origin

A word from the nine sons of the dragon

It is said that on one occasion, Zhu Shitang, Emperor Xiaozong of Ming Dynasty, had a whim.

I asked Li Dongyang, a minister of rites who is famous for his erudition, "I heard that Dragon gave birth to nine sons. What's the name of Jiuzi? " Li Dongyang couldn't answer. After leaving North Korea, he pieced together a list.

According to Li Dongyang's list, the nine sons of the dragon are.

Wandering (sound bx) (boss)

Kiss (sound ch and w and n) (second child)

Not old (third child)

Armadillo (old four)

Gluttony (sound tāo tiè) (old five)

Pteris vittata (pronounced bā xià) (Lao Liu)

Yazi (pronounced yá zì) (Old Seven)

Sister-in-law (sound suān ní) (old eight)

Cross-plot (sound jiāo tú) (Laojiu)

But in the folklore of the Han nationality, far more than these dragons, gluttony and the like are all said to be the sons of dragons. In fact, the so-called dragon gave birth to nine children, not that the dragon happened to give birth to nine children. In the traditional culture of ancient Han nationality, nine is often used to express a lot and has a supreme position. Nine is an imaginary number and an expensive number, so it is used to describe the dragon son. If you have to choose nine sons, you should also choose the nine that have the greatest influence on the people. Li Dongyang is also anxious to make a job, and the list is not representative. [ 1]?

As the saying goes, one dragon gives birth to nine children, each with his own strengths. In Xu Yingqiu's Tang Yuzhi Tan Hui, Longsheng Jiuzi quoted Dong Yang's Huailu Tangji: "Longsheng Jiuzi did not become a dragon, but each had its own interests. He imprisoned a cow and made good music all his life. Today, his portrait is carved on Hu Qin's head. Yazi is easy to kill all his life, and the dragon swallowing mouth on the golden handle is his portrait. Laughing wind, I have had a close call in my life, and the beast in this corner of the temple is its portrait. The affluent have a portrait of a beast button on this clock. Sister-in-law, sitting in his life, the lion in the Buddha's seat today is his portrait. I have carried it all my life, and this monument beast is a portrait. An armadillo likes to litigate all his life, and the lion at the prison gate is his portrait. He lost his life and wrote a good article. On both sides of this monument is his portrait, Long Wen. Kissing is easy to swallow for a lifetime, and the spiny beast in this temple is its portrait. " "Tianlu knows more about dragon species": "There are nine kinds of dragons, each with its own strengths. We'll see. It looks like a turtle. It's good to be able to carry loads. Today, the tortoise is also under the stone tablet; Second, kissing, looks like Zeng, looks good, and the animal head on the house today is also; The third kind is not old, looks like a dragon, is small, and is good at yelling.

Zisi is not old in shape like a coiled dragon, but Buron is very small. He has a good voice and growls all his life. The dragon-shaped animal button on the Hong Zhong is its portrait. I didn't always live by the sea. Although he is a dragon, he is always afraid of giant whales. As soon as the whale attacked, it roared in fear. According to its "easy to sing" characteristics, "every bell should make a loud sound", that is, the cloth wheel should be cast into a bell button and the wooden pestle that rings the bell should be made into a whale shape. When ringing the bell, let the whale hit the cloth wheel again and again, making it "ring into the sky" and "sound alone"

Wuzisao, also known as Jin Heling. Sister-in-law is another name for a lion, so she looks like a lion. She likes to be quiet all her life, like smoking and sitting at the foot of the incense burner. The foot ornaments on the Buddha's seat and incense burner are its portraits, which were introduced to China with Buddhism. Because the Buddha Sakyamuni is known as the "fearless lion", people naturally arrange him in the Buddha's seat, or carve him on an incense burner to enjoy the incense. In addition, sister-in-law is also the seat of Manjusri Bodhisattva, and there is also a temple dedicated to sister-in-law on Wutai Mountain in Manjusri Bodhisattva Dojo. Because my sister-in-law is the fifth son of the dragon,

On the roof of the temple of fire

Therefore, this temple is called Wu Ye Temple, which has a great influence in the local area.

By the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Buddhism had been widely used in China. This style was created by China folk artists, which makes it have the traditional style of China. Later, he became the fifth son of the dragon, and his layout was mostly in front of the Buddha and Bodhisattva sitting cross-legged or cross-legged. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the dragon-shaped decoration in the middle of the collar of the stone lion or bronze lion is also an image of the lion entering the tiger's mouth, which makes the traditional China gate lion more powerful.

Liu Zi, also known as Pacha, looks like a turtle. He has a good load and great strength all his life, and the turtle under the pedestal is his portrait.

Legend has it that in ancient times, it often carried three mountains and five mountains to make waves. After being conquered by Yu Xia, he obeyed Dayu's command, pushed mountains and dug ditches, and dredged rivers, which made great contributions to Yu Xia. After the success of water control, Dayu was worried that he would run around again, so he moved to a huge stone tablet with indomitable spirit engraved on it and told him to carry it. The heavy stone tablet prevented him from walking casually. So China's stone tablets are mostly carried by it.

The dam is very similar to the tortoise, but there is still a difference when you look closely. Bazaar has a row of teeth, but the tortoise doesn't. The number and shape of nail plates under the dam and on the tortoise shell are also different. Bullies, also known as stone turtles, are symbols of longevity and good luck.

