Explanation:
Fierce beasts mentioned in ancient books.
Metaphor is a brave army.
Historical origin:
The magic weapon, also known as Tianlu, Exorcism, Bai Jie and * * *, is a kind of god beast in ancient myths and legends of China. Its dragon head, horse body and feet are like lions. It has gray fur and can fly. Fierce and mighty, responsible for patrolling the sky to prevent monsters, plagues and diseases from disturbing the heaven.
In ancient times, people used to call the brave the name of the army. Legend has it that the brave dog violated the dogma, and the Jade Emperor punished it for eating only wealth from all directions. If you swallow nothing, you can make a fortune, but you can't get in. It's amazing. After the story spread, this animal was regarded as making money. Many people in China wear brave jade products, which is the story.
Appearance and form:
A brave man is like a tiger and leopard, with a dragon-shaped head and tail, a golden color like jade, a pair of wings on his shoulders that can't be unfolded, a corner on his head and a backward tilt.
Many people think that the fearless animal now is the giant panda. According to Records of the Five Emperors, more than 4,000 years ago, the Yellow Emperor tamed animals such as tigers, leopards and brave pandas, and defeated Emperor Yan in Hanquan (now Zhuolu County, Hebei Province).
There is also a saying that there were two kinds of magic in ancient times, namely, single-horn magic and double-horn magic. Some people say that one-horn magic and two-horn magic distinguish men (for magic) and women (for magic), while others say that there is one-horn magic.
History:
《? There is a record in the biography of the Western Regions of Han Dynasty: "Wugeshan is divided into peach, lion and rhinoceros". Meng Kang said, "Peach blossoms bloom, and a day's fuba is like a deer's tail. One horn is called Tianlu, and the other two horns are called exorcism. " Fighting evil is fighting.
According to ancient records, the brave is a beast, one of the five auspicious beasts in ancient times (except dragon, phoenix, turtle and unicorn), and is called lucky beast. The brave was once the totem of two ancient clans. Legend has it that he helped the Emperor Yanhuang to fight, and was named "Tianlu Beast", which means to be blessed by God. It is designed for the emperor to protect treasures, and it is also a symbol of the royal family. It is called "Dibao". It is also called "exorcism" because it specializes in eating wild animals to ward off evil spirits. Ancient China Feng Shui masters believed that the brave were auspicious beasts who turned disasters into blessings.
However, some ancient poets used brave words to express their bravery. The wife of Xu Junbao, a poetess in the Southern Song Dynasty, wrote? In the prosperous period of Han and Shang Dynasties in Fang Ting, it is said that "once swords and soldiers were raised together, flags were raised and millions of people were brave" is a fierce beast to symbolize Yuan Bing. 《? The entries in Xinhua Dictionary are as follows: ① A fierce beast in ancient books; (2) metaphor brave army. It can be seen that animals are not necessarily wild animals.

Tiger, fighting with Emperor Yan in the wild of Hanquan. "Sima Zhen Suoyin:" These six beasts can teach war. "Liaodong people call it a white bear. Male, female, so the ancients repeatedly cited it. "

The south bank is mostly brave, and there are more stone lions on the north bank. The stone lions on both sides of the main entrance of most banks in the north are left and right, and the male lion opens his mouth and looks at the believers coming and going; The lioness keeps her mouth shut to protect her children, which shows the characteristics of traditional society that men are superior to women and perform their duties.
