Nezha is often depicted flying in the sky with a wheel of fire under each foot, a golden hoop The Cosmic Ring around his shoulder and a spear in his hands. Nezha is usually depicted as a youth and rarely as an adult.

As the third son of a military commander called Li Jing, a military leader in Chentangguan Fortress, his birth was peculiar. When his mother got pregnant, she waited for three years to deliver the boy, but unfortunately a meat ball was born. His father got so angry that he split it with a sword, which caused Nezha to jump out and grow fully, even though his mind and temperament were that of a child. He flayed and disemboweled himself after committing several crimes in the eyes of the Heavenly Court but was brought back to life by a Taoist priest who used lotus blossoms to reconstruct a body for his soul to inhabit
