Warning signs about Tibetan antelopes

The origin of antelope hanging horns was first seen in Yaya Stone Beast in Song Dynasty: antelope slept at night and hung its horns on trees, leaving no trace to prevent the enemy from coming.

According to legend, there is a kind of wild sheep called antelope. It is bigger than a sheep and has a pair of horns that bend forward. These horns are not only its weapons, but also have another wonderful function. At night, it ran to a big tree, found a cross branch, jumped high, hung its horn on the branch, and slept like this. The fierce Butch followed its footsteps and sniffed its smell, chasing it under the tree. Suddenly, the footsteps disappeared and the smell disappeared-how could they guess that the antelope was hanging high in the tree? People on the mountain sometimes see antelopes at dawn, thinking that someone has hanged himself in a tree. As it approached, it jumped down, ran quickly and soon disappeared. )

Song Shi Daoyuan's "The Record of Deng Chuan in Jingdezhen": Volume 16 The Zen master of the village said in public: "If I preside over the West, you will find words and make sentences; If I were a gazelle, where would you touch it? "
