Who knows the names of the nine sons of the Dragon King?

The most popular saying that "nine sons were born in one dragon" comes from Li Dongyang's Huailu Tangji in the Ming Dynasty. In an early dynasty, Emperor Zhu Youtang, Emperor Xiao Zong of Amin, suddenly had a whim and asked Li Dongyang, a famous scholar in the Ministry of Rites and Wenyuange, "I heard that Dragon gave birth to nine sons. What's the name of Jiuzi? " Li Dongyang hurriedly couldn't answer. After leaving North Korea, he thought about it and asked several colleagues. He pieced together a list of folklore and did a job with the emperor. Later, in Huai Lu Tang Ji, the nine sons of the dragon are:

Big brother (b √√)

Kiss the penis/tail (ch and w ě n/ch and w ě i)

Laosandao

Laosi armadillo

Old five gluttonous (tāotiè)

A six-year-old centipede

Lao qi ya zi

The nine sons of the dragon didn't become Jackie Chan, and each had his own interests. He was a captive of cattle and had good music all his life. Today, Hu Qin's head is engraved with his portrait. 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. Pro-easy to swallow raw, this temple spine beast for its portrait. "

"Tianlu knows more about dragon species": "There are nine kinds of dragons, each with its own strengths. At first glance, it looks like a turtle, so it's good to be able to carry loads. Today, the tortoise fell 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.

Some sayings also include beheading, Kirin, Chaotianhao (rudder) and mythical animals as one of the sons of the dragon.

Another way of saying it is:

One of Longsheng's nine sons, prison cow.

Prison bull, the eldest of Longsheng's nine sons, loved music all his life. He often squatted on the piano head to enjoy the music played by plucked strings, so his portrait was carved on the piano head. This kind of decoration has been used up to now, and some precious huqin heads are also engraved with the image of the dragon head, which is called "the dragon head huqin".

Longsheng JIU zi er ya zi

The second child is a son, aggressive and likes to kill people all his life. The knife ring, the handle and the dragon swallowing mouth are all portraits of it. After decorating the image of the dragon, these weapons add awesome power. It is not only decorated on the weapons of famous soldiers in the battlefield, but also widely used in ceremonial weapons and court guards, making it more dignified and solemn.

Longsheng, the third of the nine sons, laughs at the wind

Laughing at the wind, shaped like an animal, is the third child. He is doing well and looking forward to it. The animal in the corner of the temple is its portrait. These animals line up at the front of the vertical ridge. The animals are led by a "fairy" riding a bird, followed by dragons, phoenixes, lions, Tianma, seahorses, dragons, horses, bulls and other animals. Their placement has a strict hierarchy, and only the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City in Beijing can have all kinds, and the number of auxiliary halls should be reduced accordingly. Mocking the wind not only symbolizes auspiciousness, beauty and majesty, but also means to deter demons and eliminate disasters. The placement of Mockingwind makes the shape of the whole palace rigorous and changeable, achieving the harmony of solemnity and vividness, and the unity of grandeur and exquisiteness, adding a mysterious atmosphere to the towering palace.

Longsheng JIU Zisipu Prison

Not as old as a dragon, ranking fourth, and having a good voice and a good roar 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"

The fifth of Longsheng's nine sons

Sister-in-law, shaped like a lion, ranked fifth. She likes to be quiet, sit well and like fireworks all her life, so the foot ornaments on the Buddha incense burner are its portraits. According to legend, this kind of robe decorated on the Buddha's seat was introduced to China by Indians in the Han Dynasty. By the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it had been widely used in Buddhist art in China. This shape was created by China folk artists, making it have the traditional style of China. Later he became the fifth son of the dragon. Most of the places where it is arranged are in front of 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.

