Edit the legend
Dragon born nine sons
Dragon in its image formation process, there have been a variety of strange beasts of the sea collection of images. Later, these strange beasts in the development of the image of the dragon at the same time combined with one of the characteristics of the dragon, the formation of the nine sons of the dragon said different. But the nine sons of the dragon for what, in fact, who ranked the oldest who ranked the second, and there is no exact record. There are also a variety of folk say, not the same. It is said that once Ming Xiaozong Zhu Youzong once on a whim, asked Li Dongyang, known for his knowledge of the Ministry of Rites: "I heard that the dragon has nine sons, nine sons of what is the name of each?" Li Dongyang actually can not answer, after retreating from the court, put together, pulled out a list. According to Li Dongyang's list, the nine sons of the dragon are: Paddy Pit, Mocking Wind, Jairus, Gui Tuo, Pepper Tuo, Chi Chi, Pu Jung, Mythical Beibi and Prisoner Bull. However, the sons of the dragon in folklore are far more than these, quodid, bravery, taotie and so on are all said to be the sons of the dragon. In fact, the so-called dragon has nine sons, not the dragon happened to have nine sons. Ancient Chinese traditional culture, often to nine to indicate that very much, and has the supreme status. Nine is an imaginary number and a noble number, so it is used to describe the dragon's son. If one had to choose nine sons, one should also choose the nine of them that had the greatest influence in the folklore. Li Dongyang was also in a hurry to fulfill his duty, and the list he proposed was not representative. For the "nine sons of the dragon", a more influential one is: the Ming dynasty white jade Pixi brave sign
eldest son of the prisoner cattle
like music, standing in the head of the zither. Some valuable huqin head is still engraved with the image of the dragon head, called "dragon head huqin".

Mythical Geibi is originally an alias for lion, so it is shaped like a lion, likes to smoke and sits well, leaning on the foot of the incense burner, and was introduced to China with Buddhism. Since Buddha Shakyamuni had the metaphor of a "fearless lion", it was logical to arrange the animal as a seat for the Buddha or carve it into an incense burner so that it could enjoy the incense in style. In addition, the mythical animal is the mount of Manjushri, the Bodhisattva of Mercy, and there is a temple dedicated to the animal on Wutai Mountain, the Bodhisattva's homeland. Since the mythical beast is the fifth son of the dragon, the temple is called the Temple of the Five Masters, which is quite influential in the region.

As Xi Tuo is very fond of these artistic inscriptions, he is willing to be a dragon to set off these treasures of literature and decorate the pedestal more elegantly and beautifully. They are coiled around each other, look like slowly wriggling, and the base of the Ba Xia match together, more spectacular.
Nine chi dragons chi (chī wěn)
Chi dragons chi, also known as scops owl, the legend says that it was born with a dragon's head and fish body, and its form first appeared in the Han Dynasty Emperor Wu Di construction of the "cypress Liang Hall" on.

Emperor Wu agreed. When the hall was built, the ministers scrambled to ask the temple ridge above for what, Emperor Wu did not know how to answer, it looks like a scops owl's tail to the name "scops owl", and then gradually evolved into a harmonic "chi dragon's foot". It is also rumored to be about in the North and South Dynasties, from India 'Mogu fish' with the Buddhism imported. In the Buddhist scriptures, it is the object under the seat of the god of rain, which can extinguish fire.
