What are the ancient beasts? What are the ancient beasts?

1. viper. The viper, also called the Teng snake, is a flying snake. According to legend, it is a pet made by Nu Wa Niangniang according to her own image. The viper, a god beast, smokes and swims between heaven and earth. Although there is not much attack power, the ancients who are good at association value the symbolic meaning of viper more. They think that "the viper flies without feet, and the flying squirrel is poor with five skills", which means that the viper has no feet, but it can fly more than the mole with many skills. This coincides with the idea of doing things wholeheartedly advocated in the book. Therefore, the ancients liked vipers more and more.

2. real cow. Kuiniu comes from Shan Hai Jing, and it is said that there is an abrupt island named Liubo Mountain on the East China Sea. There is a strange animal on Liubo Mountain. It looks like a cow, but it has one leg and no horns on its head. If you think it is easy to bully, it is a big mistake. The talent of the real cow is its roar. Every roar is accompanied by thunder, and the sound shocks 5 miles away, which makes the enemy feel scared. The real cow won the favor of the monk Tongtian, the sect leader, and was accepted as a mount. There are also ancient books that describe a real bull as a dragon. According to archaeological findings, most bronzes in Shang and Zhou Dynasties are engraved with a real dragon pattern.

3. Bi Fang. Bi Fang is an elf among birds, and also comes from Shan Hai Jing. Bi Fang and Kui Niu have one similarity, that is, they both have only one leg. Bi Fang doesn't eat grains and meat, but he likes to devour flames.

4. According to the book, Bi Fang is a Vulcan. Wherever it appears, there will be a fire. When the Yellow Emperor rode in a chariot pulled by a dragon, he gathered four gods in Mount Tai, and Bi Fang stood on the side of the chariot. Huainanzi recorded that "Bi Fang was born of wood", but it was actually a wood fire with five elements.

5. Bai Ze. Bai Ze lives in Kunlun Mountain, covered in white, and knows all kinds of things in the world like the palm of his hand. It is even more rare for Bai Ze to talk. Bai Ze is an auspicious beast for human beings. When the Yellow Emperor came across Bai Ze on patrol, Bai Ze gave all his life knowledge, including astronomy, geography, rare birds and animals. The Yellow Emperor gained a lot, and specially ordered people to edit the contents described by Bai Ze into a book and pass it on. This book is called "The Illusion of Bai Ze". The ancients thought that Bai Ze was familiar with Yin and Yang and could ward off evil spirits, so Bai Ze's designs were embroidered on pillows and clothes.

6, the Ming bird. The origin of the name of the Double Bright Bird lies in the fact that the bird has two eyes in each of its two eyes. The double star bird looks like a rooster, but it sounds like a phoenix. The mingbird is born with divine power and hates evil. As long as you see wild animals and monsters, you will go to drive them away.

7. The ancients often made bronze statues or wooden statues of the double-edged birds and put them on the gates. He also made paper-cut paper-cut birds and stuck them on the windows. I believe that if monsters pass by, they will be scared away. Nowadays, the folk cut window grilles-the golden rooster announces the dawn, are actually commemorating the double-edged birds.

8. Kirin. Kirin is one of the four spirits in ancient times. It has the advantages of dragon head, antlers, lion's eyes, tiger's back, bear's waist, snake scales, horseshoes and oxtail, and has a long life span, so it is considered as a Swiss beast. In fact, there are many branches of the Kirin clan, including the water unicorn, a kind-hearted animal. Because of its strong fighting power and gentle temperament, it is often recaptured by the great power to guard the mountain gate.

9. There are also fire unicorns, for example, in Fengyun, hiding in Lingyun Cave under the giant Buddha, anyone who enters the cave will become its food. Kirin also represents many talents. In ancient times, Kirin was often used to praise a talented person.

1. Phoenix. Phoenix is the legendary king of birds, and there is also a folk saying that birds pay homage to the phoenix. As an ancient god beast, Phoenix also has the characteristics of many animals in appearance. Ancient books record that Phoenix is "the head of a chicken, the mouth of a swallow, the neck of a snake, the back of a turtle, the tail of a fish, colorful, and six feet high." Phoenix is actually divided into two types: male phoenix and female phoenix. Phoenix has a powerful supernatural power, that is "Nirvana". Whenever the phoenix dies, it will be resurrected in the fire and reborn in the fire. In the west, the phoenix is also called the immortal bird, which coincides with our oriental myth.

11. Ying Long. In ancient times, the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou fought repeatedly. In response to the call of the two kings, the secluded beasts from all over the world have thrown themselves into both camps. Among them, Ying Long followed the Yellow Emperor, and repeatedly made meritorious military service in the next great war. Even Kuafu and Chiyou were beheaded by Ying Long. After the Yellow Emperor unified the Central Plains, Ying Long retired, hiding in the mountains of osawa. Until the flood was a disaster, Ying Long came out of the mountain to help Dayu dredge the flood and make new contributions. "Huai Nan Zi" wrote that "the dragon should give birth to a horse, and the horse should give birth to a unicorn", so Ying Long was also the ancestor of Kirin.

12. There are different opinions about the legend of you. In the oldest records, Gui is one of the four ancient gods, and the other three ancient gods are Nvwa 、 Fuxi and Haotian. He was a disaster to the world and was jointly suppressed by the other three ancient gods. In order to prevent you from being resurrected again, Fuxi, Nu Wa and Hao Tian divided your soul into three parts and sealed your body into a sacred tree. However, man is not as good as nature. His three souls escaped, and through possession, three zombie kings were created, namely Hiderigami, Yinggou and Hou Qing. After his body was merged with making a sacred tree, he produced spiritual wisdom and became the last zombie king-general. So you are also the ancestor of zombies. The descendants of Guan Yu inherited excellent bloodlines, and they were also very tough. Among them, Jin Mao Guan Yu was subdued by Guanyin Bodhisattva and became a Buddhist mount.

13. Kun. The record of Kun first came from Liezi Tang Wen, and later Zhuangzi also quoted the legend that there are fish in the north, named Kun. Kun can evolve into Peng, a legendary giant aquarium, living in the deepest part of the North Sea-Beiming. Kun is huge, how huge. "Zhuangzi" describes that "Kun is so big that I don't know how many miles it is." Whenever Kun Peng spreads his wings, he is like a cloud on the horizon, as far as the eye can see. Such a huge ontology is the only one among the beasts. Legend has it that Kun's talent is to swallow everything in the world, and his favorite food is dragon. So Kun ranks first.
