(8) Taihao Fuxi Shi (surnamed Feng; styled Taihao. His mother was Huaxu, who gave birth to him upon being moved by treading on a giant's footprint. He had a serpent's body and a human head. He reared domestic animals for the kitchen, and was therefore also called Paoxi. He was the foremost ruler of peace in the realm, posthumously titled 'Calmer of the People,' and by taking Heaven as his model he was called Sovereign). Ruling by the virtue of Wood, his capital was at Chenliu (now the boundary of Xiaohuang County in Yanzhou). He reigned for 110 years. He first drew the eight trigrams and created written tallies (to replace the system of knotted cords, from which written records arose). He instituted marriage (the woman going out is called marrying out; the man taking a wife is called taking in marriage). He set nets and snares to catch fish (wang and luo are nets. The Erya says: bird snares are called luo, fish traps are called quan, and hare snares are called zhi). He created the twenty-five-stringed se zither (seven chi two cun long, one chi eight cun wide). Nüwa Shi (surnamed Feng, younger sister of Fuxi; capable of transforming the myriad things) created the sheng mouth-organ and reed-pipes (four chi long; pipes arranged in a gourd fitted with reeds; the large ones have nineteen reeds, the small ones thirteen reeds; thirty-seven bamboo pipes; reeds four chi two cun long, made of bamboo, shaped unevenly like bird feathers). She smelted five-colored stones to mend the fissure in Heaven, and severed the legs of a giant turtle to establish the four extremities. She reigned for 140 years.
