Also known as Zhulong (Illuminating Dragon) and Shokuin in Japanese, Zhu Yin is a Chinese light and weather Dragon deity that lives on Mount Zhōng, one of Heaven's gates to the North, - it's appearance is a 300 mile long dragon, with an elderly human male face instead of a draconic one. The earliest legend of China attributes daybreak to Zhulong opening his eyes, and nightfall to Zhulong closing his eyes - it's cold breath brought about the winter season, while it's warm breath brought about summer. It lives at the foot of its mountain and did not have a need to eat, drink, or rest. The rain and wind are at its beck and call, along with his illumination being so great, it even pierces the depths of the Underworld.
"A snake god that controls daylight and the weather. He has the face of a human, but his eyes are vertical. He lives in the mountains of northern China, wrapped around them with his crimson body. He does not eat, sleep or breathe. It is day when his eyes are open and night when they close. If he blows, it becomes winter, and if he inhales it becomes summer."
