Suiren

Fire maker in Chinese mythology

Suiren (Chinese: 燧人, Pinyin: Suìrén, "Fire-maker"), also known as Suihuang (燧皇, Suìhuáng, "The Great Fire-maker"), in Chinese mythology is credited with introducing fire-making to humans. Whether Suiren was a single individual or a community (燧人氏, Suìrénshì, "Fire-makers"), and whether he used wood-drilling (鑽木取火) or flint-striking (擊石取火) to make fire—the accounts vary.

From Wikipedia

Suiren (Chinese: 燧人, Pinyin: Suìrén, "Fire-maker"), also known as Suihuang (燧皇, Suìhuáng, "The Great Fire-maker"), in Chinese mythology is credited with introducing fire-making to humans. Whether Suiren was a single individual or a community (燧人氏, Suìrénshì, "Fire-makers"), and whether he used wood-drilling (鑽木取火) or flint-striking (擊石取火) to make fire—the accounts vary. He is included firstly on some lists of Three August Ones (三皇). Tradition holds that he ruled over China for 110 years. He is sometimes identified as the father of Fuxi (伏羲) through his wife Huaxu (華胥). His legendary capital is associated with Shangqiu in Henan.
