Zhang Shan with traditional culture.

Look at Shan Hai Jing.

Osmium-Born in East Haibo Mountain, it looks like an ox, has no horns, and is big and black, but it is supported by only one foot, also called a stirrup. Osmium is a kind of evil beast, which can emit the light of the sun and the moon and make a thunderous cry.

The waves in the East China Sea have mountains, reaching 7,000 miles into the sea. There is a wild animal on it, which looks like a cow. It is pale and has no horns. When you step into and out of the water, there will be a storm. Its light is like the sun and the moon, and its sound is like thunder. Its name is Kui. The Yellow Emperor got it, with its skin as the drum and Lei Shou's bone as the branch, and it was famous in the world for 500 miles.

Yellow Bird-Mountain and Sea Classic Wild South Classic Wushan Yellow Bird: There are Wushan people and yellow birds in the west. Physician, Bazhai. The yellow bird is in Wushan, the mysterious snake.

Another note: the emperor is the emperor of heaven, and medicine refers to the immortal medicine, that is, the immortal medicine.

Ancient God Beast-Bai Ze

The beasts on Kunlun Mountain, the famous beasts, are all white, can speak human words and understand the feelings of all things, and rarely appear, unless a saint ruled the world at that time, and he came with books.

The Chronicle of Xuanyuan tells the story of Bai Ze, a god beast: "The emperor (Huang) made a hunting tour, crossed the sea to the east, climbed Mount Huan, and got the beast of Bai Ze, which was eloquent and reached the love of all things. Because asking ghosts and gods in the world. Throughout the ages, there are 1,520 kinds of people who have changed their spirits, as Bai Ze said; The emperor ordered pictures to be written for the world to see. "

The legendary beast-fierce man

He is just a horrible and disgusting villain. According to the eighteen-year record of Zuo Zhuan, "Zhuan Xu has an untaught genius. He doesn't know what to say, but he is stubborn when he says it. He is arrogant and arrogant, and the chaos in the world is called. " This hopeless villain eventually evolved into the famous ancient Warcraft after his death. "The Wild West Classic" records that "in the wild west, there are wild animals, like tiger and dog hair, two feet long, with a human face and tiger feet, a pig's mouth and teeth, and a tail of ten feet and eight feet long, which disturb the wilderness and are famous all over the world." It is already a strange and distorted image, which is not so much Warcraft as the product of failed biochemical experiments and nuclear leakage.

heavy ming bird

It is said in "The Collection of Notes" that Yao reigned for 70 years, and there was a country with accumulated virtues, offering a bird and a pair of clear words in sight. It looks like a chicken and sings like a phoenix. Hairless, fleshy wings fly. It can drive away wild animals and wolves so that evil spirits can't hurt them. Or come several times a year, or not come for several years. All the people in China are sweeping out the door and keeping their eyes open. For example, before the arrival of the Qingming bird, people in China either carved wood or made bronze statues. Because of this, the image of birds, placed between Ming households, enchanting and the like, naturally takes a back seat. So now, people carve wooden statues, make bronze statues or draw images, so now they draw chickens on the doors.

Square

In the classic of mountains and seas. There is a bird in Zhange Mountain, which is shaped like a crane, with one foot, red stripes and a white beak. It is called squaring. Overseas south longitude: "Chinese bird is in the east, clear water is in the west, and there is only one foot." And Huai Nan Zi. "Xun Shang" said that Mu Shengfang wrote. Therefore, Fang Bi is made of wood, and its shape is a bird with one foot. It doesn't eat whole grains. In Selected Works, Zhang Heng [Tokyo Fu] said: "The Chinese side ... the old father is a bird with two feet and one wing, and often makes trouble on others." "and" everything is wrong. "Ten Years Past" said: "In the past, the Yellow Emperor combined ghosts and gods and drove elephants and dragons in Shan Ye, Western Qin, and Fang Bi was harmful. Yuan Ke said that China is a phoenix and the phoenix is a sunbird, so "seeing it is wrong." Piania: "Fang Bi,

