‌Chinese Stories

"Revered as the primordial ancestors of the Chinese nation, the Yan Emperor and the Yellow Emperor led tribes frequently at war with each other. Even after the Yellow Emperor passed his throne to Zhuanxu, the conflicts persisted. Zhuanxu's ascension severed communication between the human realm and the divine realm, plunging people into great hardship. Gonggong, a descendant of the Yan Emperor, rose to challenge Zhuanxu for the throne of the Heavenly Emperor. Raising a formidable army, the two forces clashed violently-battling from the celestial realms down to the earthly domain, and back again through the heavens... Did Gonggong ultimately triumph over Zhuanxu?
