What are the ghosts and monsters in Japan?

The legend says that in the early days of the Japanese civilization, when the people were not yet enlightened, the older generation of the people believed in the legends of the gods and monsters, and even thought that the gods and monsters were responsible for the calamities of nature, and that is why there is a strange story of a snow maiden in the snowy land. Whenever a person gets lost in the harsh environment of the snow, he is bound to meet the Snow Maiden who feeds on the popularity of the people. Moreover, the unpredictable Snow Maiden will deliberately play on the bad nature of men who are fickle and unfaithful, and she will sometimes leave a frightened human male behind and threaten him that he has to keep the "promise" to stay alive by abiding by the law of the Demon World, and that he must not tell other people about her existence and her retreat. If he doesn't, the betrayed Yuki-nee will come and take his life to teach him the law of the demon world. However, the man who wants to live will panic and beg for Yuki-nee's trust, promising to keep his promise not to tell anyone about her behavior. However, Yuki-nee, who likes to test men's character, will then disguise herself as a human woman and deliberately approach the man she made a promise to, to win his favor, and then marry him and have a child with him, to follow him for the rest of his life. Lifelong follow beside, monitoring whether the man can keep the promise, and she is safe and sound together for a lifetime to old age, but that happy dock to forget the thrilling encounters always haunted the man's doubt and fear of the heart, and finally until one day, the man was determined to meet with the snow woman to tell the truth to the closest to him around the wife, hoping that she can share his nightmares, but the man never thought that the person next to the pillow is his midnight dream! dream back in the most afraid of the dream to eat, the original he long days is with the enemy *** pillow, breaking the "promise", the snow woman had to contain Sheng? Prison P he *** child-bearing man, and sadly with the child back to the ice and snow. This ancient legend of the Snow Maiden was first recorded in the Japanese monster novel, the classical lore "Koizumi Yakumo's Strange Tales", which fully describes the cold and unfeeling nature of the monster, and uses this story of betrayal to reflect the marriage between a man and a woman who are both close and distant, as well as the woman's delicate and sensitive style of love and hate, although this ancient legend is both sad and cold, but it is full of strange anecdotes of the KB alert, the ancient morality "about the promise", and the story of the Snow Maiden. It is an old moral principle that "promises must be kept", but in today's world, how many people maintain a reverent respect for traditions and even honor them? There is also a legend that the Snow Maiden will be in the snowy wilderness to ask the traveler to help look after the child in her arms, if it is promised 。。。。

The Kappa:

Japanese folklorist Yanagida Kunio also wrote a study of the Kappa Koma (the legend of the Kappa pulling a horse into a river) in the Yamashima Folklore Collection, which says that it is shaped like a green and black monkey, with arms and legs like ducks' paws, and a saucer in the hollow on the top of its head, and that it is powerful enough to wrestle with a man or a horse, both in the water and on the land, as long as the water inside the saucer doesn't dry up. This is why there is a Japanese saying that describes a catastrophe as a "Kappa". Kappa look like human beings, but they have webbed hands and feet and are very good at swimming. In addition, the hippogriff has a turtle-like shell on its back and a slippery, transparent mucus on its skin surface, just like an amphibian. The top of the head of the Kappa is in the shape of a disk, and it is said that if the skin on this part of the head dries up, the Kappa will die, so the Kappa tends to hang out at the water's edge. Although there are rumors of Kappa in various parts of Japan, the legend of Kappa in Lake Biwa is the earliest and most authentic, and there is even a mummy of a Kappa in the nearby Azuchi-ji Temple. It is said that Lake Biwa is inhabited by different kinds of river children, some of which are of bad behavior and cause many innocent people to drown every year. These badly behaved river children will hide in the water and take the opportunity to pull on a person's feet, and then eat part of their internal organs after pulling the person into the water. Therefore, we must be careful at the water's edge in the mountains, and in case we meet a hippo, we just need to dry up the water in the water dish on its head.