Qinglong-the patron saint of the East in Taoism

The dragon is sacred, supreme and a symbol of the emperor. It is also the representative of the east, and the five elements belong to wood. Because cyan belongs to wood, there is the saying of Zuo Qinglong and you Bai Hu. Among these 28 stars, seven stars in the east-Jiao, Kang, Bian, Fang, Xin, Wei and Ji-are used as stars. The ancients imagined them as Jackie Chan. Because it is located in the east, the five elements are colored according to yin and yang, and the east is blue, hence the name "Qinglong". There is also a saying that dragons are lustful, and when they meet cows, they give birth to Kirin, and when they meet pigs, they give birth to elephants. Another dragon gave birth to nine sons, unlike the dragon. Here's the thing: the eldest son is called prison cow: he loves music, so he often stands on the piano head. Such as Hu Qin of Han nationality and Qin Sang of Bai nationality. Ma Touqin in Mongolia may also be a variant of prison cattle. The second son's name is Chipi: He loves to kill people, so he is often put on weapons to intimidate the enemy. At the same time, it is used in ceremonial ceremonies to appear more solemn. The third son's name is Mo Chifeng: it is an animal-shaped dragon, which looks a bit like a dog. It is good at viewing, so it is often placed in the corner of the temple. It is said that it can deter demons and eliminate disasters. The first Si Er is not old: people like to growl, so they put it on the clock, mostly the image of not old. It is said that it lives by the sea, but it is very afraid of whales. Once a whale attacks, it screams in fear. Therefore, people make the wooden pestle into the shape of a whale, which makes the bronze bell particularly loud. The fifth son is a sister-in-law: shaped like a lion. It's imported, and it was introduced to China with Buddhism, so it's a bit like Buddha. It is so quiet and likes fireworks. Therefore, it is often placed on the Buddha's seat or incense burner to protect the dharma. Liuzi is a bully: also called tortoise, he looks like a tortoise. Legend has it that in ancient times, it often carried three mountains and five mountains to make waves. After being appeased by Yu Xia, he made many contributions to Yu Xia. After flood control became an attack, Yu Xia accepted its advantages and let it recover on its own. So China's stone tablets are mostly carried by it. The seventh son is an armadillo: also known as the Charter, it looks like a tiger. According to legend, it upholds justice and can distinguish right from wrong, so it is placed on the top of the sign of silence and avoidance when officials patrol, so as to maintain the awe-inspiring atmosphere of the court. The eighth son is a burden: because he loves literature, he put it in two stone tablets. Mozi is a kiss: also known as fish-shaped dragon, with a tail. According to legend, it was introduced from India with Buddhism around the Northern and Southern Dynasties. It is something under the rain god in Buddhist scriptures, which can put out fires. So the kiss was changed, so it was placed at both ends of the roof to eliminate disasters and put out fires. China ancient legend: A dragon gave birth to nine children.

Li Dongyang's "Huailu Hall Collection": "Nine sons were born in a dragon, not Yi Long, and each has his own strengths.

A prison cow has good music all his life. Today, the beast carved on Hu Qin's head is his portrait.

Yazi (pronunciation: tooth character) is easy to kill all his life. Today, the dragon swallowing mouth on the hilt is his portrait;

Mocking a phoenix is a close call in my life, and all the animals in the corner of this temple are portraits of it;

Singing all my life is not old, it is the portrait of the beast button on this clock;

Sister-in-law (sound: sour Ni) has been sitting well all her life. Today, the lion in the Buddha's seat is his portrait.

Overlord, a good burden in life, this monument beast is its portrait;

Armadillo (sound: completing a case) is always ready to go to court, and the lion's head on the prison door is his portrait;

After a long time (sound: bi), he was a good writer all his life, and the dragon characters on both sides of this monument are his portraits;

Kiss is easy to swallow in life, and the head of this temple ridge animal is its portrait.

White Tiger

God of war, god of war. Tigers have many magical powers, such as avoiding evil, praying and punishing evil, promoting good, getting rich and getting married, etc. And it is one of the four spirits, and of course it is also changed from the stars. Among these 28 stars, there are 7 in the west: osmium, building, stomach, ang, bi, Gou and Shen. Therefore, it is the representative of the west, and its whiteness is due to the west. The five elements belong to gold and the color is white. So it is called white tiger not because it is white, but because it comes from five elements.

