Fairy and Demon Gods

Chapter 66 The Twelve Ancestral Witches (source modeling characteristics, minor adjustments)

[Space Ancestor Wudijiang]: It is shaped like a yellow sac, red like a red fire, six-legged and four-winged, and has no face. It is capable of singing and dancing. "Shan Hai Jing · Xi Shan Jing · Xici Three Classics"

[Time Ancestor Witch Candle Dragon (Zhu Jiuyin)]: The human face is red with a snake body, straight eyes are upright, its eyes are dark, its eyes are bright, it does not eat or sleep, it is raining.It's Zhu Jiuyin, it's Zhu Long. "Shan Hai Jing Da Huang Bei Jing"

[Golden Ancestor Wu Ru (rù) Shou (Golden God, God of Autumn of the Four Seasons God)]: Human face, tiger claws, white hair, holding a battle axe, with a snake in the left ear, riding two dragons. "Shan Hai Jing New Interpretation Volume [-] Shan Hai Jing Seventh Overseas Western Classics" ("Shan Hai Jing" records: the west has harvested, there is a snake in the left ear, and two dragons ride. "Jin Yu Eryun": There are gods and men Face, white hair, tiger claws, holding a battle axe, stand in Xi'a, and the mat will be harvested. At the same time, the direction of the five elements, the west belongs to gold.)
[Witch sentence (gōu) Mang (the god of wood, the god of spring of the god of the four seasons)]: The body of a bird and the face of a human, riding two dragons. "Shan Hai Jing · Overseas East Jing"

【Ancestor of Water, Wu Gonggong】: Human face, snake body and vermilion hair. "Gui Zang · Enlightenment"

[Wu Zhurong, the ancestor of fire (the god of fire, the summer god of the four seasons gods)]: Beast body and human face, riding two dragons. "Shan Hai Jing Overseas South Classic"

[(female) the ancestor of the earth, Wuhoutu]: Human face and snake body. (Except for Di Jiang who has no face and no eyes, and Qiang Liang who is the head of a tiger, the rest of these gods and men {zuwu} are all "human faces".) "Shan Hai Jing. Hai Nei Jing"

[Father of Wind Wu Yuqiang (God of Wind, God of Sea, God of Plague)]: In the Zhu of the North Sea, there is a god with a human face and a bird body, two green snakes and two red snakes named Yuqiang. "Shan Hai Jing Great Wilderness Northern Classic" ("Zhuangzi Great Master": "Yu Qiang got it and stood at the North Pole." It is also said that "the god of the North Sea is named Yu Qiang, and the spirit turtle is his envoy." Yu Qiang's other A record, from "Huainanzi·Chuixing Xun": "The corner is strong, and it is not born of the wind." The record in "Historical Records Lvshu" is "The wind is in the northwest, and the master kills.")
([Tianwu] said it, and I completely rejected it. He is the Boss of Shui in various myths and legends. Between the two waters. It is a beast, with eight human faces, eight legs and eight tails, all green and yellow.")
[(Female) Rain/Ice/Winter's Ancestor Wu Xuanming (Rain God, Ice God, Winter God of the Four Seasons God)] Human face and bird body, two green snakes, two green snakes.The settings of Yu Qiang in "Shan Hai Jing Overseas Bei Jing" were used. ("Shan Hai Jing Dahuang Bei Jing" Yu Qiang is "practicing two red snakes." "Shan Hai Jing Hai Hai Bei Jing" Yu Qiang is "practicing two green snakes". This is obviously in conflict, then Yu Qiang / foot red Snake/male, Xuanming/foot green snake/female.)
Originally, I thought that Xuanming and Gonggong had some overlap, and that rain and ice were just branches of water, but Xuanming is also one of the four seasons gods, the god of winter, and it is reasonable to be ranked 12 ancestor witches!
("Zuo Zhuan Eighteen Years of Zhao Gong": "Fire in Xuanming, Huilu." Du Yu's note: "Xuanming, the god of water." Han Zhangheng's "Sixuan Fu": "The former long-distance envoy is whisking his feathers, The commissioned water balance is Xuanming." One said it is the rain master. See Han Yingshao's "Customs, Sacrifice, Rain Master".) (Xuanming, has the characteristics of insufficient light in winter and dark weather. "Water" and "Yin" "Darkness", "rain" and "winter" also mean more!)

[Wu Qiangliang, Patriarch of Thunder]: Holding a snake in his mouth and holding a snake in his mouth, it has the shape of a tiger's head and a human body, with four hooves and long elbows. "Shan Hai Jing Da Huang Bei Jing". (I can’t see why it’s the god of thunder. "Shan Hai Jing Hai Nei Dong Jing": There is a god of thunder in Lei Ze, with a dragon head and a human head, and thunder in its abdomen. It is in Wuxi. One dragon head and one tiger head, one in the east and one in the north , The wind and the horse are irrelevant! We can only follow the setting of "Buddha Book"!) (Besides, "Shan Hai Jing" doesn't say about Qiang Liang's ability, let's arrange a thunderbolt!)

[(female) Wu Yanzi, the ancestor of electricity (yǎn zī)]: Human face and bird body, Er two green snakes, and two red snakes. "Shan Hai Jing Da Huang Xi Jing". (弇银氏 (yǎn zī shì): The earliest female leader in ancient Chinese legends. Chinese myths and legends [Thunder God] [Electric Mother (God of Lightning)]. Because of these two reasons, I set it as the ancestor witch !)

[Wu Shebi Corpse, the ancestor of poison] Beast body, human face, big ears, and two green snakes. "Shan Hai Jing Da Huang Dong Jing". (Far-fetched, based on the word "corpse". "Corpse" generally refers to all animal bodies that have no signs of life; people or bodies that are sacrificed and displayed on behalf of the dead during sacrifices; idols and gods during sacrifices; "in charge, Host"; "responsible, responsible"; extended to "receive the corpse"; etc., etc. I reluctantly extended it to control death and sacrifice, let people wait for death and prepare to collect the corpse, which has the meaning of plague or "poisonous"... This is really "I am poisonous, use poison well, you all wait to die"!")