Aoyagi:

Specifically, it's not a demon, but rather an act of storytelling more akin to something like The Decameron: Japan's weird stories also mostly take place on summer nights. Much of the storytelling in the traditional Japanese theater of Kabuki has its roots in the legends of strange tales, and in the Edo period (equivalent to 1603-1867 CE) there was also a game called "Hyakunomori," in which a few friends would get together in the middle of the night, light up a number of candles, and all take turns telling ghost stories to get a feel for the KB atmosphere. It is said that when the hundredth candle is extinguished, the real ghost will appear ...... So often the storytellers will have a warning in their mind that when it is their turn to tell a story, they must not be the last one, because they don't know what will happen when they finish the hundredth story. So every time they reach the ninety-ninth story, they stop immediately, and no one dares to go on, which is a ritual to collectively summon the ghosts. The origin of "Hyakki" and how it is played is described in detail in the book "Gamemaiden", written by a writer of the Edo period, Asai Shiki, and is summarized as follows: Before the game of "Hyakki" is played, all the participants are dressed in green clothes and gather in a dark room. In the room next to the dark room, blue paper lanterns are prepared and filled with enough oil, and a hundred wicks are lit and placed side by side. A small wooden table with a mirror was placed next to the lamps. After each person has taken a turn to tell a strange story, he or she must leave his or her seat and walk in the dark to the next room where the lamps are lit, and blow out one of the wicks. Then, he had to look at his own face in the mirror before returning to the dark room and being replaced by the next person. During the process of blowing out the wicks, the same strange stories continue to be told, until after the ninety-ninth strange story is finished, the last wick is left, so it is left to continue to be lit, and then everyone continues to sit around and wait for the dawn until the sun comes out, and then each person is dismissed to go home. Many people do not understand why strange stories are always told to the ninety-nine on the end, because at that time the people were very superstitious that if the hundredth strange story, what will happen to the strange things, so no one dares to touch this taboo. With the change of time, candles were used instead of lanterns, and the new rule of the game was that the last candle had to be blown out, so the Hundred Thing Game became KB's Weird Tales, and I heard that when the last candle was blown out, some strange things did happen. Toriyama Ishiyan's painting "Aojiru" is included in "Painting a Hundred Ghosts at Night", which depicts the scene of Hyakumonogatari at that time. When the Aojiru was about to be blown out, many funny and interesting stories about monsters and demons were being told in a group of people's mouths, and some people wrote them down, which is the origin of the monsters and demons Hyakumonogatari. Oh, if you want to play this game in the future, don't tell the hundredth ghost story, it will become true!

Nitta Bluff:

Nitta Bluff is a legendary demon in Fukui Prefecture. According to local residents, when they pass by a field late at night, they often suddenly notice a dark figure standing in the center of the field. This dark figure will keep shouting "Give me back my field! and throwing mud at people. This is Nudabo. Mudra is a demon with only one eye, and is not the guardian of the fields, but is formed by the ghosts of peasants who died of starvation when their fields were taken from them. The mud thrown head-on is said to be quite fishy; once you are unfortunate enough to be hit by one, the stench will last for about 3 days without fading.

Cow Ghosts:

(also known as earth spiders) Aptly named, they are monsters that are a combination of cows and ghosts, and sleep on the bottom of the sea during the day, but come ashore at night to raid people's homes, and also live in the mountains. At Kannonji Temple in Tadomaru, Fubu-gun, Fukuoka Prefecture, there is a rumor that there is a hand bone of an ox-ghost. According to the late Heian Period, the then presiding priest, Kanemitsu Shonin, "This was obtained by extinguishing a cow ghost that was disturbing the village." The most famous legend of defeating a cow ghost is at Nemuka-ji Temple in Takamatsu City, Kochi Prefecture. According to the legend, the cow ghost not only had horns on its head, but also had a face like a monkey, a body like a tiger, arms and legs like a cow, and bat-like wings under its armpits. At Nenka-ji Temple, the horns of the bull's head are still preserved and are displayed every year on June 28 of the lunar calendar, and a large statue of the bull's head, which resembles a dragon in Western mythology, has been erected on the grounds in commemoration of the legend. Legend has it that Minamoto Yoritomo, the first shogun of the Kamakura Shogunate, saw this monster when he was sick, and when it tried to approach the shogun in the guise of a mage, Minamoto Yoritomo, true to his reputation as a man who was blessed by the gods, pulled out his sword and swung it horizontally in a daze, wounding the monster, and then followed the bloodstains to find the cave of an earth spider, which was already dead! The sword that killed the ghost was henceforth called Kneecut or Onimaru Tsunade.