Note: "Changyang County Records" records: "Lin Jun was born in Chidong and died in Baihu. The traces are bizarre and natural. Lin Jun looked at the rock and sighed, and the cliff collapsed; Its contribution to water will be more; And the death of Yan Jun, the white tiger of God, is also smooth. " "When the Ba people turned to the monarch, they turned into white tigers: White Tigers, located in the East Village of Yuxiangkou, Changyang, opposite to Qinglong Temple, left of the village. Wei Shiyan, looking at the tiger, used to refer to the place where the monarch turned into a white tiger, so Yuxiakou East Village was called the White Tiger Dragon. " Just like the legend that Gun and Yu became yellow bears, it is impossible for the leader of Ba people to become a white tiger after his death. The theory of turning into a white tiger reflects the worship of the white tiger by the Ba people. Ba people worship the white tiger, which is also a true reflection of animal geography. In ancient times, there was indeed a rare animal, the white tiger. Shan Hai Jing and Xi Shan Jing said, "Yushan ... is full of white wolves and white tigers." There are two records of catching white tigers in ancient books, one in the second year of Shi and the other in Nanjun.

rosefinch

In China, the phoenix is a symbol of happiness. There are many kinds of prototypes. Such as golden pheasants, peacocks, vultures, mandarin ducks, blackbirds (swallows), etc ... Some people say it is a Buddhist Dapeng golden winged bird. According to the phoenix myth, the phoenix has a chicken's head, a swallow's chin, a snake's neck, a fish's tail and five-color stripes. There are five kinds of phoenixes, divided by color: Red Phoenix, Lan Fenghuang, White Swan and Rayna Sue Phoenix, which can also be called Suzaku or Blackbird. Suzaku is one of the four spirits, and like the other three spirits, it comes from the stars, which is the general name of the seven nights in the south: well, ghost, willow, star, Zhang, wing and bird. Think of it as Suzaku. Scarlet, like fire, the south belongs to fire, hence the name Phoenix. It also has the characteristics of being far from fire, also called fire phoenix, just like the immortal birds in the west.

Note: Taiping Yulan (Volume 88/KLOC-0)/River Map states: "In the south, God's name is Chi [Huopiao] nu, and he is an excellent Zhu bird." Chu ci Swear: "Flying Suzaku is the Pioneer" Wang Yi Note: "Suzaku God Bird is my forerunner". According to this, Suzaku is a divine bird that guides the souls of the dead to heaven. Mountain view of Shan Hai Jing Nan Ci: "There is a bird in Dan Snow Mountain ... It looks like a chicken, colorful and elegant, and is called the Phoenix. The first article is that the second article is Yi ... It is a bird that eats naturally, sings and jumps, and the world will be peaceful when it is seen. " It can be seen that Suzaku is an auspicious bird.

turtle

Xuanwu is a spiritual thing composed of turtles and snakes. Xuanwu originally meant Xuanming, and the ancient sounds of Wu and Ming are interlinked. Wu means black; Ghost means yin. At first, Xuan Ming described the turtle divination as follows: the turtle's back is black, and the turtle divination first invited the turtle to ask questions in the underworld, brought back the answers and showed them to the world in the form of divination. Therefore, the earliest Xuanwu is the tortoise. Since then, the meaning of Xuanming has been expanding. Turtles live in rivers, lakes and seas (including turtles), so Xuan Ming became a water god; The tortoise lives long, and Xuan Ming has become a symbol of immortality; It turns out that the underworld is in the north, and Oracle Bone Inscriptions's divination in the Shang Dynasty is "divination must go north", so Xuan Ming became a northern god again.

Turtles live in rivers, lakes and seas (including turtles), so Xuan Ming became a water god; The tortoise lives long, and Xuan Ming has become a symbol of immortality; The first underworld was in the north. In the Yin and Shang Dynasties, Oracle Bone Inscriptions divined that "divination will point to the north", so Xuan Ming became a northern god again.

Like the other three spirits, they are also derived from stars: bucket, ox, female, air, danger, house and wall.

The ancients explained Xuanwu as follows: 1/ "Xuanwu" means tortoise. "Book of Rites. Quli Shang says: "OK, there are Zhu birds in front, then Xuanwu ..."/"Xuanwu" is a tortoise and snake. Supplement to Hong Xingzu's Songs of Chu: "Xuanwu is called tortoise and snake. Located in the north, it is called Xuan. With a scale, it is called martial arts. 3/ Xuanwu is a combination of snakes, turtles and snakes. " "Selected Works" Volume 15 Zhang Heng's "Four Fu Xuan" said: "Xuanwu leaves a shell, and the snake twists and turns. Shan Li said, "The tortoise and the snake met in Xuanwu. The Book of the Later Han Dynasty Wang Liangchuan Hong Fu says: Wang Liang is the master of Xuanwu. "Li Xian said: Wu Wu, the god of the north, is a combination of tortoise and snake."/Xuanwu is the water god, the god of the north. " Wang Liangchuan in the later Han Dynasty: "Xuanwu is the name of the water god." Rebuilding the Integration of Weft Books "Volume 6" The Emperor of the River Map ":"Born in Xuanwu, north of the town, the main wind and rain. 」

However, Xuanwu was upgraded by later Taoist priests to the Northern Emperor-Emperor Zhenwu. Different from the other three spirits. Other green dragons and white tigers only became the gatekeepers of the mountain temple, and Zhu Bird became the Xuan Nv of another day.

