What is the beast to ward off evil spirits?

To ward off evil spirits is a winged beast shaped like a lion in China myths and legends. The brave is the nine princes of the Dragon King. His staple food is gold, silver and jewels, and naturally he is covered with treasures, so he won the favor of the Jade Emperor Dragon King. However, eating too much will cause diarrhea.

One day, I couldn't help urinating everywhere, which made the jade emperor very angry. I slapped him, spanked me, and my anus was sealed. From then on, gold and silver treasures can only go in and out. After the story spread, this animal was regarded as making money.

I like sleeping lazily. I'd better pick him up every day, touch him and play with him, as if to wake him up and wealth will follow. Those without horns are called "evil spirits", those with one horn are called "Tianlu" and those with two horns are called "Kirin".

In Shang and Zhou Dynasties, gluttonous ornamentation was widely used in bronze ritual vessels, and it was a common evil spirit. Legend has it that gluttony is a beast, greedy and vicious, and it died before cannibalism. Shang Dynasty and Western Zhou Dynasty took this as a taboo and cast its patterns on the surface of bronze ritual vessels. When offering sacrifices, the bottom is burned with charcoal, and the top is boiled with hot water, so that they suffer as punishment.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, turtles were often used to ward off evil spirits, and turtle-shaped stoves, turtle-shaped pots and other cultural relics have also been seen in this world. Legend has it that the tortoise is one of the nine sons of the dragon. The dragon gave birth to nine sons, and none of them became Jackie Chan. What is particularly embarrassing is that one of them turned out to be a turtle, a "turtle son".

In order to show the punishment for "turtle son" and "turtle calf", the Han people made them suffer greatly, or baked them in utensils, or let them carry monuments to show their repression. In Leitai Han Tomb, there are eight stone turtles in the four corners of two coffins, which means "repression", expressing the anger of the owner of Leitai Han Tomb to the unworthy descendants, and the scene is tantamount to swearing.
