What are the real beasts circulating in the history of the world?

The top ten beasts in ancient times refer to monsters in Han myths and legends. These ten animals are Bai Ze, Emperor Yan, Phoenix, Kirin, Yao, Emperor Yan, Ming Bird, Gluttony, Yao and Yao. From Shan Hai Jing, Huai Nan Zi and other works. Not just ten quantities. But there are no ten fierce beasts, all created by fantasy novel himself. China ancient beasts refer to the creatures represented by the above six ancient beasts, which are recorded in China's ancient books. These creatures come and go without a trace, but China's classical books and legends often say that the modern general scientific view is that these beasts are the images of animals in reality. Some ancient gods and beasts played an important role in China's divination, especially Taoist magic and Liu Yi. There are 9 big beasts in the history of China, which are divided into 5 big beasts and 4 big beasts. The five auspicious beasts "Rui" means good luck; Swiss beast is an auspicious animal. The worship of the Swiss beast shows the simple desire of the ancient working people in China for peace and happiness. Totem worship of auspicious animals is a kind of worship and awe to the relatives, ancestors and protectors of primitive people, and it is the earliest cultural phenomenon in human history. They have existed since ancient times. Dragon Dragon, one of the ancient beasts in China, is the main totem and symbol in China culture, which means throne. In China, ethnic minorities (that is, most China people) and Koreans, Vietnamese and Cambodians call themselves descendants of the dragon. In feudal times, the dragon was also a symbol of emperors in China and other East Asian countries. Dragon, Phoenix, Yong, Turtle and Kirin are also called "the five great beasts". The banknotes issued by Standard Chartered Bank of Hong Kong from 65438 to 0979 are all based on these beasts. Dragon ranks fifth among the traditional Chinese zodiac animals in China, and the corresponding earthly branch is Chen, so it is called Chen Long. In China, the dragon culture and the legend of the dragon (there are various branches in these items) contain the world view that China people attach importance to the unity of man and nature; The appeal of the concept of mutual subject of love; The development view of yin-yang intercourse; The inclusive view of multiculturalism. Phoenix, the second god beast in ancient China, is the "king of birds" and the most famous auspicious bird in ancient China. The prototype of the chicken in the zodiac is the phoenix, which was originally positive, also called the sunbird. It also has the characteristic of regaining weight from fire, so it is also called fire phoenix, just like the immortal birds in the west. In China, the phoenix is a symbol of happiness. There are many kinds of prototypes. Such as golden pheasant, peacock, vulture, mandarin fish, blackbird (swallow) and so on. And it is said to be a Buddhist Dapeng golden winged bird. The mythical phoenix has a chicken's head, a swallow's chin, a snake's neck, a fish's tail and five-color stripes. There are five kinds of phoenixes, divided by color: Red Phoenix, Lan Fenghuang, White Swan and Rayna Sue Phoenix, which can also be called Suzaku or Blackbird. The third god beast in ancient China: demon, also known as Tianlu and exorcism. It is a kind of god beast in ancient myths and legends of China. It has the head of a dragon, the body of a horse and the feet of a lion. It is shaped like a lion, has a gray coat and can fly. Fierce and mighty, responsible for patrolling the sky to prevent monsters, plagues and diseases from disturbing the heaven. It is an ancient auspicious beast, which has a single horn and a double horn. The one-horned one is called Tianlu, and the two-horned one is called exorcism. Its shape is short wings, curly tail and bristles. People think it is auspicious. The bigger your mouth, the more money you earn, the rounder your belly and the more money you pack. It is very popular because it has an extremely rare feature: it has a mouth but no excretory organs, which is why I hope that, like the brave, people will spare no effort to attract endless wealth "only if they don't develop further". Generally speaking, people who are partial think that the "brave" will be prosperous and partial to wealth, so they will put a brave man in the company or business place. Partial industries include foreign exchange, stocks, finance, horse racing, futures and so on. But it doesn't work for criminals, because they are spirit beasts. Xuanwu tortoise, the fourth ancient god beast in China, has dense textures on its back. People in China always think that the tortoise hides the secrets of heaven and earth, so it has become a mysterious animal with rich cultural connotations. At the same time, it is precisely because the turtle's life span is very long that it becomes a symbol of longevity. People often use "turtle age" to describe people's longevity, or together with "crane age" they are called "turtle age crane life" and "turtle crane age". Since ancient times, people believe that it can bring auspicious spirit. Turtles became the spirit of pioneers. Releasing jade turtles can nourish yin and yang, adjust indoor balance of yin and yang and natural magnetic field, and make up for luck and fortune. Using jade turtles in town houses can be safe, auspicious and rich. The fifth god beast in ancient China: Kirin and beast (p? xi ū), phoenix, dragon and tortoise are collectively called "Five Spirits", and Kirin is the first of the "Five Spirits". As early as the Zhou Dynasty, there was a legend of Kirin in China. The most detailed record is the book Justice in Shi Mao, which says: "Forest, moose body, horse foot, oxtail, yellow hair, round hoof, horn meat-". Legend has it that Kirin is a virtuous and kind beast, gentle in character, without insects or grass, with horns on its head and raw meat on its horns. Therefore, emperors of all dynasties loved Lin and regarded its appearance as the Chery of the country to show their imperial power and their clarity. The four great beasts were famous in ancient times. They were chaos, gluttony, Qiong Qi and Linglong. In the eighteenth year of Zuo Zhuan, Wen Gong said, "Chen Shunyao, a guest in four schools, wandered among four fierce families, was clumsy and gluttonous, and voted for four generations to resist the charm." Chaos, one of the fierce beasts in ancient China, is an ancient evil god. Legend has it that it is fat and round, red as fire, with four wings and six feet. Although it has no five senses, it can be familiar with songs, dances and music. There is also a saying that chaos is an animal like a dog or a bear. Humans can't see or hear. It often giggles with its tail biting. If you meet a noble person, chaos is violent; If you meet a wicked person, Chaos will obey his command. The second beast in ancient China: gluttony (tāo tiè) Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor in Xuanyuan fought Chiyou, who was beheaded and his head fell to the ground, turning into gluttony. There are clouds and beasts in the mountains and seas, which look like sheep's body and face, with eyes under the armpits and sounds like babies, so it is cannibalism. There is also one of the nine sons, which is said to be "the dragon gave birth to nine sons." Very greedy, he ate everything he saw, because he ate too much and was finally killed. This is a symbol of greed. The third beast in ancient China: Qiong Qi, the evil god who suppressed the good and promoted the evil in China legend. It is as big as a cow and a tiger, covered with hedgehog skin and with wings. Qiong Qi barks like a dog and eats people for a living. It is said that Qiong Qi often flies to the scene of fights and bites off the nose of the reasonable party; If someone does something bad, Qiong Qi will catch wild animals and give them to him, and encourage him to do more bad things. However, Qiong Qi has its advantages. In an exorcism ceremony called Nuo, there are twelve kinds of beasts that devour evil spirits, called Twelve Gods or Twelve Beasts, and Qiong Qi is one of them. Cao Tao, the fourth fierce beast in ancient China, said in the Lingyi Jing and Xiye Jing: "There are wild beasts in the West Field, which are like the hair of a tiger and a dog, two feet long, with a tiger's face, a pig's mouth and teeth, and an eighteen-foot tail, which is famous for disturbing the West Field. Self-awareness is used to describe a stubborn person with a fierce attitude. According to legend, he is the son of Zhuan Xu, the Northern Heaven Emperor, with a proud and unruly name. From these names, we can also roughly infer its actions. Like Qiong Qi, he later became one of the four valiant soldiers.
