Abstract

The 10 suns bathing relates to sun worship. The story of the suns bathing and then emerging from the water has likely become one of a fish changing into a bird, becoming a winged sun, and then flying off from the tree branches. When icons and documents such as Chu Ci (楚辞), the Chu (楚) silk paintings, Shan Hai Jing (山海經), and the Mawangdui (馬王堆) silk paintings are brought together, this outline can be drawn. In doing so, the “ Fu Yao (扶揺)” is not the “wind” in Guo Xiang’s (郭象) annotation; it is best to understand the “ Fu Yao (扶揺)” in Xiaoyaoyou (逍遙遊) and the “ Fu Yao (扶揺) branches” in the Zaiyou (在宥) text to both be akin to “ Fusang (扶桑).”
