'''''Xizi''''' was a book of [[I Ching]] written during the fifth century [[Before Christ|BC]]. Its origins are unknown, but it is suspected of being the product of scholars who did not believe prevailing [[Daoism|Daoist]] thought. Among the [[mythology|mythologies]] stressed in the book is that of [[Fuxi]], the emperor-god.

Xizi is also a nickname for the great Chinese beauty [[Xi Shi]]. Literally it means Xi Lady. Since the [[West Lake]] at [[Hangzhou]] was believed to be the legendary incarnation of Xi Shi, thus it is also called Xizi Hu (lake).