The sixth of Longsheng's nine sons, Baxia

Baxia, also known as the tortoise, is the old six. 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, Baxia often carried three mountains and five mountains on his back and made waves in rivers, lakes and seas. Later, Dayu subdued it when he was controlling the water. It obeyed Dayu's command, pushed mountains and dug ditches, dredged rivers and made contributions to water control. After the flood was defeated, Dayu was worried that he would run wild again, so he moved to a huge stone tablet with indomitable spirit, which was engraved with the merits of water control and told him to carry it. The heavy stone tablet prevented him from walking casually. 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.

The dragon gave birth to seven of nine sons.

The armadillo, also known as the Charter, looks like a tiger and is the old seven. It is litigious all its life, but it is powerful. The tiger head decoration on the upper part of the prison door is its portrait. Legend has it that armadillos are not only eager for public interests and justice, but also brave in speaking, able to distinguish right from wrong and judge impartially. In addition, its image is majestic, and the prisoners are not only decorated on the prison door, but also squatting on both sides of the official hall. Whenever the yamen chief is in court, there is an image on the title card and the silence card of the chief. It looks around and looks around, maintaining the solemnity and righteousness of the court.

Eight of the nine children born in the Year of the Loong.

The funeral was dragon-shaped, ranking eighth, and his life was good. 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.

Nine relatives of Longsheng's nine sons

Kiss, also known as tail, fish-shaped dragon According to legend, it was introduced from India with Buddhism around the Northern and Southern Dynasties. It's something from the Buddhist scriptures of the rain god, which can put out the fire. So the kiss was changed, so it was placed at both ends of the roof to eliminate disasters and put out fires. Laojiu, a dragon-shaped spiny-swallowing beast, has a wide mouth and a rough mouth, which is easy to swallow all his life. The dragon heads at both ends of the temple ridge are his portraits. "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.

In the Temple of Ascension from the Outside, the nine sons of the dragon are:

* Big boss.

* The kiss/tail of the second child

* Lao San Pu Lao

* Old four armadillos

* gluttonous bachelor (pinyin: tāotiè, medieval pinyin: thau thet)

* Old Six? (Writing, Pinyin: bāxià)

* Old Seven Yazi

* Old Eight Monkeys

* Laojiu's religious map

The prison cow, one of the nine children born to the dragon, is a yellow dragon with scaly horns. He likes music and squats in front of the piano. This musical dragon not only stands on the Hu Qin of the Han nationality, but also has the image of raising its head and opening its mouth on the Yue Qin of the Yi nationality, Qin Sang of the Bai nationality and some Tibetan musical instruments.

Yazi (pinyin: Yázì), one of the nine sons of Longsheng, is a dragon with a bow. He was strong-willed, the most ferocious and aggressive, and was carved on the knife ring and hilt and swallowed in his mouth. Also known as "Yazi", Yazi's original intention is to glare. Now there are words like revenge, revenge and revenge. Revenge: staring at the eyes and getting angry shows little hatred. The legendary fierce, aggressive and ferocious dragon son is portrayed as a devouring beast on the weapons of the world. Fan Ju, who is reminiscent of the saying in Historical Records that "the virtue of a meal will be repaid, and the revenge of an enemy will be repaid", killed or humiliated Wei Qi and JOE who persecuted him. Wu Zixu is a guest of King Chu Ping, a guest of Wei Baling, and Zhu's father Yan is a guest of Kundi. There are female factors in the pseudo-dragon-shaped creation movement-the dragon is not only regarded as a model divinity of strength, abundance and prosperity, but also endowed with violent characteristics.

Laughing wind dragon is one of the nine sons, and it is a close call in his life. Now the beast in the corner of the temple is his image. It not only symbolizes auspiciousness, beauty and majesty, but also has the meaning of deterring demons and eliminating disasters. The placement of Mockingwind makes the shape of the whole palace rigorous and changeable, achieving the harmony of solemnity and vividness, and the unity of grandeur and exquisiteness, adding a mysterious atmosphere to the towering palace.

One of the legendary nine sons of Longsheng is not old. When he was hit, he roared loudly and acted as the animal button for Hong Zhong to lift the beam to help him sing.

