The more primitive chaotic image comes from Shan Hai Jing Xi Ci San Jing. "There is a god, like a yellow sac, red as fire, six feet and four wings, and I don't know how to sing and dance. In fact, it is (Jiang is pronounced as Hong). " The chaos here is very consistent with the image in the legend of Warcraft.
Later, "Nerve" said: "There are wild animals in the west of Kunlun, like dogs, with long hair and four feet, like scorpions (sound skins) without claws, with eyes ignoring, no movement, no ears hearing, some people are intelligent, there are no five zang in the abdomen, there are rectum non-woven and there are esophagus. People have virtue and resist it, and those who are virtuous rely on it. This is called chaos living in the air doing nothing, often licking its tail, turning around and laughing. " Chaos is completely the image of a fierce beast.
There is also a saying that the chaos is caused by resentment after the dog fights. This is also consistent with the origin of the four beasts: it is transformed from the resentment after the death of * * * *, embarrassment is transformed from the resentment after the death of Kun, and gluttony is transformed from the resentment after the death of Sanmiao.
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." I'm afraid the chaos here doesn't refer to Qiong Qi, the four ancient murderers: The Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Classic of Beishan, which say, "It's 260 miles to the west, and it's called Lushan Mountain. There is a beast on it, which looks like the hair of a cow and a hedgehog. His name is Qiong Qi, and he sounds like a dog. It is cannibalism. " 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: "The young noble family has no talent, destroys faith and worships evil words, and is called Qiong Qi in the world." Táowü: There is a cloud in the Strange Classic of the West Field: "There are beasts in the west field, as big as tigers, with a hair of two feet, a tiger's face and feet, teeth in the mouth and a tail of ten feet and eight feet, which disturb the west field and are famous for their elegant manners." Another way of saying this is 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." Gluttony (tāo tiè):
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." (1) 隙隙: 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. Because the dragon turtle is good at carrying loads, it means that it can block disasters and reduce disasters for people, revitalize families and protect all beings. In the folk, the dragon is a metaphor for people. At present, it has become the most distinguished mascot representative in the eyes of Chinese people. It is a symbol of SHEN WOO, strength, excellence and wealth management. People regard Kirin as a mascot. It is said that wherever Kirin steps, it will bring good luck to people there, so it is called "auspicious Kirin". In traditional culture, Kirin is a symbol of good luck. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "Kirin comes out of prosperity". At the same time, the people also firmly believe that Kirin is an auspicious beast to eliminate disasters and solve problems, ward off evil spirits, ward off evil spirits in towns and houses, and promote and make a fortune. Applicable objects: gratitude, friendship, blessing, high moral character, promising, outstanding, helping the world, education, military, police, justice, politics, promotion, election, community, marriage, having children and opening business.
