a short myth story

In Chinese mythology, there was a story about the sun. Legend has it that a long time ago, the sun was not as bright as it is now, but hung in the sky like a gem. People could not see the sun clearly, nor could they find the reason why the sun rose. One day, a man named Xu You heard about this question and decided to look for the answer. He walked for many days, passing through the mountains and rivers, and finally came to a place called the Heaven Realm. There, he met an immortal who told him that the sun hung in the sky because it was the wing of a bird. Xu You was very surprised, but he still decided to continue searching for the answer. After many days of hard work, he finally found a bird called the Sunbird. The Sunbird told him that the sun was bright because it had eaten a gem called the "Sunlight Pearl." After Xu You got the answer, he went home and told the people the secret. People began to make "Sunlight Pearls" to make the sun brighter. This legend spread.
