Chuan Xiong (Little Juan Young)
Little Chuan Xiong was SO energetic as a child - he would always run in bloody circles which caused painful Shao Yang and Jue Yin headaches. One day he ran so fast that he created a powerful wind twister that lifted his qi so much it gave him yet another painful headache!
What a strange little boy! Legend tells that his pregnant mother (cc: pregnancy) had (cc: excess menstrual bleeding) and (cc: LYR) with (cc: qi deficiency) and sleepless nights (cc: yin deficiency with heat).
