Chijiang Ziyu was a man of the time of the Yellow Emperor. He did not eat the five grains but consumed the flowers of a hundred herbs. By the time of Yao, he became a woodworker. He could ascend and descend following the wind and rain. From time to time, he sold silk-corded arrows at the market gate, and was also called the Cord Father.
