- Description:
It is said that there were ten suns in the sky during the reign of Emperor Yao, and even the earth was dry. Hou Yi, the god archer, shot down nine suns, and the heaven and earth recovered their vitality. At the same time, he won the favor of Chang’e, the daughter of Emperor Ku, and married him. Later, Hou Yi obtained the elixir of immortality from the Queen Mother of the West. After Chang’e stole the elixir, she flew to the Moon Palace involuntarily and lived in the desolate and indifferent Guanghan Palace, leaving future generations of poets and painters unlimited space for imagination in creation. Tang Yin (1470-1523 AD) was born in Wuxian County, Jiangsu Province, with the character of Bohu and the number of Liuru. He was a talented person in Jiangnan in the Ming Dynasty with talent, intelligence and unrestrained personality.
