1. The Story of the Fire Emperor

In ancient times, there was a child named the Fire Emperor. His father is a hunter, especially good at hunting pigs. One day, the fire emperor's parents went hunting in the mountains and left him at home. He banged a few stones to play, and the sparks ignited the thatch and caused a fire.

when the fire burned itself to ashes, not only the thatched cottage disappeared, but also the pigsty was burned down and the piglets were burned to death. But at this time, a fragrance floated into the nose of the little fire emperor who survived. This smell, which he had never experienced before, made him forget his panic. The fire emperor followed the scent and found the piglet with burnt skin and cooked meat. The attractive color and the delicious aroma made him go forward ...

When his parents came back from hunting, they saw the thatched cottage and pig shed that were reduced to ashes, and they were about to get angry and blame him, but they saw the fire emperor show them a special dinner: a roast suckling pig with a bright brown color and a fragrant smell.

the discovery and use of this function of fire is tantamount to discovering and inventing a miracle for ancient people!

From then on, human beings have a knowledge of fire, a habit of eating cooked food, and a flourishing culinary art and enjoyment.

2. Prometheus came to earth with fire and was punished by Zeus. Locked at the foot of the mountain, Zeus sent another vulture to peck at Prometheus' liver. During the day, Prometheus' liver was eaten up, and at night, Prometheus' liver grew out.

3. There is a great god named Fuxi in the sky. He is very sad when he sees that human life is so difficult. He wants people to know the use of fire. So Fuxi showed his magical powers and dropped a thunderstorm in the mountains. With a "crack", lightning struck the trees, and the trees burst into flames, which soon became a raging fire. People were frightened by lightning and fire and fled everywhere. Soon, the thunderstorm stopped, night fell, and the earth became colder and wetter after the rain. The scattered people got together again, and they looked at the burning trees in horror. At this time, a young man found that the howling of wild animals that used to appear around him was gone. He thought, "Is the wild animal afraid of this shiny thing?" So he bravely walked to the fire, and he found himself so warm. He greeted everyone excitedly: "Come on, this fire is not terrible at all, it brings us light and warmth!" " At this time, people found that the wild animals burned to death not far away gave off bursts of fragrance. People gathered by the fire and shared the burnt meat of wild animals, feeling that they had never tasted such delicious food. People feel the value of fire. They pick branches, light the fire and keep them. Every day, people take turns to watch the fire and not let it go out. But one day, the man on duty fell asleep, and the fire burned out the branches and went out. People fell into darkness and cold again, and it was very painful.

Fuxi, a great god, saw all this in the sky. He came to the dream of the young man who first discovered the use of fire and told him, "There is a kingdom of Suiming in the far west, where there is fire. You can go there and get it back." The young man woke up, remembered what the great god said in his dream, and decided to go to Suiming to find the fire.

The young man climbed mountains, waded across rivers, and went through forests. After all the hardships, he finally came to Suiming. But there is no sunshine here, day and night, everywhere is dark, there is no fire at all. The young man was very disappointed and sat down under a big tree called Suimu to have a rest. Suddenly, there was a flash of light in front of the young man's eyes, shining brightly around him. The young man immediately stood up and looked around for a light source. At this time, he found that there were several big birds pecking the insects on the tree with short and hard beaks. As soon as they peck, bright sparks shine on the tree. When the young man saw this scene, his mind flashed. He immediately broke some branches of the tree and drilled the big branches with small branches. The branches really flashed with fire, but they didn't catch fire. The young man was not discouraged. He found all kinds of branches and patiently rubbed them with different branches. Finally, there was smoke on the branch, and then there was a fire. The young man shed tears of joy.

Young people have returned to their hometown, bringing people a fire that will never go out-the method of drilling wood for fire. From then on, people no longer have to live in cold and fear. People were impressed by the young man's courage and wisdom, elected him as the leader, and called him a "flint", which means "kinder".
