Details are as follows:
1, boss-prison cow
Qi ú niú, the eldest brother in Kowloon Middle School, loved music all his life and was the most docile of all dragons. He is neither murderous nor cruel, and specializes in temperament. Legend has it that the prisoner's ear of the bibcock snake has a wonderful sound, which can distinguish the sounds of everything. It often squats on the piano head to enjoy the music played by plucking the strings, so its statue is carved on the piano head. This kind of decoration has been used up to now, and some precious huqin heads are also engraved with the image of the dragon head, which is called "the dragon head huqin". This musical dragon son not only appeared on the Hu Qin of the Han nationality, but also on the Qin Yue of the Yi nationality, the three-stringed Qin of the Bai nationality and some Qin of the Tibetan and Mongolian nationalities.
2, the second child-artistry
The second son, Yazi, is said to have been born a leading jackal. He has a strong and aggressive personality all his life, and is the god of war in Zi Long. Yazi's fierce eyes staring up when she was angry were also used by the ancients to describe "glaring". Sima Qian's evaluation of "Fan Ju's revenge" in Historical Records is that "the virtue of a meal will be repaid, and the hatred of Yazi will be repaid", so "Yazi's revenge will be repaid" was born. It's easy to kill, so the ancients often carved it at the throat of the joint between the blade and the handle, adding awesome power. It is not only decorated on the weapons of famous soldiers in the battlefield, but also widely used in ceremonial weapons and court guards, making it more dignified and solemn. Because the emperor believed that Yazi could suppress all evil.
3. The third kind-mocking the wind
The third child, cháo fng, is doing well and has good hopes. There is a statue of him at the corner of the temple. Standing in a single line at the front end of the vertical ridge, the leader is a "fairy", followed by: dragon, phoenix, lion, Tianma, hippocampus, lynx, lynx, bullfighting and what to do. Laughing wind is the second place. They are placed in a strict hierarchy, and only the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City in Beijing can have all kinds of things. This 10 supernatural creature means "perfection", and the number of deputy halls should be reduced accordingly. Mocking the wind not only symbolizes auspiciousness, beauty and majesty, but also means to deter demons and eliminate disasters. The placement of Mockingwind makes the shape of the whole palace rigorous and changeable, achieving the harmony of solemnity and vividness, and the unity of grandeur and exquisiteness, adding a mysterious atmosphere to the towering palace.
Legend has it that mocking the wind is Pangu's heart. Its shape is often used as a decoration in the corner of a temple. Four quotes from Li Jielong () and Qian Shu: "The dragon gave birth to nine children, ... it was a close call to ridicule, right on the corner of the temple."
4, old four-not old
Panlong Pú láo, ranked fourth, has a good voice and a good roar all his life. The dragon button on the Hong Zhong is its statue. According to its "good singing" characteristics, people cast cloth wheels into bell buttons, making them "sound into the sky" and "sound alone" Today, almost every ancient clock in the country has Bran's figure.
5. Wusao
Sister-in-law (suān ní), also known as Jin Heling, looks like a lion, ranking fifth. Although he looks fierce, he likes to be quiet, sit well and like fireworks all his life, so the foot ornaments on the Buddha's seat and incense burner are his statues. According to legend, this kind of robe decorated on the Buddha's seat was introduced to China by Indians in the Han Dynasty. By the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it had been widely used in Buddhist art in China. This shape was created by China folk artists, making it have the traditional style of China. Later he became the fifth son of the dragon. Most of the places where it is arranged are in front of Buddha and Bodhisattva sitting cross-legged or cross-legged. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the dragon-shaped decoration in the middle of the collar of the stone lion or bronze lion is also an image of the lion entering the tiger's mouth, which makes the traditional China gate lion more powerful. Sister-in-law is also the mount of Manjusri Bodhisattva. Today, in Wutai Mountain, the Dojo of Manjusri Bodhisattva, there is still a temple dedicated by the ancients. Because eldest sister-in-law ranks fifth, this temple is also called "Wu Ye Temple".