The Sakuton Kid:

The story of the Sakuton Kid is told in novels such as Gokachako that he was a young monk from Echigo, but because of his good looks he became jealous, and due to his many evil thoughts he was transformed into an oni. In addition, there is also the story of "the son of Ibusan Myojin (actually Yama) and Himekun of the nearby Hara clan. According to the former legend, Sakuton Boy was later expelled from the temple by a high priest who recognized his evil thoughts, thus ending his childhood. There is also a story that Sakutani Toshiko, also known as Sakuten Toshiko, was the king of the hundred devils who was killed by the Shogun Minamoto Yorimitsu, and that Yorimitsu's sword was named Yasuzuna Toshikiri, which, together with the famous sword Daidenta, is also known as the "Five Swords of the World" because of its strange origin. In the Heian period of 990, he was a famous demon that shook Kyoto. Legend has it that Sakutani, who lived on Mt. Oe in the country of Tamba, organized a group of evil spirits who built a palace made of cast iron, sneaked into the homes of the rich at night to steal their treasures, and took women and children as food for their mouths. Such things shocked even Emperor Ichijo, however, something even more terrible happened when Ikeda Nakanayan's daughter disappeared. The result of a divination by a yin and yang master was precisely that she had been captured by the ghosts of Oe-san.

The Ghost of Rashomon:

Also known as the Ibaraki Kid, the Hoshikuma Kid, along with the Sakuton Kid, are all evil ghosts that live in the Ooi Mountains, with the Sakuton Kid being their ghost king. Now Japan's domestic Oe mountains territory, there are still ghosts as the theme of the monument, the monument on the Sakutani child very image of the finger pointed at the capital, Ibaraki child and the star bear child guarding the side, majestic. The monument seems to have the meaning of warning the world. There are a lot of interesting legends about Ibaragi Kid, and in the famous ballad "Rashomon" and the kabuki "Buhashi", it is called "the ghost of Rashomon". Of course, the human protagonist this time is "Watanabe Tsunade", one of Yorimitsu's Four Heavenly Kings. The two swords used by Minamoto no Tada Mitsunaka to guard the world are called Kneecut and Hashikiri. It is said that the name of the swords comes from the fact that one of the swords attacks the knee and the other the face when attacking. Shogun Yorimitsu gave one of these swords, the Hashikiri, to Watanabe Tsunade, one of the Shitennou. One day, when Watanabe Tsunade was returning to his house from his post, he came to a bridge and saw a beautiful woman wandering around. Upon inquiry, he realized that she had newly moved to Kyoto and was staying at the Gojo residence, but was hesitant because she was unfamiliar with the road. Seeing that it was getting late, Watanabe Tsunade helped the woman to get on her horse, and the two of them **** rode towards Gojo residence. In fact, this woman is the incarnation of Ibaraki Kid, one of Sakutani Kid's subordinates. At the Gojo crossing, it appears in its original form, and when it grabs Watanabe and tries to kill him, Moustache Kiri cuts off its wrist with a flash, and Ibaraki Kid flies towards Mount Aiduo in pain. Watanabe Tsunade, who was surprised to get a wrist with only three fingers, told Yorimitsu as well as Abe Haruaki about the incident. Watanabe Tsunade presented the severed arm to Yorimitsu Minamoto, and Yorimitsu used Abe Haruaki's divination, concluding that "Watanabe Tsunade had to perform a seven-day jinx," and that the oni would come to remove the arm within seven days. Watanabe Tsunami put the severed arm in an iron box for safekeeping, and after six days, Watanabe Tsunami's adoptive mother came to visit on the evening of the sixth day, and Watanabe Tsunami welcomed her to his house, where she said that she wanted to see the wrist of the ghost. So he took out the ghost's wrist, and the mother looked at it for a long time, and then suddenly cried out, "This is my wrist!" Then she fled through the window. There are many versions of this legend, but the story of the moustache cutting off the wrist and the demon taking the form of the foster mother to trick her into taking back the wrist is probably the same. Because of this legend, Mustache got the name "Onikiri". As for Ibaraki's life, it is generally believed that he was an outcast. According to the legend, his parents were Regent Ibaraki, and because his mother was pregnant for more than sixteen months, Ibaraki was called "oni" at birth, and was disliked by everyone. Later, he was adopted by the owner of a barber store, and after a few years he grew to adult size. Once, while working, he accidentally scratched a customer's scalp, and when blood flowed out, Ibaragi Boy reached out and licked his tongue and found it to have an extraordinarily sweet taste - for which he was naturally reviled by everyone. Finally, one night he realized that his reflection in a water mirror took on the appearance of a ghost, and he obeyed the call of fate, abandoning the human world and returning to Mount Tamba. There is another story: with a face that scares people, but it is a god, it is a demon that guards the gate, but once in a while they do a little mischief and scare people half to death, they watch the gate not for people, but to bring those ghosts and monsters that trespass into the human world by mistake to the right path.

