Is it Yi or HouYi?

[Is it Yi or Houyi?] The protagonist of the primary school Chinese text "Nine Days of Shooting" is named Yi, but the protagonist in the familiar story of Houyi Shooting Day is Houyi. So, is Yi a Houyi? In fact, this is a misunderstanding. (1) The "Yi" in the "Nine Days of Yi Shooting" refers to the mythological figure "Dayi" ;(2) "Houyi" was a small king in the Xia Dynasty era, which has been recorded in some historical materials; (3) "Dayi Shooting" will evolve into "Houyi Shooting Day" mainly because the names of the two are too similar, and the skills are very similar, and later generations will gradually confuse "Dayi" and "Houyi". Did you learn "Nine Days of Shooting" or "Day of Shooting" before? Leave us a message.
