SAN HUANG

Chinese Ruler God

Also known as Sanhuang, Three Sovereigns

The legendary Three Sovereigns

They ruled the dawn of China about five thousand years ago.

First was Fuxi, then Shennong, and finally Sui Ren. They are renowned for teaching mankind essential survival tips and how to make a living. After that the humans took over with the Five Kings (Wu Di).

If you look closely, you may notice that the San Huang are actually snake-like reptiles with human heads. Please don’t stare. Dragons are very beneficial in China.
