What kind of beast is Bai Ze?

Bai Ze is a god beast with a high status in ancient China mythology, a symbol of good fortune, and a auspicious beast. Bai Ze can also speak human words, understand the feelings of all things, and know the appearance of all things in the world. "Bai Ze Map" says: The sheep has horns at the top, and the dragon is killed. Bai Ze is a lion with two horns and a goatee.

Bai Ze claimed to know astronomy above and geography below, but in fact he knew very little. Understand the future through the past. It can also be said that people made a picture of ghosts and gods at the request of the Yellow Emperor (also known as "Bai Ze Ghost Map"), which contained 1520 kinds of ghosts and gods.

Legend of Bai Ze.

Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor once swam eastward to the seaside. When he stopped, a monster suddenly appeared in the sea and set off a huge wave. The Yellow Emperor and his entourage were so afraid that they pulled out their spears. And this monster is Bai Ze, the first Swiss beast through the ages. He can talk and know all monsters between heaven and earth. The Yellow Emperor asked all the ghosts and demons in the world, and Bai Ze came one by one, with 11,520 kinds, which can be solved. The Yellow Emperor ordered people to draw all the monsters mentioned by Bai Ze, so there was a map of Bai Ze.
