1. The image of exorcism comes from the tomb beasts of the Southern Dynasties (Song Qi Liang Chen). The tomb beasts of the Southern Dynasties are divided into Tianlu, Kirin and exorcism. The three kinds of stone beasts are basically similar in shape, all of which are tall, with their heads held high, their mouths bared, their eyes full of fierce light, and their abdomen is carved with wings on both sides, four feet in front

.

2. The difference between Tianlu and Qilin is that the top of Tianlu is carved with double horns, while Kirin is a single horn, while exorcism has no horns.

Tianlu, also known as "Tianlu", is a kind of god beast in ancient legends, which is related to "Great Destiny" and "Luwei". Therefore, the ancient supreme ruler

placed it in front of his tomb, which is not only a symbol of Luwei, but also a reflection of the destiny to show its dignity.

3. Kirin is also a deified animal name in ancient China, and it is one of the legendary "Four Spirits" (Lin, Phoenix, Turtle and Dragon) in China, because

it is regarded as a "benevolent animal" because it "does not fold grass and does not eat nonsense".
