Legends of ancient mythical beasts in the ancient oriental civilization
() [The reason why this ancient oriental beast post is made is that there will be twelve types in the book, that is, the corresponding twelve true spirit stars, and the twelve dazzling star dots emitted by the true spirit tower star array, and the Sumeru crystal ball can be identified.]
1, Bai Ze
Bai Ze is an animal in Chinese legend. It is often regarded as a symbol of the ruler with high moral character.
The divine beasts on Kunlun Mountain, the famous mountain beasts, are snow-white all over, can speak human words and understand the feelings of all things, and rarely appear. Unless a saint ruled the world at that time, they came with books.
"The Original Record of Xuanyuan" has a story about the divine beast Bai Ze: "(Huang) Emperor toured the sea east and climbed Mount Huan, and obtained the divine beast Bai Ze on the seashore, able to speak and achieve the feelings of all things. He asked about the affairs of ghosts and gods in the world. Since ancient times, there have been 1,520 kinds of people who have changed their souls. Bai Ze said it; the emperor ordered it to write it in pictures to show the world."[1]
Legend has it that Bai Ze has a picture of "Bai Ze Jing Wei".
2, Kui
Kui (pinyin: kui, pronunciation: ㄎxㄱˊ, medieval pinyin: gyi) was born in Liubo Mountain in the East China Sea. Its shape is like a cow, has no horns, is huge and dark, but it only supports one foot, also called the one-legged Kui. It was passed down to the legend of the Shang Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty, with an animal similar to a dragon. Its image is mostly one horn, one foot, the mouth is opened, and the tail is rolled up. Kui patterns are often explained on bronze ware such as bells, tripods and Yi utensils. It looks like Kui, and there is only one foot. It is said that Huangdi killed Kui according to the instructions of the Nine Heavens Xuannv and made a war drum with its skin. [2]
It is said that Kui is an evil beast that can emit light like the moon, and its sound is like thunder. It is said that it is the mount of the Thunder God.
3, Phoenix
The phoenix is male and the phoenix is female. It is a mysterious animal and the king of all birds in Chinese mythology; it is also called vermilion bird, elixir, firebird, fern chicken, etc. In Western mythology, it is also called firebird and immortal bird (but the phoenixes in Eastern and Western cultures have essential differences). Its image is generally a flamingo with a longer tail and a fire all over the body. It is probably evolved by people using mythology to process flamingoes. In mythology, it says that every time a phoenix dies, it will ignite a big fire all over its body, and then it will be reborn in the fire and gain a stronger vitality than before, which is called "phoenix Nirvana". In this way, the phoenix gains eternal life, so it has the name "immortal bird".
Like the unicorn, the phoenix is a general term for male and female. The male is a phoenix and the female is a phoenix. It is collectively called the phoenix. Therefore, the word phoenix is a synthetic word structure. The phoenix is flying together, which is a symbol of auspiciousness and harmony. Like the image of a dragon, it becomes more complex as it goes backwards, with the horoscope head, a horned buttock, a snake's neck, a fish tail, a turtle body, a swallow's chin, and a chicken's mouth. Since ancient times, the phoenix has become an important part of the Chinese nation's culture.

According to the 18th year of Wengong Wen of "Zuo Zhuan", "Zhuanxu had a man who was not talented and could not teach him a lesson. If he did not know how to speak, he would be stubborn. If he gave up, he would be arrogant and ruthless. He would be arrogant and ruthless, and to disrupt the heavens. The people of the world were called the sage." After his death, this evil man who could not teach him eventually evolved into a famous ancient monster. The "Shenyi Jing·Xihuang Jing" records that "there are beasts in the Western wilderness, which looked like a tiger and dog hair, two feet long, with a human face, tiger feet, pig's mouth teeth, and a tail of one or eight feet long. It was called the sage."
6, Xie Zhu

It has a high level of wisdom and understands people's words and knows people's words. It has a wide eyelid, can distinguish right from wrong, can recognize good or evil, and loyalty. When it finds evil officials, it touches him with its horns and then eats it. It can distinguish right from right or wrong, and is also known as a divine sheep.

It is said that if the horn is broken, it will die, and some are seen with wings, but most of them have no wings. It has high wisdom and can understand people's words.

The roar of the dragon (i.e. the roar of the sky) on the top of the Huabiao pillar roars towards the sky, which is regarded as uploading the will of heaven and placing people's sentiments.

