Huang Di - The Yellow Emperor. (A. Fantalov, the image in Indian ink).

After a while after The Red Emperor, his brother - great Huang Di (The Yellow Emperor) has appeared. On mountain ridge there was his fine palace surrounded with walls and towers. In an internal courtyard grew huge rice ear, pearl and turquoise trees. But the most surprising was tree reminding a skeleton of an umbrella both connected the sky and the ground. Among trees phoenixes, eagles, dragons and fantastical creatures (one of them likes the bull liver with pair small eyes) lived. This creature was favourite food of wise men - how many from it would not cut off pieces, loss was always filled. Ridge was surrounded with fiery river, in which flame lived huge mouse. All affairs in a palace spirit (a tiger with the head of the person) managed. A gate was guarded with other spirit with a body of a tiger and nine human heads.

Всеми делами во дворце заведовал дух Луу (девятихвостый тигр с лицом человека). Ворота же стерег дух Кайминшоу с телом тигра и девятью человеческими головами.
