Information about Hushang
Hushang or Hōshang (in Persian: هوشنگ), older Persian Hōšang, was the second Shāh to rule the world according to Ferdowsi's Shāhnāma. Hushang is based upon the legendary figure Haošyaŋha in the ancient Zoroastrian scripture of the Avesta.
Hushang is also called Pishdād (پیشداد), older Pēšdād, corresponding to Avestan Paraδāta.
The Avesta is the primary collection of sacred texts of Zoroastrianism, composed in the Avestan language. The texts originate over a period spanning most of the 1st millennium BC, and notably include the Old Avestan

Hushang is also called Pishdād (پیشداد), older Pēšdād, corresponding to Avestan Paraδāta.
Etymology
Haošyaŋha is the Avestan development of Proto-Iranian *Haušyahah, containing the prefix *Hau-, a derived form of *Hu-, "good, well", and an uncertain root šyah-, possibly to be interpreted as "selecting" or "deciding". ُThe name might then be interpreted "of the good choice".Haošyaŋha in Zoroastrian literature
Haošyaŋha's original status is uncertain. He may have begun as a demon-defeating hero, or may have been a rival for the title of first man (or first king) with Gayōmart. One trace that may remain of that status is the labelling of the entire early line of kings as "Pishdādi", after Hushang's name Pishdād.Hushang in the Shāhnāma
In the epic poem of the Shāhnāma, Hushang was the son of Siyāmak and grandson of Keyumars. He led the army against the son of Ahriman that avenged the death of Siyāmak. After the death of Keyumars, Hushang became king of the human race. During Hushang's reign, many new discoveries were made for the comfort of humanity. Hushang discovered iron and the principles of iron-working; the methods of agriculture and irrigation; he learned how to domesticate certain beasts as livestock and for use as draught animals; how to make clothing from the furs of other beasts; and he discovered how to make fire from flint. This happened when Hushang hurled a flint rock to kill a venomous black serpent. Missing the serpent, the rock struck another flint to produce fiery sparks. Hushang learned how to make fire this way, and taught his people; in honor of the discovery, they established the Sadeh festival. After a reign of forty years, he left the kingdom to his son Tahmuras.| Preceded by Keyumars | Legendary Kings of the Shāhnāma 30-70 (after Keyumars) | Succeeded by Tahmuras |
