天火所居

[Hakkar]

然，此地处生涯之极，冬夏雪霜，冷寒重袭，古有云天火所居，世又言大神尔尔，夫怪力之事，皆人力也，嘻，不语……

Hello everyone. What does 天火所居 mean here? Is this about a mythical phenomenon where the sky is on fire? Thanks in advance.

What is the name of the text? I am not an expert on Chinese folk religions, but I don't think I have come across with many stories that talk about the "adobe of heavenly fire."

Hello，天火所居 means somewhere the 天火 happens. We don't use the word 天火 nowadays，and I think it was used to refer to the big fires caused by natural reasons such as lightning or something in Ancient Chinese.
