Houqing, Ying Gou, Drought, and Jiangchen are honored by later generations as the Four Great Zombie Ancestors, the progenitors of zombies!
These Four Great Zombie Ancestors are not to be underestimated; among them, Jiangchen did not exist in ancient mythology but was fabricated by modern Huaxia People. However, as the tale was told repeatedly, it became accepted as truth.
Drought, in ancient mythology, is a monster that brings about drought disasters.
"The Book of Songs · Greater Odes · Han Cloud": "Drought grieves as a disaster, searing as if with intense heat."
"Shen Yi Jing" says: "There is a creature in the south, two to three feet tall, with bare body, eyes atop its head, moving like the wind, named Drought. Wherever it appears, great droughts occur, the land is scorched for thousands of miles, it is also known as Mother of Drought."
There are also many records about zombies in ancient mythology, and they can't be discussed without mentioning Drought.
