In Chinese mythology, Fu Xi or Fu Hsi, mid-2800s B.C.E., was the first of the mythical Three Sovereigns  of ancient China. According to Chinese mythology, he is a cultural hero, reputed to have taught the Chinese people fishing with nets, hunting with weapons made of iron, cooking, domestication of animals, music, the writing system,  (cultivation of silk worms) and the weaving of threads from silkworm cocoons into textiles. He tamed the waters of the yellow river by digging dikes, canals and irrigation ditches, offered the first open air sacrifice and standardized marriage contracts. He is also credited with creating the Eight tigrams, which form the basis for the philosophy of the Book of Changes (1 china) and are regarded as the origin of calligraphy.
