History
Legend has it that in primitive society, after Zhuanxu, Emperor ?i?u was the chief of the tribal confederation of Shangdi.
Seeing that the people of Shangdi did not have any fire, Emperor ?i?u sent his son Xuanbo to be the "Fire Chief" of Shangdi.
Xiongnu did his duty and worked hard to preserve the fire.
After his death, the people built a fire temple (or Xiongnu Shrine) on the earth platform where he kept the fire, which was later called the Fire God Terrace, and why Xiongnu became a Prometheus-style fire-stealing hero when he was the "Fire Chief"? Another legend circulating in the region is that Xiongnu was originally the "fire god" in the sky, and because he violated the rules of heaven by secretly putting fire on the earth, the emperor of heaven wanted to relegate him to the mortal world as a citizen.
When Xiongnu was about to come down from the sky, he secretly hid the fire seeds on his body and brought them to the earth.
Soon after, the Emperor knew about Xiongnu's theft of fire, and sent a flood to drown the fire on earth to punish Xiongnu.
The flood on the earth was like a fierce beast, and frightened the people into fleeing in all directions.
Xiongnu built a high platform to save the fire, put up a shelter to protect it from the rain, and stayed on the platform alone to guard the fire.
When the flood receded, and people came back from all directions, the fire was still burning, but Xiongnu died of starvation.
The Xiongnu of this myth is a Promethean fire-stealing hero of the East.
Because the god of fire lives on a high platform, people in the eastern part of the country call the pilgrimage to Xiongnu, the god of fire, the "pilgrimage to the platform".
There are three times a year when the fire god is worshipped.
The first is the seventh day of the first month, which is said to be the birthday of the god of fire.
In fact, people began to gather on the first day of the first month to the fire god platform, until the second day of February, the party dispersed, the meeting period of one month, is the largest pilgrimage in the year.

The second is the fourth day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, which is a day of sacrifice to the Star of Commerce, the duration of 10 days.
The third is on the 23rd day of the 6th lunar month, which is said to be the day when Xiongnu, the god of fire, died, and the festival lasted for 10 days.
