What are the auspicious beasts in the ancient legends of China?

The legendary auspicious animals have their own opinions. Here are the five famous auspicious animals in China: dragon, phoenix, tortoise, unicorn and brave.

1. The Oriental Dragon, a totem of the Chinese nation since ancient times, has the meaning of the throne. In China after ancient times, those with double horns were called dragons, and those with single horns were called jiao; The horned ones are stingers. In ancient times, there were often large and small Ssangyong in Yu Pei, which were called mother-child stingers. Legend has it that the dragon gives birth to nine products, namely: the eldest son jails cattle with good music; The second son is easy to kill; The third son had a narrow squeak; The four sons are good at bearing the burden; Wuzi is litigious; Six children kiss and swallow well; Seven sons are gluttonous for food; Eight sons of gold are good fireworks; Nine-child pu prison sounds good. Among the nine dragons, only the four sons are good at bearing heavy loads. They are like turtles in appearance and dragons in head, and they are called stele beasts. They are called dragon turtles by the people. It is said that Nu Wa used her four feet to prop up the sky that was knocked down by workers. Because the dragon turtle is good at carrying loads, it means that it can stop disasters and reduce disasters for people, and it has the function of revitalizing the family and protecting all beings. In folk, the dragon is a metaphor for a man. At present, it has become the most distinguished mascot representative in the eyes of Chinese people.

Fierce and mighty, it is responsible for the patrol work in the sky to prevent monsters, plagues and diseases from disturbing the heaven. It is an ancient auspicious beast with a single horn and a double horn. The one-horned one is called Tianlu, and the two-horned one is called to ward off evil spirits.

3. Phoenix, the "king of birds", is also the most famous lucky bird in ancient China. The prototype of the chicken in the zodiac is Phoenix, which was originally masculine, and was also called the sun bird. It also has the characteristic of regaining its weight from the fire, so it is also called the fire phoenix, just like the immortal birds in the west. According to the records of ancient books, phoenix is a beautiful bird, and with its singing and manners as the king of birds, it can bring auspiciousness to the world, but also has? It's not the special spirituality that phoenix tree doesn't live, bamboo doesn't eat, and it's not the special spirituality that Liquan doesn't drink, but because it is? The length of the feather worm, so and? In the legend, the dragon with the length of scale worm gradually became a pair, one with variety and one with beautiful virtue, which became a complementary pair in folk customs. Moreover, because the dragon symbolizes the supreme yang, the phoenix (the phoenix is the male and the female is the phoenix), which was originally divided into yin and yang, gradually became the representative of pure yin after being opposite to the dragon.

Legend has it that Kirin is a virtuous and benevolent beast, with gentle personality, no insects, no grass, horns on its head and raw meat on its horns.