Demon Fox:

The legend of the demon fox can be said to be spread over a vast area in this soil of the East. China's nine-tailed demon fox Daji needless to say, is in the East Japan, there is also the "Tamamochi" such a demonic fox woman exists. Young, attractive women were often called "fox spirits," which was actually an alternative representation of female lust in ancient times. The story of Tamamochi: Tamamochi, a talented woman favored by Emperor Toba, was so good at seduction that she seized the emperor's essence and made him sick in bed. The spirit of the fox was transformed into a stone that killed those who touched it by mistake, and it was only through the chanting of sutras that the spirit was able to become a Buddha.

Katsushika:

The mother of the famous yin and yang master Abe Haruaki, the Katsushika Monogatari tells the poignant story of how a white fox in the guise of a beautiful woman met Haruaki's father, and then left Haruaki six years after giving birth to him. But was this actually the case? According to the Shinta Wife, Abe's father, Abe Ikisai, married a lowly entertainer at the time, and the legend of the white fox, Katsushika, solidified Abe's place in people's hearts. Of course, in reality, the so-called killing stone is not the incarnation of the demon fox, the killing stone is in the mountains of Nasu Town, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan, is a kind of poisonous stone, no matter whether it is an insect or a bird, once it comes into contact with this kind of stone will die very quickly. This poisonous stone that can kill living things. According to scientists, this poisonous stone is mostly found in the vicinity of volcanic craters, and becomes toxic due to the sulfurous acid and hydrogen sulfide gases emitted from the volcano. And some temples move it and place it as a sacred object.

Tengu:

