Don t be fooled, the Chinese Xiangliu and the Japanese Yaki Orochi are not directly related!

Soyanagi and Yagi Orochi, respectively, are famous monsters in Chinese and Japanese mythology, many articles believe that Soyanagi and Yaki Orochi are actually a monster, according to legend, Soyanagi ran to Japan after being cut off in China and became a big demon Yagi Orochi, in fact, this statement is not true, they are completely two monsters.

The Japanese Yaki Orochi was first published in the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki

According to the Kojiki and Nihonshoki, the Yaki Orochi is known for its huge size and ferocious character. It inhabits the Izumo region and asks for a maiden sacrifice to the local area every year.

In order to save the village plagued by the Yaki Orochi, Susanoo starts a fierce battle with the Yaki Orochi. Eventually, Susanoo succeeded in slashing the Yaki Orochi into several pieces, including a hard and sharp weapon, the Tencong Cloud Sword.

Chinese monster Xiangliu, from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".

Soyanagi likes to use his nine heads to feed from different mountains, and wherever he touches him, he will sink into swamps and streams. Xiangliu was later killed by Dayu, and the place where its blood flowed through was not an inch of grass, and the grains were difficult to plant.

Although both Soryu and Yagi Orochi are snake demons with multiple heads, they carry completely different cultural meanings and symbolisms.

In Chinese mythology, the incarnation of natural disasters is closely linked to the story of the water god, symbolizing awe and respect for the forces of nature.

And in Japanese mythology, Yaki Orochi is the incarnation of ** and is eventually killed by mortals.

The most important thing is that the mana of Xiangliu is much higher than that of the Yaqi Orochi.
