The beginning of Yi Zhongtian's Chinese History is a story that appears confounding yet familiar. The author opens his tale with an account of apes shedding their hair to become naked apes - Chinese Adam and Eve stepping out of the Garden of Eden (which may exist in China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region) - and a detailed description of matriarchal societies.
Yi says Venus and Chinese goddess Nyu Wa are one and the same, and then continues his tale with the emperors of Yan and Huang.
