Origin and Story of 鲁人回日

Legend has it that King Wu of Zhou led his vassals to attack King Zhou of Shang. Banners fluttered, battle cries filled the air, and the fighting was fierce.

Lu Yang Gong (Duke Luyang), a subordinate of King Wu, fought with increasing bravery, causing the enemy to flee in disarray.

As dusk approached, Lu Yang Gong raised his long spear and waved it at the sun. With a thunderous roar, the sun retreated three constellations, restoring daylight.

This allowed them to completely annihilate the enemy forces.
