"Shan Hai Jing" records: "There are monsters on Qingqiu Mountain, like foxes and Kyubi no Youko." In the pre-Qin period, the nine-tailed fox was considered auspicious. For example, Dayu's wife, the woman who painted rocks, is a nine-tailed fox. The Northern Song Dynasty demonized the nine-tailed fox, and the Qing Dynasty directly turned into a negative animal, such as da ji.
Second, Qiong Qi.
There are four kinds of beasts recorded in Shan Hai Jing, namely, Yao, chaos and gluttony, all of which represent fierceness. In the traditional culture of China, Qiong Qi is an evil god in the shape of a wing tiger, which can be described as restraining the good and promoting the evil, encouraging those who do bad things and cracking down on those who do good things.
Third, the dragon turtle.
In Shan Hai Jing, it is recorded that the four ancient beasts, Kirin, Phoenix, Huanglong and Dragon Turtle, all represent auspiciousness. According to legend, the dragon turtle is born of dragons and is a very important spirit beast, which can ward off evil spirits, dispel evil spirits and protect the family.
Fourth, chaos (also known as Di Jiang)
Di Jiang was an ancient bird of God in China, which was described in detail in the second volume of Shan Hai Jing, Xishan Jing and Three Classics of Xici. This bird has six feet and two pairs of wings, but it has no face and glasses, but it can distinguish between song and dance. This is amazing!
Fifth, long right
In the description of Shan Hai Jing, Changyou is actually a four-eared long-armed monkey. "Shan Hai Jing Nan": "There is a beast, which looks like, and has four ears. Its name is long and correct, and its voice is like a song. When you look at it, the county seat is flooded. " Once it appears, it means there is a flood and it is a disaster!
