There is a long-standing saying that dragons have nine sons, but there has been no saying about which nine animals are, and it was not until the Ming Dynasty that there were various opinions.
Some scholars' notes in the Ming Dynasty, such as Lu Rong's Miscellaneous Notes on the Garden, Li Dongyang's Collection of Huailu Hall, Yang Shen's Collection of Mountaineering Temple, Xu Li's Essays on the Old Man in the Temple, and Xu Yingqiu's Tang Yuzhi's Talk about Yun Yun, have many versions and different opinions, which are summarized as: Prison Cow and Yazi respectively.

Xiaolongmei died under the multiple factors of postpartum weakness and depression. Nine little dragons knelt beside their sister, and uttered a deep and gentle dragon song, as if calling for and mourning their beloved mother, Sister Xiaolong. However, Sister Xiaolong could never open her eyes as bright as pure water and boundless blue sky. Tears welled up in the eyes of the nine little dragons. Sister Xiaolong watched it for a long time and suddenly jumped into the air. After hovering over the cave for a long time, they flew away and disappeared into the boundless sky.
Since then, there has been good weather and no famine in the mountainous areas of Jiu Hao, which is said to be the result of protecting nine dragons. Later, in order to commemorate the little dragon girl, people set up an incense table in the cave where she gave birth to the dragon, offering it all the year round, and called it the "Notre Dame Cave in Kowloon". The cave is full of incense and pilgrims. The worshippers are all to commemorate the dragon sister of the Virgin of Kowloon and pray for the protection of the Virgin and the Nine Dragons.
