Ao Bing third dragon prince

Here is information about Ao Bing from the 1979 film and his original background:

Basic Identity

Ao Bing is a fictional character from the classic Chinese novel Investiture of the Gods (Fengshen Yanyi), and appears as a major antagonist in the 1979 film. He is the third son of Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea.

Portrayal in the 1979 Film

• Role: He is sent by his father to confront Nezha after Nezha injures the yaksha Ye Sha (who was sent to capture children for the Dragon King to eat). Ao Bing is ultimately killed by Nezha, which triggers a larger conflict between Nezha and the Dragon Kings.
• Character Trait: Depicted as arrogant, cruel, and loyal to his father's corrupt orders. He is also a scholar
• Design: In the 1979 film, he does not have red hair; his human form is more traditional, and his dragon form is large and majestic. The red-haired design you shared may come from fan art, modern reimaginations, or promotionalt materials (such as a later collaborative short video mentioned in search results that features a redesigned Ao Bing with a different appearance).

Original Mythological Background

• In Investiture of the Gods, Ao Bing was originally revered as a rain god but became corrupt along with his father. After being killed by Nezha, he is later deified as the Hua Gai Xing Zun (Star Lord of the Celestial Canopy), responsible for weather patterns and the fate of mortal emperors.
• Modern adaptations (like the 2019 film Ne Zha) have reimagined him as a compassionate friend to Nezha, a significant departure from his traditional depiction.
