Source: Liu Tang Zongyuan's Three Commandments and Donkeys in Guizhou said that there were no donkeys in Guizhou, and someone brought one from other places to graze in the mountains. The tiger saw that the donkey was a monster and thought it was a god, so he dodged. Later, he approached and teased him. The donkey was furious and kicked the tiger. The tiger saw through the donkey and ate it.
