Compared with other auspicious animals, such as the three-legged toad, it has many heads. Therefore, he was favored by the Jade Emperor and the Dragon King. However, he would always have diarrhea after eating too much, so one day he might defecate in the open because he couldn't help it, which made the Jade Emperor angry, so he slapped him, and the butthole was sealed.

Meng Kang noted: "The peach is pulled out, and the talisman is pulled out in one day, like a deer's tail. The one with one horn is called the sky deer, and the one with two horns is called to ward off evil spirits." To ward off evil spirits is Pixiu. According to records in ancient books, Pixiu is a ferocious beast and one of the five auspicious beasts in ancient times (in addition to dragon, phoenix, turtle, and unicorn), and is known as the beast that attracts wealth.

Legend has it that he helped the Emperors Yan and Huang in battle and was awarded the title of "Tianlu Beast", which means blessings from heaven. It is specially designed to protect the treasures of emperors and is also a symbol of the royal family. It is called "Emperor Treasure". Because Pixiu specializes in eating ferocious beasts and evil spirits, it is also called "evil spirit." Ancient Chinese Feng Shui scholars believe that Pixiu is an auspicious beast that can turn disaster into good fortune. However, there are also ancient poets who use Pixiu as a metaphor for evil. Xu Junbao, a female poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, has a poem in "Man Ting Fang· Prosperity in Han Dynasty", "Once all the swords and soldiers are raised, there will be millions of Pixiu." Pixiu is said to be a ferocious beast to symbolize the soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty. The entry for Pixiu in "Xinhua Dictionary" is ① a ferocious beast in ancient books ② a metaphor for a brave army. It can be seen that Pixiu is not necessarily an auspicious beast.
Origin

Some people say that single-horned and double-horned Pixiu differentiate between male (called Pixiu) and female (called Pixiu). Others say that they distinguish between good and evil. In short, There was a single-horned Pixiu, but now most of them are double-horned. It is hard to see a single-horned Pixiu anymore.

Legend has it that Pixiu violated the rules of heaven and was punished by the Jade Emperor to feed only on wealth from all directions. He swallowed everything without diarrhea.

It is also said that the male Pixiu is for attracting wealth and the female Pixiu is for keeping wealth. Therefore, there is also a saying that Pixiu is in pairs in collections. Coupled with its characteristic of "swallowing all things without diarrhea, it can attract wealth and accumulate treasures, and it can only enter but not exit". Therefore, in the past, casinos liked to place Pixiu statues as house guards.

The dragon gave birth to nine sons
In the process of forming its image, the dragon has embraced all kinds of strange beast images. Later, these strange beasts and elephants combined with certain characteristics of the dragon while developing the image of the dragon, forming the different sayings that the dragon gave birth to nine sons. But there is no precise record of what the nine sons of the dragon are, and who ranks first and who ranks second. There are also various opinions among the people, but they all agree. It is said that Zhu Youtang, Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty, asked Li Dongyang, the Minister of Rites, who was famous for his erudition, on a whim: "I heard that the dragon gave birth to nine sons. What are the names of each of the nine sons?" Made a list. According to Li Dongyang's list, the nine sons of the dragon are: Pa Pi, Chaofeng, Jiazui, Bixi, Jiaotu, Chiki, Pulao, Suanni and Qiuniu. However, there are far more than just these dragon sons in folklore. Biuan, Pixiu, Taotie, etc. are all said to be the sons of the dragon. In fact, the so-called dragon gave birth to nine sons does not mean that the dragon happened to have nine sons. In ancient Chinese traditional culture, the number nine often represents many things and has the supreme status. Nine is an imaginary number and a noble number, so it is used to describe dragons. If we have to choose nine sons, we should choose the nine who have the greatest influence among the people. Li Dongyang was also in a hurry to make a deal, and the list he proposed was not representative.

The leader of the animals was an "immortal" riding a bird, followed in order by: dragon, phoenix, lion, Pegasus, seahorse, Suan Ni, fish, Xie Zhi, Bullfighting, and entertainment. There is a strict hierarchical system for their placement. Only the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City in Beijing can have all ten of them, and the number of secondary halls must be reduced accordingly. Chao Feng not only symbolizes good luck, beauty and majesty, but also has the meaning of deterring demons and eliminating disasters.
Sizi Pulao
Shaped like a dragon but smaller than the dragon, it likes music and singing, and is engraved on the bell button. It is said that Pulao lives by the sea and is most afraid of whales. Whenever he encounters a whale attack, Pulao screams incessantly.

In addition, Suan Ni is also the mount of Manjushri Bodhisattva, and there is a temple dedicated to Suan Ni on Wutai Mountain, Manjushri Bodhisattva's dojo. Because Suanni is the fifth son of the dragon, the temple is named Wuye Temple, which has great influence in the local area. The dragon-shaped decoration in the middle of the collar of the stone lion or bronze lion during the Ming and Qing Dynasties is also the image of Suanni, which makes the traditional Chinese door lion guarding the door more open and majestic.

After the flood control was successful, Xia Yu let it carry up its achievements, so it carried many stone monuments in China. Basia and tortoises are very similar, but there are differences upon closer inspection. Basia has a row of teeth, while tortoises do not. There are also differences in the number and shape of the carapace between Basia and tortoises. Baxia, also known as stone turtle, is a symbol of longevity and good luck.

He was willing to turn them into patterned dragons to set off these handed down literary treasures, making the base of the stele more elegant and beautiful. They are coiled around each other and seem to be slowly squirming. Together with the base of the base, it looks even more spectacular.
Nine Sons of Chiki (chī wěn)
Chiki, also known as Owl Tail, is said to have the head of a dragon and the body of a fish. Its shape first appeared in the "Chinese Palace" built by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. "Boliang Hall". At that time, some ministers suggested that there is a fish in the sea with a tail like an owl, that is, an owl. It can spray waves and rain. You might as well mold its image on the palace to protect the palace from fire. Emperor Wu agreed. When the main hall was completed, officials rushed to ask what was on the ridge of the palace. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't know how to answer, so he named it "鸱tail" after its tail that looked like an owl. Later, it gradually evolved into the homophonic "Chi Kiss". ". It is also said that around the time of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Indian ‘Moji Fish’ was introduced with Buddhism. It is the object under the seat of the rain god in Buddhist scriptures and can extinguish fire. Therefore, the chi kiss was transformed from this, so it is often placed at both ends of the roof ridge to eliminate disasters and extinguish fires. The dragon-shaped spine-swallowing beast is Lao Jiu, with a loud mouth and a habit of swallowing all his life. The curly-tailed dragon heads at both ends of the temple ridge are his portrait. "Taiping Yulan" has the following account: "In the Tang Hui Dynasty, after the disaster in the Liang Palace of the Han Dynasty, Yue Wu said, 'There are fish and turtles in the sea, with tails like owls, and strong waves will cause rainfall.' So he made his image at the tail to show the auspiciousness of the fire." "The "Witch" mentioned in the article refers to alchemists, and "Yuqiu" is the predecessor of Chiki.