Tengu is one of the most widely known demons in Japan. It is written in the Sankai Sutra that the tengu is a fox-like animal, and in Japan it is known as a tengu (a fox that lives in the sky). The Tengu has a large red face, a tall nose like a proboscis ape, a fan and is very tall. They live deep in the mountains and have divine and supernatural powers that make humans feel KB. With a pair of wings on his back, he can fly freely in the sky, has the strength to tear human beings into pieces, and the fan he holds in his hand can uproot many big trees with just one swing, so his power can be seen. It can do anything in the world. A statue of a tengu is still enshrined at Kuruma Temple. It is said that the Tengu abducts people who are lost in the forest, so the ancient people called the abducted children "shinjin," which means that they were hidden by the gods, as the name implies. The legend of the Tengu was later incorporated into the religion of mountain beliefs (Tendai and Shingon Tantra), and the Kamakura-era "Yeshakubo Eigaku" depicts the Tengu battling the monks of the Tendai Sect and being defeated, with a vivid and entertaining action. In this story, it is said that an army of Tengu from China came to the Japanese Tengu to ask for help, but the Japanese Tengu displayed a haughty attitude, or what is called in Japanese "self-centeredness" and "nose high". As a result, in the late Middle Ages, the tengu, which was originally portrayed as an eagle, was transformed into a "snub-nosed tengu," and it was said that mountain monks who had not yet attained a high level of cultivation and who had an arrogant attitude would be transformed into tengu after their deaths. In the later times, it was even said that the appearance of a tengu would cause great chaos in the world. It is still a mystery whether the mountain monks, who caused all sorts of incredible phenomena, are related to the legend of the Tengu.

Cat again:

A type of cat demon that is said to have two tails and can walk upright. It first appeared in the Japanese Spiritual Tales of Talking, describing a cat that died and gave birth to a fetus that turned out to be human. A cat demon is an old cat that has aged, usually appearing as an old woman, with a body roughly double the size of a human's. Larger cat demons can even grow to be the size of a calf, with their tails bifurcating into two at the end, which is written in kanji characters as "cat-shu" or "cat-yet again," meaning "cat-demon" or "cat-monster. Therefore, in order to prevent old cats from turning into cat demons, they cut off the end of the tail of their littermates, leaving only the short root, so that they would not be afraid of the cat's tail splitting and turning into a cat demon that would haunt their home. The cat demon with terrible magic power will speak in a human voice before eating breakfast, and sometimes after eating a person, it will transform into that person's flesh and wait for an opportunity to find its next prey. Usually the cat demon only attack it resent people, but if you meet more vicious temperament, more brutal means of the cat spirit, as long as the sight of people, indiscriminate, all to harm, legend has it that there is also a good cat demon, often into a young girl in order to get close to human beings, of course, the character is very gentle, like to eat fish on weekdays, the body light, like to rely on human beings, but often be hurt by human beings. Cats, civets and foxes are all animals with extraordinary powers in Japanese legend.

The Yabuya Civet:

The civet boss who lives in Shikoku has a rather large head; it is said that he has many "civets" under his command, and fights against an army of foxes just to guard the territory of Shikoku. For a long time, the civet has been known to be easy to get along with, and has gotten along well with the people who live in the mountains. In some places, the civet is worshipped as a god, just like the fox, but the civet seems to be more popular than the fox, perhaps because of its dark eye-like features, which are very pleasing to the eye. Therefore, in many folktales, the civet always plays the role of humor, fun, and has the wisdom to adapt to the situation, which is really different from the fox, who is cunning and good at cheating, and this is also the difference between the two animals in people's minds to present a different image of the difference. However, beavers do not just do some mischief. Some foxes who have been helped by human beings will, in order to repay their kindness, take the form of a woman and sell tea pots or horses, and use the proceeds to thank their benefactors (there are similar stories of foxes repaying their kindness). Whether it is to repay a favor or to play tricks, in the end, humans will recognize them, and this is the interesting part of the civet. The civet also often exhibits behaviors that make people laugh, such as lighting fires on its own, making strange noises, and stealing sake brewed at the homes of commoners, getting drunk and lying on all fours in the garden, sleeping soundly. As you can see, the civet is one of the few cute monsters in Japanese legend. According to Japanese legend, the civet has never done any harm to anyone

Shiranuma:

Shiranuma is said to appear near the Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa Prefecture on snowy evenings, and she is said to have a bloodless face, but she always appears in a snow-white kimono, with an umbrella, a walking stick, and a sake jug in her hand, and appears as a kind and gentle old woman. When a woman without make-up coincidentally meets a White Powder Granny on the road, she applies make-up viper (white powder?) from a sake pot all over her face. (white honey powder?) from a sake pot and smear it all over the woman's face. The powder is said to make the girls fairer and more beautiful, but the whole skin of the girl who has applied the powder will fall off, and the white powder woman will take the girl's skin for her own use

