Appearance and morphology

A brave man is like a tiger and leopard, with a dragon-shaped head and tail, a golden color like jade, a pair of wings on his shoulders that can't be unfolded, a corner on his head and a backward tilt.

Many people think that the fearless animal now is the giant panda. According to Records of the Five Emperors, more than 4,000 years ago, the Yellow Emperor tamed animals such as tigers, leopards and brave pandas, and defeated Emperor Yan in Hanquan (now Zhuolu County, Hebei Province).

Seeing the monster is a mythical animal, so there is no real image to be based on, and it can only rely on the imagination of painters and artists, so the images of monsters are different and varied. After the change of dynasty, the mythical animals were relatively uniform in shape, such as short wings, double horns, curly tail and mane, which were often connected with the chest or back, with prominent eyes and fangs.

The more popular shape is that there are one or two horns on the head, long manes are rolled all over the body, some have wings and curly tail hair. Jade carvings are generally prone, some with jade money in their mouths and some lying on jade money. People like to tie jade money in their mouths with red lines, or tie ropes to the tails of animals to play with.
