Fu Xi 伏儀

Fu xi 伏儀 is a legendary god in the mythology of ancient China.

According to a legend, by imitating the spider, he created a net to catch fish and animals. He invented the musical instrument, composed music and designed the ancient calendar.  

When the land was swept by a great flood, he married his younger sister, Nuwa 女媧, and started the reproduction of offspring.  Thus they became the ancestors of the Chinese.

In the Han Dynasty (206 B.C. - 220), Nuwa and Fu Xi were carved on stone as figures with human heads and bodies of snakes.  They are human-shaped from the waist up, but are snake-like below.  The lower bodies are entangled together with each other.

Fu xi is also said to have established Bagua, the Eight Diagrams used in divination.