Sister-in-law (pinyin: Suānní), also known as golden sister-in-law and spiritual sister-in-law. Sister-in-law is another name for the lion. Legend has it that one of the nine sons of the dragon is shaped like a lion, likes smoking and sits well, so the image usually appears on the incense burner and then smokes. The lion, who dares to eat tigers and leopards, is a gorgeous-looking animal, which was introduced to China with Buddhism. Because 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 at leisure.

Wandering (Yinbi Opera Pinyin: bìxì), also known as Baxia: looks like a turtle, so it carries heavy loads. A craze can be seen in palaces, ancestral temples and tombs all over the country. In all kinds of arguments of Long Zi, it is generally ranked first among the nine sons. Legend has it that in ancient times, Baxia often carried three mountains and five mountains on his back and made waves in rivers, lakes and seas. Later, Dayu subdued it when he was controlling the water. It obeyed Dayu's command, pushed mountains and dug ditches, dredged rivers and made contributions to water control. After the flood was defeated, Dayu was worried that he would run wild again, so he moved to a huge stone tablet with indomitable spirit, which was engraved with the merits of water control and told him to carry it. The heavy stone tablet prevented him from walking casually. 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.

Seven of Longsheng Jiuzi (bìan) armadillos, also known as Chater, are tiger-looking and old seven. It is litigious all its life, but it is powerful. The tiger head decoration on the upper part of the prison door is its portrait. Legend has it that armadillos are not only eager for public interests and justice, but also brave in speaking, able to distinguish right from wrong and judge impartially.

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.