Xuanwu gained value in the Song Dynasty and was personified. This is inseparable from the help of the emperors of the Song Dynasty. In the early Song Dynasty, Zhenwu and Tian Peng were legendary generals in heaven. In the first year of Tianxi, something happened in the military camp. In the seven-year book The Origin of Things: "Some soldiers saw a snake, and the sergeant built a real martial arts school because of it. In April of the following year, the spring hall was endless, and the sick people drank more. When Zhenzong heard about this, he wrote a letter to build a view at the scene and named it "Xiangyuan". This is probably the earliest Zhenwu Temple in China.

The story of Zhenwu Emperor is often said by later generations that when Yang Di was in the reign of Yang Di, the Jade Emperor reincarnated one of his three souls to Empress Lezheng, who was tired of the world and gave up his post to practice in Wudang Mountain, successfully ascended to heaven and defended the north, and lived in Xuanwu, posthumous title.

A person who loves ...

A magical classic? "Southwest Famine Classic": "There are people in the southwest, with hair on their bodies and tapirs on their heads. Greed, such as malicious evil, don't have to collect money, good at robbing people's food (the original two sentences "good from collecting money, don't eat people's valley", according to "Historical Records? Biography of Five Emperors: Introduction and Reform of Justice). The strong take the old and weak, and are afraid to attack the single, which is called gluttony. Spring and Autumn Annals is a gluttonous person, and Jinyun is also a talented person. "

Zuozhuan? In the eighteenth year of Wengong, it goes: "Jinyun's family is incompetent, gluttonous and delicious, taking bribes with goods, invading luxury and not bothering;" Accumulate facts and don't know the truth; No matter who is widowed, there is no pity. People in the world are more fierce than three, which is called gluttony. "This is the so-called nerve in the Spring and Autumn Annals.

"Lu Chunqiu? "The First Knowledge" says: "There is gluttony in samsara and Kubinashi's body. Eating without swallowing is harmful to his health. " Song Lomi, History of the Road? "The Legend of Chiyou" said: "The God of the sky, Chiyou, has a good appearance, and three generations of foreign weapons are as many as Chiyou, which is a warning for those who are greedy and abusive. Its image rate is animal-shaped, with rich meat wings. "If you slap what you say, you are almost greedy.

Zuo Zhuan says that gluttony is "Jinyun is not a gifted scholar", but "Historical Records"? Jia Yue said, "Jinyun's surname is Jiang, a descendant of Emperor Yan. When the Yellow Emperor was an official in Jinyun. "Ginger human-god, is also the offspring of Yan emperor (Shi Daochang? Biography of Chiyou), so Chiyou is probably the "incompetent" gluttony of Jinyun. Shan Hai Jing again? Guo Pu pointed out that the "bird" recorded in the Second Classic of Bates is the "gluttony" in Zuo Zhuan.

Attachment: Zhang (numbered bird): Shan Hai Jing? "Three Classics of the North": "There are beasts in the mountains of Wu Gou ... they are shaped like sheep's body and face, with eyes under their armpits and claws like babies. They are called" birds "and are cannibals." Guo Pu's note: "For the greed of things (for the forest), people are inexhaustible, and it is also harmful. For example, in Ding Xia, the so-called Zuo Zhuan is gluttony. "

Female rhinoceros

There are many gems on the mountain where we pray, and there are many rhinos and elephants at the foot of the mountain. The Southern Classics at home and abroad also said: "You are buried in Shun, and Hunan is in the south. It is shaped like a cow, black and sharp. "

Guo Pu notes: Rhinoceros is like a buffalo, but it is also like a buffalo, blue, 10 cents, and weighs 1,000 kilograms.

Dark unicorn:

Kirin is one of the four famous spirits in China traditional culture. It is an auspicious animal, advocating peace and longevity.

