Yanshi is a strange person that King Mu of Zhou once met in a distant foreign land when he was hunting westward.
Yanshi is the most amazing mechanical engineer in ancient legends, and he once dedicated a puppet to King Zhou Mu that is even better than modern robots.
The appearance of the puppets and ordinary people created by the Yanshi is extremely cool, and King Zhou Mu thought at first that it was just the entourage of the Yanshi, but after the Yanshi's explanation, this famous king with a strong divinity was also amazed.
The puppet forwards, backwards, leans forward, and backwards, the movements are the same as real people, and when he shakes his chin, he can sing gracefully, and he will swing and dance when he mobilizes his arms, so that the onlookers are amazed, and King Zhou Mu is interesting to watch, and let the pet Ji come out together**.
At the end of the performance, the puppet threw a flattering look at King Zhou Mu's favorite concubine, which made King Zhou Mu furious, and he was determined that this flexible guy who looked like a living person was an out-and-out real person, and he wanted to execute the Yanshi on the spot.
The Yanshi immediately folded the puppet and found that it was just a dead object composed of leather, wood, glue paint, and black, white, red, and blue paint.
King Zhou Mu stepped forward to take a closer look, the puppet has internal organs, and the outside is muscles, bones, joints, fur, teeth, and hair, but they are all fakes, once combined, but it is a living puppet, the puppet's heart is removed, the puppet will not be able to speak, the liver will be blind, and its kidneys will be removed, and it will not be able to walk.
In the end, King Zhou Mu was convinced, and sighed at the superb skills of the Yanshi.
That is to say, no matter how good the skills are, it is difficult to create people's hearts.

It proves that the Yanshi has a high level of skill.

The fifth king of the Zhou Dynasty, Ji Man. Son of King Zhao of Zhou. One of the most mythical kings in the history of our country.
Legend has it that he lived for 105 years and reigned for about 55 years (976 BC-922 BC), and it is said that he lived for 1001 BC - 947 BC. According to the record of "The Biography of Mu Tianzi" unearthed from the tomb of the Western Warring States in Jixian County, King Mu of Zhou likes to travel, and once drove 90,000 miles of eight horses in the 13th and 17th years of King Mu, and traveled west to the Kunlun Hill of "the place where the birds untie the feathers", and watched the palace of the Yellow Emperor. He also set up a banquet in Yaochi to make a song and harmony with the Queen Mother of the West.
According to the research of modern scholars, the place where King Mu of Zhou traveled west should be the plain between the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea, which is the earliest historical record of the exchange between China and the Western Regions.
King Mu of Zhou was committed to the development of the four directions, and because the nomadic Rong Di did not pay tribute to the Zhou Dynasty, he conquered the dog Rong twice, obtained its 5 kings, and moved part of the Rong people to Taiyuan (now the area of Zhenyuan, Gansu). He also attacked Xu Rong in the east and joined the princes at Tushan (now southeast of Huaiyuan, Anhui), consolidating Zhou's rule in the southeast. And formulated 5 punishments of ink, slash, bing, palace, and Dabi, and its detailed rules reached as many as 3,000 articles.
The story of King Mu's westward expedition was circulated in later generations, such as the "Biography of Mu Tianzi", a bamboo slip of the Warring States period unearthed from the Jin Dynasty's Ji Tomb, reflecting King Mu's intention to travel around the world and interact with the tribes of various countries in the northwest at that time.
Myths and legends about him are still seen in the pre-Qin history books and the Six Dynasties to the Strange**. "Liezi.
