According to legend Chi You had a bronze head with metal foreheads. His head is also that of a bull with two horns, but the body is that of a human. Some sources have claimed that the 81 is associated with the 81 clans in his kingdom instead.
In the ancient Zhuolu Town is a statue of Chi You claiming to be the original Hmong ancestors. The place is regarded as the birthplace of the San maio / Miao people. Chi You has also been listed as part of Dongyi. The battle dragged on for days while the emperor's side was in danger.
According to notes by the Qing Dynasty painter Luo Ping: "Yellow emperor ordered his men to have Chi You beheaded... seeing that Chi You's head was separated from his body, later sages had his image engraved on sacrificial vessels as a warning to those that would covet power and wealth."
In the People's Republic of China, the Hall of the Three Grand Ancestors built in Xinzheng is dedicated to Yellow Emperor, Yandi and Chi You who are collectively revered as the founding ancestors of the Chinese nation. Construction of the Hall was funded mostly by the Hmong communities overseas and the Chinese Government.
According to the controversial Korean history book Hwandan Gogi, complied by Uncho Gye Yeon-su in 1911, and later published in 1979, did mention Chi You.