8. Chongming Bird
Chongming Bird is a divine bird in ancient Chinese mythology. Its shape is like a chicken and its crowing sound is like a phoenix. This bird has two eyeballs on both eyes, so it is called Chongming Bird, also known as Chongming Bird. It has great strength and can fight against fierce beasts and eliminate disasters such as monsters. In the old New Year customs, sticking chickens on doors and windows is actually the legacy of Chongming Bird.
In "Shi Yi Ji", it is said that Yao was reigned for 70 years and had a country with accumulating branches. He offered a Ming bird. He was a double-clear word in his eyes. He looked like a chicken, cried like a phoenix. He removed his feathers and flew with his flesh wings. He could chase beasts and wolves, making evil and evil that could not harm. Sometimes he came several times in 365 days, and sometimes he did not come all year round. The Chinese people swept the doors to keep Chongming. For example, when the Chongming bird had not arrived, the Chinese people either carved wood or made bronze statues. For this image of the bird, placed between the Ming households, the demons and the like would naturally retreat.
9, Bi Fang
The sign of fire in ancient Chinese legends. Bi Fang's name comes from the crackling sound when bamboo and wood burns. It is the God of Fire and the God of Wood, and lives in the trees. Bi Fang looks like a red-crowned crane, but only one leg (some say it is only one wing), the body is blue, with red spots, and the beak is white. Bi Fang does not eat grains and swallows flames. It is said that Bi Fang's appearance indicates a big fire. It is said that when Huangdi gathers ghosts and gods on Mount Tai, he rode a chariot led by a dragon, while Bi Fang serves next to the chariot
In "Shan Hai Jing·The Three Classics of the West", there is a bird in the Zhang'e Mountain, which is shaped like a crane, with one foot, with red se patterns and white beaks. It is called Bifang. "Overseas South Classic": "Bifang bird is in the east, and the west of Qingshui, with only one foot." In "Huainanzi·Shishou", it says that wood produces Bifang. Therefore, it says that Bifang is transformed by wood, and the shape is bird, one foot, and does not eat grains. "In Wenxuan·Zhang Heng [Tokyo Fu]" says: "Bifang... The old father god is like a bird, with two feet and one wing, and often holds fire to cause troubles in others." And "Han Feizi·10" says: "Bifang... The old father god is like a bird, with two feet and one wing, and often holds fire to cause troubles in others."
"In the past, Huangdi combined ghosts and gods on the western Qin Mountain, driving an elephant cart and dragons, and Bifang was damaged. Yuan Ke said that Bifang was a phoenix, and the phoenix was a sun bird, so "when it was seen, it had a false fire." "Pianya": "Bifang is a firebird." The phoenix is a god, and it is also a symbol of disaster. "Huainanzi·Benjingxu": "At the time of Yao... the strong wind caused harm, Yao sent Yi... to the wind in Qingqiu Lake." The strong wind was a big phoenix. "Huainanzi" "wood produces Bifang" is influenced by the five elements of thought, which means wood produces fire. Because Bifang is a firebird, Bifang is used instead of Bifang, which does not refer to Bifang being born in wood.
10, Taotie
Taotie, pronounced as taotie, is the fifth son of the legendary dragon, and is an imagined mysterious monster. The ancient book "Shan Hai Jing" introduces its characteristics: the body of a sheep, eyes are under the armpits, tiger teeth and human claws, a big head and a big mouth. It is very greedy and eats whatever you see. Because of eating too much, it is finally overwhelmed. Later, the greedy person is called "Taotie". There are related images in games, novels, comics, and film and television works.
"Shenyi Jing·Southwest Waste Sutra": "There are people in the southwest, with many bodies and hairs, and pigs on their heads. Greedy is like ruthlessness, accumulate wealth but does not use it, and is good at robbing people's grains (the original work of the first two sentences "I like to accumulate wealth by myself, but do not eat human grains", and it is revised according to the "Records of the Grand Historian: The Five Emperors' Records"). The strong seize the old and the weak, fearing the strong and hit the single, and they are called Taotie. "Chun Qiu" Taotie is an ingenious man from the Jinyun clan."
"Zuo Zhuan·The Eighteenth Year of Wengong" says: "The Jinyun family has a man who is not talented, greedy for food, risk bribery, invades and worships extravagance, and cannot be disgusted with it; gathering and accumulating solidity, and does not know how to record the extreme; not distinguishing the lonely and the widow, and not caring about poverty. The people in the world compare the three evil deeds, which is called Taotie." The "Qiu·Xianshi" says: "The Autumn and Xianshi" says: "The Autumn and Xianshi have a head but no body, and the food has not been eaten, and it harms its body." The note of "Lu Shi·Chhiyou" by Song Luobi said: "The god of the heavenly talisman is not in constant shape. The three generations of Yi u are mostly the image of Chiyou, which is the guise of greed and abusers. The image is basically in the shape of an animal, and the wings of flesh are given." Judging from what he said, it is probably Taotie.
"Zuo Zhuan" calls Taotie "a talented man from Jinyun", and "Records of the Grand Historian: The Basic Annals of the Five Emperors" quotation Jia Xuan: "Jinyun family is the surname Jiang, and the Miao descendant of Yan Emperor was the official in Jinyun during the time of Huangdi." The Jiang surname of Chiyou is also the Miao descendant of Yan Emperor (Lu Shi·Biography of Chiyou), so Chiyou is likely to be the "non-talented man" Taotie of Jinyun. Also, the "roe deer (named bird)" recorded in "Shan Hai Jing·Biography of Beici Second Class", Guo Pu's note is the Taotie in "Zuo Zhuan".
Attachment: Roe deer (named bird): "Shan Hai Jing·Beijing San Jing": "The mountain in Gouwu... there is a beast, which looks like a sheep's body and human face, its eyes are under the armpits, tiger teeth and human claws, and its sound is like a baby. It is called Roe deer (named bird), which is a man-eating person." Guo Pu's note: "It is a greedy thing (Guo Forest), and it has not eaten enough, but it still harms its body, like in Xia Ding, "Zuo Zhuan So-called" Taotie is."