6. The old six thorns (bx), also known as bullies, are shaped like turtles.
He is an old six. He has a good burden and great strength all his life. The tortoise under the pedestal is his statue. The first legend is that in ancient times, Ba Xia often carried three mountains and five mountains on his back and made waves in rivers, lakes and seas. Later, Dayu subdued it when he was controlling the water. It obeyed Dayu's command, pushed mountains and dug ditches, dredged rivers and made contributions to water control. After the flood was defeated, Dayu erected a monument to commemorate the feat of water control. The image of water control is shaped below, which shows that water control is the foundation of water control. Without water control, there would be no feat of water control. The dam is very similar to the tortoise, but there is still a difference when you look closely. Bazaar has a row of teeth, but the tortoise doesn't. The number and shape of nail plates under the dam and on the tortoise shell are also different. Bullies, also known as stone turtles, are symbols of longevity and good luck. The pedestals of some famous stone tablets in China are carried by tyrants, which can be seen in the forest of steles and some historical sites.
According to the second legend, the dragons came to earth to help Zhu Yuanzhang lay Daming Mountain, but when they wanted to return to heaven, Zhu Yuanzhang's fourth son Judy, later Ming Chengzu, didn't want them to go, so he said to Ba Xia, "If you can carry the merit tablet of Emperor Mao, I will let you go back." I didn't know if I had a plan, so I agreed. I didn't know I couldn't play anymore until I lifted it-I was crushed under the merit monument because of my boundless merits. The bully left the body and returned to heaven, but Judy only got nine statues. Judy regrets that this backfired. In order to warn future generations and avoid using those self-deception practices, it is counterproductive, and it is too late to regret.
7, the old seven-armadillo
An armadillo (bàn), also called Charter, looks like a tiger and is the old seven. It is litigious all its life, but it is powerful. The tiger head decoration on the upper part of the prison door is its statue. Legend has it that armadillos not only yearn for public interests and justice, but also dare to speak out, distinguish right from wrong and judge impartially. In addition, its image is majestic, so it is not only decorated on the prison door, but also crouched on both sides of the official residence lobby, which is very shocking to the criminals. Whenever the yamen chief is in court, there is an image on the title card and the silence card of the chief. It looks around and looks around, maintaining the solemnity and righteousness of the court. In ancient times, the head of an armadillo was engraved on the gate of the prison, so the prison was also commonly known as "Tiger Head Prison" by the people.
8, the old eight-a burden
(fu xing) He is the eighth oldest and has a good life, with a body like a dragon and a head like a lion. He is another elegant man in the dragon-he loves calligraphy.
The stone tablets on both sides of Longwen are its statues. China's inscriptions have a long history and rich contents. Some shapes are simple, smooth and bright, and light can be used as a guide. Some are exquisitely carved, with elegant words and vivid pens; There are also some famous poems and stone carvings, which are well-known throughout the ages. But she loves this inscription with artistic brilliance, and she is willing to turn it into a dragon pattern to set off these literary treasures handed down from generation to generation and decorate the pedestal more elegantly and beautifully. They are intertwined with each other and seem to be creeping slowly, which is more spectacular in coordination with the base.
9. Laojiu's Kiss
Chρwěn, also known as Wei Wei, is said to be a leading fish. Its form first appeared in the "Bailiang Hall" built by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. At that time, a minister suggested that there was a fish in the sea, and its tail looked like an owl. It can spray waves and rain, so it may be better to shape its image on the temple, which can prevent fire. Emperor Wu agreed. After the completion of the hall, ministers scrambled to ask what was on the ridge of the hall. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't know how to answer it, so he named it "the owl's tail" and gradually evolved into a homophonic "kiss". It is also said that it was introduced from India with Buddhism in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. It is something under the rain god in Buddhist scriptures, which can put out fires. So the kiss was changed, so it was placed at both ends of the roof to eliminate disasters and put out fires. Kissing mouth is wide and noisy, which is easy to swallow in life. The bibcock at both ends of the temple ridge is its statue. "Taiping Yu Lan" has the following description: "After the disaster of the Liang Temple in the Han Dynasty, the witch said,' There are fish in the sea, and the tail is like a owl, and the waves are like rain', so it is like a tail and Tired Ofthe Fire is auspicious." The "witch" mentioned in the article is the alchemist and the "fishbone" is the predecessor of kissing. Kissing is water-based and an evil thing to avoid fire.