Washing Red Bean Woman:

There is a strange woman in the countryside, and some people call her "Washing Red Bean Woman," "Sifting Red Bean Woman," "Grinding Red Bean Woman," or "Grinding Rice Woman," and she is called by different names depending on the place. Depending on the place, they are called different names. However, there is one similarity: you can hear the sound of red beans being washed by the river. Basically, you can't see her face, but only hear her voice. Some people have seen her and said that she looks like an old woman from the back, and this has been passed down to this day. She doesn't come out to harm people, but someone once accidentally fell into a river to confirm her appearance. In this area of Kanto Koshinetsu, Japan, the saying that the strange old woman catches people with a sieve and eats them has been passed down: "Beans are ground and grinded, ground into powder and eaten, and a children's song such as "Catch a man and grind him and grind him and grind him into powder and eat him ......" has been passed down as well.

Huko:

Huko is also known as "yamahiko," both of which mean echo in Japanese. Hulko is a one-eyed, one-legged demon, always wearing a big straw raincoat; Hulko is quite shy, and when accidentally discovered, he will hurry to jump away with that one skinny little foot awkwardly, Hulko likes to play pranks on the echoes, so if there are no echoes or different echoes coming back from the mountains of Japan, then it is the Hulko that is at work.

Bone Girl:

Originally found in the works of Yakumo Koizumi. A man named Juro divorced his wife because he couldn't stand the poverty and married a young lady from a rich and powerful family and became an official. But his new life became increasingly tiresome, and he missed his wife, who spent all her time at home weaving. A year later, Juro returned home one night, and his wife did not blame him at all. The next morning, Juro woke up to find a black-haired skeleton lying next to him.

This legend probably has the sadness of an aging woman.

Ugushi no Miko:

This is a kind of ghost, which originated from the book "The Pictures of the Past and the Present" by Toriyama Ishiyan. The original name is "Ushigami," which means "to worship at the hour of the night." According to the book, at the third hour of the night (especially on dark, moonless nights), a woman with a mirror on her chest and three candles on her head goes to a large tree (or cedar tree) near the shrine and nails a cursed straw man to it to perform the ritual. Of course, this kind of thing can not be seen by people, if seen, the power will be weakened, and sometimes hurt themselves, in fact, it is a kind of both sides of the curse, I heard that the person who cast the curse, they are also prone to go crazy.

The "Daughter of the Ugly Time" is a ghost of a woman who is filled with jealousy and resentment, a woman who has been abandoned because she lost her virginity. Usually, ghosts are translucent or white in color, but the ghosts are red in color, which is why the Japanese say that the Ushi-no-no-Mikoto is usually dressed in red.

Pretty women tend to be jealous, and she will use her straw man technique to inflict misfortune on them, so it is best to stay away from Ushi-no-no-Mikoto in order to avoid getting into trouble.

It is said that the official dress of the "Lady of the Ugly Hour" is to wear a white dress, with a bronze mirror on her chest, single-toothed wooden clogs, a wooden comb in her mouth, a ring of cast iron on her head, and three candles (representing the three fires of affection, hatred, and resentment), and that she would cast spells and perform magic in the middle of the night, with a hammer in one hand and a five-inch nail in the other.

So it's scary to be resented by a woman

Doshinji Bell:

Originally seen in the Kyokushiko Nyorai Doshinji (Kyokushiko Nyorai Doshinji Temple), it is one of the most famous plays in the Nagarajo Odori (long chanting dance drama). It is also one of the most famous plays in the Chants and Dances, and is often used in humanoid joruri theater (i.e., puppet theater). The story is about a beautiful woman who dances for the monks of Doseiji Temple in a traditional "otabi" (hat) dress to celebrate the completion of the newly cast bell at the temple. In the middle of the dance, the giant bell falls down and everyone realizes that the wandering monk Anjin is hiding inside. It turns out that he had promised to marry Ching-hee but reneged on his promise. Ching-hee was so hurt by her love and hatred that she transformed into a snake, wrapped herself around the bell, and burned it down with her body and the bell. Hatred is ultimately the same.

