SUIREN
Suiren (Chinese: 燧人, Suìrén, lit. flint person"), also known as Suihuang (Chinese: 燧皇, Suìhuáng, lit. "Flint Emperor"), appears in Chinese mythology and some works which draw upon it. Although the Sui in his name is sometimes translated as Flint, Sui in Chinese refers to all firestarters. For example, Liji separates Sui into Musui (Chinese: 木燧, Musui, lit. "wood sui") or fire drill wood and Yangsui (Chinese: 阳燧, Yangsui, lit. "Solar Sui"), usually bronze mirrors used to start fire by reflecting the sun).
