gluttony is the son of Jinyun, not one of the nine sons of the dragon.
Gourmet is a mysterious monster in ancient China myths and legends. Its name can be likened to a greedy person. People generally call this person a "glutton".
People often say that gluttonous patterns are common patterns on bronzes, and they are considered to depict gluttonous animal faces. This pattern appears on the jade wares of Liangzhu culture in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, but the gluttonous pattern is more common on bronzes, especially Ding Shang, as early as Erlitou Xia culture.
this decorative pattern of gluttonous grain first appeared on the jade articles of Liangzhu culture in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River 5, years ago, but it was more common on bronzes, especially on Ding, and appeared as far away as Erlitouxia culture.
However, the name "gluttonous pattern" did not exist in ancient times, but was named by Song people when epigraphy rose. The most beautiful gluttonous mask is 21. cm high and is now in the Seattle Library of the United States. This decoration usually takes the bridge of the nose as the center line and is symmetrically arranged on both sides.
Extended information:
The animal face decoration of Shang and Zhou bronzes reflected people's worship of gods at that time, so it had a mysterious and solemn atmosphere. However, there are different opinions about what these mysterious patterns represent. Bronze ware is the embodiment of the ancestors' consciousness of "respecting God" in Yin Shang Dynasty, while the Zhou Dynasty developed into "respecting heaven and legalizing ancestors", forming a trinity of religion, political power and clan power.
the rulers of Shang and Zhou dynasties used the "ferocious terror" of bronze decorations to express the "mysterious majesty" of kingship, so as to express their possession of political power, status and wealth, which was daunting. Slave owners placed all their majesty, will, glory, fantasy and hope in these horrible and ferocious ornamentation. Mr. Zhang Guangzhi also thinks that "bronze is politics and power", but he thinks that these animal patterns are not intended to intimidate, but to communicate with God.
Due to the low level of productivity in primitive society, many unexplained phenomena are attributed to the power of God. People are full of awe of the gods, begging for them, pleasing them, and dominating things with the help of divine power.
Therefore, wizards who can communicate with the gods have a very high status, and the wizard class became the original imperial ruling class. Sacrifice is the privilege of wizards, and it is also the central link to communicate between man and God and sanctify the human order. Wizards use the animals on bronzes to communicate with gods, so these strange animal patterns also represent mystery and power.
