According to legend, Zhu Rong is a descendant of Emperor Yan. Zhu Rong's image is very peculiar. Although he has a human face, it is the body of a beast. He was born to be able to use fire at will, which ordinary people couldn't. In this way, Zhu Rong was honored by people and became the god of fire. When Zhu Rong traveled, he rode two dragons.
He was also known as regent of the southern quadrant of Heaven. He helped to divide heaven and earth from each other. Zhu Rong executed Gun after he stole heavenly soil and tried to stop a great flood.
One story tells how Zhu Rong and Gong Gong were jealous and began to wrestle and fight with each other in heaven, to determine who was the more powerful. Falling out of heaven, Zhu Rong managed to defeat Gong Gong, who was so ashamed that he tried to kill himself by running into a mountain, BUZHOU, but he only managed to cause a massive flood.