The famous Japanese animation master Kihachiro Kawamoto has used this as a blueprint to create the story of the complaining woman, you may want to take a look.

Bonjour :

Bonjour is not the Buddhist word for wisdom, but a kind of demon in Japanese legend, or more accurately, a spirit of resentment. It is said to be an evil spirit formed by a woman's intense jealousy and resentment.

The heroine of "The Tale of Genji" is called "Rokujo Goshosho". She had a good life as the Crown Princess, but she lost her husband and fell in love with Kougen, but Kougen soon gave her a cold shoulder, so she became very bitter and became jealous of Aoikami, who was Kougen's main wife. Later, Rokujo Goshosho became Bonjouru, and it was Aoigami who made things difficult for her. ......

Maori:

Late at night, there would often be a beautifully-dressed woman standing in a cold street, and if someone passed by and asked, "What are you doing at this hour of the night? If a passerby asked, "What are you doing at this time of night?", the hairy woman would turn her head, and her entire face would be covered with black hair, making her features completely invisible! When people realized that it was the dreaded Hairy Woman and ran away in panic, she would stretch her hairs and wrap them around the neck of the person who was about to run away, strangling him to death...

Hungry Ghosts:

Hungry Ghosts have fallen into the hungry ghost path due to some sins they committed in their past lives, and are unable to eat due to their small mouths. Don't mistake their large stomachs for a full stomach, they are actually very hungry due to nutritional imbalances that cause their stomachs to swell. There are many different kinds of hungry ghosts, from those who spit out flames, to those who spit out what they eat, to those who eat feces and urine, to those who eat dead meat, to those who can't eat anything, etc. They are often pecked out of their eyes by buzzards, and their stomachs are bitten open to eat. ......

Guyu bird:

Guyu bird (also known directly as the female bird) in the "Xuanzhongji" has an account: "Guyu bird can collect people's soul qi, nowadays a cloud of lactating mother bird ...... when the people are also known as the ghost bird. "But certainly can not be compared with the incitement of the Chu wind nine birds. According to scholars, in ancient China, "nine" "ghost" two words are common. This big bird with nine human faces, whose head's leftward and rightward glances caused an awkward gait, said to be similar to that of a duck, and some strange expressions of elk in one, frequented the back gardens of palaces and brought calamity to tyrannical rule.

One of them, dripping blood to bring down disasters and take in people's souls.

They love to enter people's homes and take in their souls. Or cloud nine head, had for the dog eroded one of them, blood drops home, then there is murder."

Maternity death of the word into the. It can take people's children as its own. Two breasts in front of the chest, there are small children's homes are blood points its clothes as a record, nowadays people do not want to reveal the child's clothes, for this reason also."

Third, ugly image, ferocious temperament. Song Zhou Mi "Qidong Wild Words" said it: "body round like a fan, ten脰环簇, its head has nine, one of them alone, and blood dripping, such as the world has been told that each脰 has two wings, when the flight, eighteen wings Huohuo竟进, do not use each other, to have to fight for the folding of the injured". (脰，即脖子).

In addition, it is said that it also likes people to cut the nails, in order to learn from the people's misfortune. It would land on the house of anyone who was in trouble and chirp (Lingbiao liu xi, vol. 1)

The Gushu bird is a demon from Chinese legend, sometimes manifesting itself in the form of a nine-headed figure.

Niiguchi:

This monster also appears in famous folk tales. The location of its mouth is said to be at the top of the head, but it is correct that it grows near the back of the neck. It is even bigger than the mouth in front of it, and it can eat several times as much as it can. Normally, its mouth is covered by its hair, but when there is no one around, and there is food in front of it, it will use its hair as a tentacle and eat the food. The hair will be used as a tentacle to eat the food when there is no one around and there is food in front of them.
