Legends, pictures and introductions of four ancient murderers who swallowed larks.

In ancient China mythology, there were four fierce monsters (also known as * * * workers, dog fights, Sanmiao and Kun), namely gluttony, chaos and Yao Yao. Let me briefly talk about these four Warcraft.

Gluttony:

Legend has it that Xuanyuan Huangdi fought against Chiyou, and Chiyou was beheaded. When he landed for the first time, he became a glutton. There is a cloud in Shan Hai Jing Bei Shan Jing: "There is more jade on the mountain and more copper on the mountain in Wu Gou. There is a wild animal that looks like a sheep's body and a human face. Its eyes are under its arm, and the tiger's teeth are claws. It sounds like a baby and is called cannibalism. " According to Guo Pu's annotation of Shan Hai Jing in Jin Dynasty, the word "Yan Yan" here refers to gluttony (in a mine in Xuan No.2 Middle School, there is a strange bird, can it be? )。 There is a cloud in the Western Divine Classic: "Gluttony, the name of the animal, the body is like an ox, the face is like a man, and the eyes are under his arm, eating people." Compare the gluttony painted by DOMO to see if it is the same as recorded in ancient books.

Later, gluttony became a totem, carved on various sacrificial vessels. There is a cloud in "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals": "Gluttony, with its body, cannibalism does not harm its body, and words are more rewarding." During the Yin and Zhou Dynasties, gluttony was often engraved on the tripod. Its head is fierce, its eyes are bright and impressive, and its nose is prominent. The head has a pair of curved angles or feet, and the bending direction seems to be customized, or the inner hook is like an angle, or the outer curve is like an angle; The mouth is wide, sharp as a saw, slightly bent into a hook, or locked. It is ostentatious, arched, with its head on the ground or watery, and has a pair of claws on both sides, like a dog's claw or a Tiger Claw. There are a pair of meat wings on both sides, which are shaped like ears.

Because of wealth and greed, later generations called greedy people "gluttony". "Zuo Wenzhu's Eighteen Years of Angong" has a saying: "Jinyun's family is incompetent, greedy and accepting bribes, and the world is called gluttony."

Qiong Qi:

"Shan Hai Jing Bei Shan Jing" has a cloud: "Two hundred and sixty miles to the west, named Lushan Mountain. There is a beast on it, which looks like the hair of a cow and a hedgehog. Its name is Qiong Qi. What does it sound like? Brvbar dogs are cannibals. " Qiong Qi is another way of saying the name of God. "Huai Nan Zi Bo Xing Xun" says: "Qiong Qi was born with a broad ink style." Gao said to him, "Yes, God also.". On North Road, you can ride two dragons, such as tigers. "In" Tianhen ",the monster on Xianshan Island, which is all red and looks like a cow, is Qiong Qi (with five-colored stone south leaves).

Later, "Qiong Qi" was used as a metaphor for people who betrayed their faith. There is a saying in Zuo Zhuan's Eighteen Years of Wengong: "Young Hao's family has no talent, destroys faith, worships evil words, and is called Qiong Qi in the world."

Unfortunately, I only found the above information about Qiong Qi, which may be the reason why Qiong Qi didn't become one of the ancient Warcraft in Sky Mark: there is too little background information.

The legendary beast-fierce man

There is a cloud in the Classic of the Wonders of the West Field: "There are beasts in the west field, as big as tigers, with two feet of hair, tiger's face and teeth, and ten feet and eight feet of tail, which disturb the wilderness and are famous everywhere." There is also a saying that it is the name of God, "On Mandarin Zhou Yu": "The prosperity of business is second only to Pishan." In addition, during the Warring States period, there was a book called Kongtong, which was a history book devoted to the study of the history of Chu.

Later, people used "clumsiness" to describe a stubborn person with a fierce attitude. People, "Zuo Wenzhu's Eighteen Years of Angong" has a saying: "Zhuan Xu's family has no talent, can't teach, doesn't know what to say, and the world calls it clumsy."

Chaos is muddy. Looks like a dog, like a dog without claws, has eyes but no vision, ears but no sense of smell, a belly without five internal organs and can't walk.

Chaos is called "chaos" by later generations because it is both chaotic and chaotic. There is a saying in Zuo Zhuan's Eighteen Years of Wengong: "In the past, Di Hong's family was a scholar, hiding its righteousness, hiding its thieves, and being violent, which was called chaos by the world."

Zhang said in Interpretation of New Dialects that "chaos" is an asshole in today's words. (This is so cool! )

It is said that chaos is caused by resentment after Gui Dou's death, Qiong Qi is caused by resentment after * * *, vagrancy is caused by resentment after gun death, and gluttony is caused by resentment after Sanmiao's death.
