serpent and a very violent temperament. He is more than ten feet tall and powerful. There are two notorious deities under Gonggong: one is Xiangliu with nine heads. He had body of snake with nine heads, a blue body, with a cruel personality, greed, specializing in killing people for pleasure; the other is a cruel, evil spirit Fuyou, who is said to be able to see through people's hearts and thus confuse people.
Gonggong is a bad water god, with a fierce temperament, lawless and an arrogant attitude. He often displays its supernatural powers on a whim, calling on the wind and calling for rain, harming the people of the world with floods, and turning a good land into a vast ocean. The people cried and screamed, suffering the sun and the moon.
Although Gonggong is described by many legends as "brutal and evil," he is always respected by people because of his supernatural power and his close connection with the life of the early people
