He is pictured with horns and a bronze head, and in battle he raised a great fog. The Yellow Emperor found his way through it with the south-pointing chariot,
指南车, helped by the goddess
九天玄女. Later Chiyou was worshipped as a god of war, and many of the Miao,
苗族, honor him as their ancestor. A hall at Zhuolu now honors
黄帝,
炎帝 and Chiyou together as forebears of the Chinese.