"Kirin" takes "deer" as the radical. When the ancients coined the word, they clearly told people that Kirin evolved from deer, but it was by no means a deer, with more parts and equipment than deer. Kirin's forehead has dragon-like horns, deer's body, horse's legs and cow's tail. Its body is colored and its abdomen is brown. It can't walk on flowers and grass, and it is vegetarian.

Kirin is recorded in many ancient books, such as Shan Hai Jing, Historical Records, Lun Heng and so on. "In the fourteenth year of Gengshen, Luxi won the forest, and Confucius made the Spring and Autumn Period." It is a very famous legend. Among them, Kirin will not only be discovered, but also killed by an arrow ... Obviously, it is not a product of faith. It seems that in ancient times, although Kirin was rare, it was not a "monster". But with the passage of time, the true colors of Kirin have gradually disappeared in the long river of history.

Beast of Ming Kai

The deficiency of Kunlun Mountain at sea is in the northwest, under the emperor. Kunlun Mountain is 800 li high, while Wan Ren is high. There are trees and grass on the ground, and it is five times long and five times big. And there are nine wells, with jade as the threshold. There are nine doors on the surface, guarded by enlightened beasts, and God is there. At the time of Bajiaoyan and Chishui, no one can climb Shanggang Rock except the benevolent. Chishui leaves the southeast corner and heads northeast. The river flows from the northeast corner to the north, to the southwest into the Bohai Sea, and overseas, that is, in the west and north directions, into the Jishi Mountain led by it. Ocean water and black water come out from the northwest corner, and enter the sea in the east, east, northeast and south, and Yumin South. Weak water and clear water flow out of the southwest corner, east, north and southwest, and cross the Bifang Bird East. The south of Kunlun is 300 meters deep. There are nine enlightened beasts, all with human faces, standing in the east of Kunlun Mountain.

The enlightened beast is an animal selected by Xuan Si and Wang, not found in Heaven. For 3D games, it is not easy to perform well. Wu beast is the heavenly beast guarding Kunlun Mountain. According to some people, Wu beast and Lu Wu are the same thing. According to research, the "weak water" here is actually the Daotang River in Qinghai Province today.

Ying Zhao

The mountain of Huaihe River. When the top of the hill is full of water, the northbound water flows into drowning. Among them, gold, green and yellow are abundant, and Ji Lang, gold and jade are abundant. The other is to collect more gold and silver. In fact, it is only the flat garden of the emperor, managed by the God Ying Zhao. Like a man with a face and a horse, a bird with a wing and a tiger, it is popular all over the world and sounds like pomegranate. Looking at Kunlun in the south, its light is blazing and its soul is shining.

Ying Zhao is a monster in the labyrinth of heaven. It is a combination of horse, human, tiger and bird, and its shape is basically the same as that described in the scriptures. The Chinese and English strokes in The Classic of Mountains and Seas are the sacred animals guarding the Yellow Emperor's pasture, and it is perfect to appear in heaven.

Immortals are also graded. There are: fairy, fairy, ghost fairy.

Fairy: Not Liu Tianxian or Sister Fairy. My own estimation, probably equivalent to the jade emperor dragon king and so on, born immortal, immortal, boundless magic. Strangely, the God-making movement produced a Jade Emperor and a Queen Mother of the West, and threw away Nu Wa's Houyi. As a result, Nu Wa didn't know where to practice, and Hou Yi's wife Chang 'e went to the moon to raise a small white face because she didn't have a professional title.

Fairy: It's probably cultivated by people, or some kind of demon, which shed its body and fetus. You can live forever, but you have no power. Zhenyuanzi (a stingy fairy with a ginseng fruit tree in the backyard of The Journey to the West) is the ancestor of the fairy. There is also an old gentleman who is more stingy. If the Monkey King has been practicing in bodhi bodhi bodhi ancestor, he must be a fairy in the end.

Ghost Fairy: After death, the evildoer goes up the mountain in the oil pan. Where are the good guys? Let him be a fairy. It is a mountain god, a land and a city god. That is, the servants of the gods. Very pitiful. Journey to the West is full of places where mountain gods are bullied by monsters. Hon Hai beat the Monkey King by moving mountains, so he made a wish to Taishan God, rebuilt his temple, and then made a golden body. Poor Taishan God, the statue of the Five Mountains, was bought by his house and clothes. It can be seen that the life of the immortals is very poor.
