Chi (chī) or Chishou is one of the nine sons of dragons in ancient Chinese myths and legends. It is a kind of dragon without horns. Its shape is often used for decoration on ancient Chinese buildings or utensils and handicrafts. Its mouth is big and its belly can hold a lot of water. It is often used to decorate drainage outlets in buildings, which is called Chishou Sanshui. Pan Chi, on the other hand, looks like he is curled up in twos and twos.

In ancient China, those with two horns on their heads were called dragons, those with one horn were called dragons; those without horns were called chi, and jade pendants often appeared in ancient times. The two dragons, big and small, are called mother and son Chi. According to legend, dragons are born in the ninth grade, which are: the eldest son is a prisoner of cattle and is good at music; the second son Yaizhen is good at killing; the third son is good at mocking the wind and is good at danger; the fourth son is domineering and good at carrying heavy loads; the fifth son is good at litigation; the sixth son is Chi. The kisses are good to swallow; the seventh son is gluttonous and good to eat; the eighth son, the golden eagle, is good at fireworks; the ninth son, the pulao, is good at screaming.
Among the nine sons of the dragon, only the fourth one, Baxia, is good at carrying heavy loads. Its body is like a turtle and its head is like a dragon. It is called the monument beast and is also known as the giant tortoise. Folks often call it the dragon turtle. Legend has it that At that time, Nuwa used her four legs to hold up the sky that was knocked down by the Japanese workers.
Because the dragon turtle is good at carrying heavy loads, it means that it can protect people from disasters and reduce disasters, play a role in building a house and build a family, and bring blessings to all living beings. The dragon in the folk is like a man. It has become the most noble mascot in the eyes of the Chinese people, symbolizing martial arts, strength, excellence and wealth. Dragons were also a common pattern on royal objects in ancient times, such as the dragon robes worn by the emperor and the dragon chairs they sat on.