It is always struggling to move forward with its head held high, its four feet desperately propped up, struggling to move forward, but unable to move. The pedestals of some famous stone tablets in China are carried by Ba Xia, which can be seen in the forest of steles and some historical sites.

Seven-son armadillo, also known as Charter, looks like a tiger. It is powerful and easy to prosecute in prison, but it is powerful, so people carve it on the prison door, so people have the saying that the tiger's head is fastened. The tiger-shaped decoration above the prison door is its portrait. Others say that it upholds justice, can distinguish right from wrong and is impartial. In addition, its image is majestic, so it is also placed on the top of the two cards that officials patrol and avoid, in order to maintain the awe-inspiring atmosphere of the court.

Eight sons, who are well-off, look like a dragon, elegant and gentle, coiled on the top or both sides of the stone tablet, and the dragons on both sides of the stone tablet are his portraits.

China's inscriptions have a long history and rich contents. Some shapes are simple, smooth and bright, and light can be used as a guide.

Some are exquisitely carved, with elegant words and vivid pens; There are also some famous poems and stone carvings, which are well-known throughout the ages. But she loves this inscription with artistic brilliance, and she is willing to turn it into a dragon pattern to set off these literary treasures handed down from generation to generation and decorate the pedestal more elegantly and beautifully. They are intertwined with each other and seem to be creeping slowly, which is more spectacular in coordination with the base.

Kissing the youngest son, also known as tail or kiss, is a fish-shaped dragon (also said to be like a lizard with its tail cut off). It is a dragon-shaped spiny eater with a wide and rough mouth, which is easy to swallow all its life. The tail-rolling bibcock at both ends of the temple spine is its portrait, that is, the shape of the animal head on the temple spine.

In Buddhist scriptures, kissing is something under the rain god, which can put out fires. Therefore, putting it on both ends of the roof can also eliminate disasters and put out fires. According to legend, it was introduced from India with Buddhism around the Northern and Southern Dynasties. It is something under the rain god in Buddhist scriptures, which can put out fires. So the kiss changed, so it was placed at both ends of the roof.

Effective for disaster relief and fire fighting.

"Taiping Yu Lan" has the following description: "After the disaster of the Liang Temple in the Han Dynasty, the witch said,' There are fish in the sea, and the tail is like a owl, and the waves are like rain', so it is like a tail and Tired Ofthe Fire is auspicious." The "witch" mentioned in the article is the alchemist and the "fishbone" is the predecessor of kissing. Kissing is water-based and an evil thing to avoid fire.

It can be found that in this statement, the eldest son of the prison cow and the fourth son of the prison like music, the third son of the wind and the last son of the kiss are located on the roof, and the sixth and eighth sons are surrounded by stone tablets, which is suspected of repetition. It is better to combine them into one and add some other common expressions.

Another way of saying it (Yang Shen)

Jiuzi pepper map, shaped like a snail, is very closed and hates others entering its nest. It is paved with the first ring as its image. Therefore, people often carve its image on the shop head of the gate, or portray it on the door panel. Snails always meet and shell when they are attacked by foreign objects.

You can swallow everything and never let it out, so it means eating wealth from all directions. China has a tradition of "the brave fight hard", which, like the dragon and lion, can drive away the evil spirits here and bring joy and good luck. In ancient times, people often used bravery as the name of the army. Legend has it that the brave man broke the dogma, and the jade emperor punished him for only eating money from all directions, swallowing everything without diarrhea, making a fortune and not getting in, which was extraordinary.

Spine: A kind of dragon without horns. Its shape is often used as decoration in ancient buildings, utensils and handicrafts. It has a big mouth and its stomach can hold a lot of water. It is often used to decorate the drainage outlet of buildings, which is called decapitation.

Kirin: Also called "Kirin" or "Lin" for short, it is an animal recorded in Chinese ancient books. Together with phoenix, turtle and dragon, they are called "four spirits" and are the mounts of God. The ancients regarded Kirin as a benevolent beast, an auspicious beast. The man's name is Qi and the woman's name is Lin. After Zheng He brought giraffes to the west in the Ming Dynasty, it was used to refer to giraffes (which is still the case in Japan). Often used as a metaphor for outstanding people. Kirin is a sacred object in the sky, not on the ground, and often appears with gods. This is a shrine belonging to the fire department. Generally speaking, it can't fly, but adult Kirin can fly. Adult Kirin can be big or small, usually kind, and extremely fierce when angry.

So: commonly known as looking up to the sky and yelling at the sky, there is a habit of watching. The pedal dragon at the top of the Huabiao column is Guanyin Mountain.

"Like tiger, like son", dragons are so powerful that they can smoke and make waves. Being an idol of China people for thousands of years, his son is naturally not an idle generation. Dragons also have daughters, but they are not so famous. The heroine in "Pigs with Bright Spring" is the little dragon girl. The children of dragons are very strange, quite similar to those of Zeus in Greek mythology. But after all, Europeans are more open-minded than China. In their mythology, Zeus, the god of heaven, is a typical example of romance and even promiscuity. He turned into a horse for a while and a cow for a while to flirt with a good woman. The dragon in our country is polite, and at most it is a "two dragons playing with pearls". In the eyes of China people, the dragon is a symbol of authority and dignity. We call ourselves "descendants of the Chinese people" and "descendants of dragons".
