Fuxi(伏羲)

Fuxi or Fu Hsi (Chinese: 伏羲) is a culture hero in Chinese mythology who, along with his sister and wife Nüwa, is credited with creating humanity and inventing music, hunting, fishing, animal domestication, and cooking. He is also associated with developing the Cangjie system for writing Chinese characters around 2900 BC or 2000 BC.

Fuxi is regarded as the first mythical emperor of China and has been portrayed as "a divine being with a serpent's body" who was born through miraculous means. He is considered a Taoist deity and sometimes included among the Three Sovereigns who ruled at the beginning of the Chinese dynastic period.

Various artistic representations depict Fuxi with snake-like features, as "a leaf-wreathed head growing out of a mountain," or "as a man clothed with animal skins."
