According to Chinese legend, there are so many stories related to nature and animals. One of them is about a weather family in&nbsp;the sky: \u96f7\u516c (l\u00e9ig\u014dng, thunder father),\u7535\u6bcd (di\u00e0n&nbsp;m\u01d4, lightning mother), \u98ce\u4f2f (f\u0113ngb\u00f3, uncle wind), \u4e91\u7ae5(y\u00fant\u00f3ng, cloud child) and \u96e8\u5e08 (y\u01d4sh\u012b, master rain) Wait! Master rain? &nbsp;Where is&nbsp;he from\u2026he doesn\u2019t&nbsp;belong to this family! Anyway,&nbsp;\u96f7\u516c and&nbsp;\u7535\u6bcd are husband and wife. The weird thing is&nbsp;\u96f7\u516c&nbsp;killed&nbsp;\u7535\u6bcd accidentally when she was still a human and somehow the king of the Gods ask them to marry each other. Since then, every time before&nbsp;\u96f7\u516c sends thunder, his wife&nbsp;\u7535\u6bcd will&nbsp;use&nbsp;flashing mirrors to send bolts of lightning across the sky to remind her husband not to kill the wrong people again.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
