Zhulong (mythology) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Zhulong (mythology)
Zhulong () or Zhuyin (, or "Torch Shadow") was a giant red draconic solar deity in Chinese mythology. It supposedly had a human's face and snake's body, created day and night by opening and closing its eyes, and created seasonal winds by breathing. ==Names== The keyword in the names Zhuyin and Zhulong is ''zhu'' 燭 (simplified 烛) "torch; candle; shine upon; illuminate; light up" (cf. ''zhuo'' 灼 "burn; illuminate; bright"). One alternate ''Chuci'' name below writes ''zhu'' with the variant Chinese character ''zhuo'' 逴 or 趠 "quarrel, squabble; distant, far". Zhuyin uses ''zhu'' as a verb "illuminate; brighten" with ''yin'' 陰 (simplified 阴) "dark; shady; cloudy; overcast", which is the feminine principle of Yin and Yang. ''Yin'' recurs below in the term ''jiuyin'' 九陰 "ninefold darkness". Zhulong uses ''zhu'' as a modifier "torch; candle" with ''long'' 龍 (simplified 龙) "Chinese dragon". Compare the homophone ''zhulong'' 燭籠 "lantern" with ''long'' 籠 "basket; cage; receptacle".
