Shangqiu is a place where many myths are handed down, among which there is one aboutArgotAccording to the legend, the argot was originally the "god of fire" in the sky. He violated the rules of heaven by secretly throwing kindling into the world. The Emperor of Heaven wanted to demote him to the mortal world.When he was about to come down from the sky, he secretly hid the kindling on his body and brought it to the world.Shortly after that, the Emperor of Heaven knew about the fire theft by the argo, so the Emperor of Heaven was angry and made a scenebig flood, to drown the fire in the world and punish the argot.The flood on the ground rushed to Shangqiu like a beast, and people were scared to flee everywhere.In order to preserve the kindling, the Amber built a high platform, built a shed to shelter the rain, and stayed alone on the high platform to guard.When the flood receded, when people came back from all directions, the fire on the high platform was still burning, and the Amber had starved to death beside the fire.[2]