Taotie Chinese Pinyin: tāo tiè, a legendary fierce and greedy beast, is often decorated with its head shape on ancient bronzes, which is called Taotie. Legend has it that the dragon gave birth to nine sons. "Gluttony" is a mythical beast in ancient legends in China, and its greatest feature is that it can eat. This monster has no body, only a big head and a big mouth. It is very greedy and eats everything it sees. Because it ate too much, it finally choked to death, which is a symbol of greed. According to Ci Hai, gluttony is a legendary gluttonous beast. In ancient Zhong Ding, the shape of its head was carved into a decoration. " When the word gluttony is explained in Ci Hai, it is said that gluttony is "greed, the book of rites and music in the Han Dynasty"; The Danger of Gluttony Yan Shigu notes: "Greed is more gluttonous." Especially gluttony. "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals": "Gluttony is the body." There are three problems to be noted in the above paragraphs: first, gluttony is a kind of "evil beast", not fish, snakes, pythons and crocodiles, and does not belong to fish or reptiles. There are also gluttonous patterns in Shang and Ci Hai. As long as you look at it, you can recognize who that fierce beast looks like, very much like the front of a wolf, with round eyes and fierce eyes. Second, gluttony is very greedy. This characteristic clearly points out the characteristics of wolves. "Extreme gluttony" is one of the most prominent characteristics of coyotes. There is no more greedy animal in the world than a wolf. As we all know, "greed" is synonymous with wolf nature. Dong Zhongshu said that greed for wolves was a common custom in Qin dynasty, and he also juxtaposed greed with wolves. People in China always describe gluttony as "gorging". Describe greed and say "Wolf ambition". Because gluttony has the characteristics of "evil beast" and "very gluttonous wolf", and the gluttonous mode is very similar to a wolf. Therefore, the legendary gluttony is probably a wolf, or a beast evolved from a wolf. Third, gluttony has become the main decoration of business and harmony, which involves a series of problems. Baoding was an important weapon of the Chinese nation in the Bronze Age. In the Zhou Dynasty, "Ding" was a symbol of the supreme kingship and a ritual vessel, as well as a ritual vessel for offering sacrifices to heaven and ancestors. In the eyes of Chinese ancestors, Ding was in the position of national "totem pole". Therefore, only the totem belonging to the nation is qualified to climb such a lofty position, and it is carved on the Baoding. This phenomenon also reflects two problems: First, in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, Huaxia people may still worship the wolf totem, at least the animal totem, and the totem worship legacy of the ancestors of Huangdi people in Yan Di may still exist, while Huaxia people in the Zhou Dynasty were deeply influenced by the wolf totem, because the Zhou Dynasty originated in Xirong, and Xirong was mostly a nomadic people who worshipped the wolf totem. Secondly, the "dragon" at that time may not have been generally accepted, and it has not really become the national totem of the Chinese nation. Otherwise, Baoding, a symbol of imperial power, will be decorated mainly with dragons. Moreover, at that time, Zhou had not yet sat on the throne of the dragon. At that time, he continued the nomadic legacy of Yanhuang and sat on the floor. The decorative patterns on the Zhou Ding are mainly composed of gluttonous patterns and moire patterns, with gluttony as the center and moire patterns around. Obviously, the gluttonous beast is in the sky, sticking its head out of the clouds and looking down at the world. Its body is hidden in the clouds. I don't know whether there is a snake body or a dragon body, but if the dragon body is attached to the back of the gluttonous head, it is not far from the later standard dragon. So I think there may be a transitional stage between the wolf totem and the dragon totem. Gluttony not only has the character of a wolf, but also has the ferocious face of the context. The real name and prototype of the beast referred to in the animal face pattern have long been buried in an era that cannot be reproduced. Later generations were named gluttonous because of their ferocious, mysterious and horrible faces, and some of them still had heads in their mouths. Gluttony was originally used in Zuo Zhuan to describe those heartless people who are greedy for money and food. Some scholars in modern times pointed out that naming the animal face pattern gluttonous is purely far-fetched and contrary to the social and cultural conditions in Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Because of its fierce and horrible face and notorious gluttony, the trace of this beast in the cultural and artistic evolution of China is almost impossible to find. In the mid-Western Zhou Dynasty, animal ornamentation, which had prevailed for hundreds of years, suddenly withdrew from the main pattern of bronze decoration. However, several animal patterns, such as dragon, tiger, phoenix and turtle, which appeared on bronzes at the same time, appeared in official and folk cultures in the later cultural evolution, and became the most famous mascot and endless theme of artistic expression in China culture. Dragons, in particular, in the bronze age, mostly had the same ferocious face as gluttonous patterns. As far as mystery, power and status are concerned, dragons were far less than gluttony in the Bronze Age. However, the dragon later ascended the highest throne of China's cultural and political symbol, but "gluttony", the supreme of the Bronze Age, was hard to find. What exactly does gluttony mean? There have been different opinions, and there is no conclusion so far. Some people say it's cattle, sheep, tigers, deer and mandrills. Among these theories, gluttony is the most vocal. Many scholars engaged in the study of primitive culture and art believe that the gluttonous pattern is an exaggerated deformation of the tiger pattern. In ancient times, the tiger was also a very important god beast. Later, the figure of a wizard riding a tiger appeared in the cultural relics. In the long cultural history of China, there was a long stage of dragon and tiger worship before the worship of "Dragon and Phoenix". From the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to the Western Han Dynasty, Long Hudou's pattern modeling was very popular, among which the Long Hudou figure unearthed from Mawangdui Han Tomb was the most exquisite and extraordinary. The ancients thought that the tiger was a yang beast, "the cloud follows the dragon and the wind follows the tiger." Fighting between dragons and tigers means intercourse between yin and yang. In the Han Dynasty, Black Dragon, White Tiger, Suzaku and Xuanwu respectively represented the four astronomical officials in the Middle East, the West, the South and the North. At least, in the early history of China, the status of the tiger was not lower than that of the dragon. However, the description of the magical power of the tiger in ancient books is obviously difficult to compare with the prominent position of gluttony in bronze wares.

Pteris vittata, which should be (bāxià), is said to be one of the nine sons of the Dragon, and is fond of water. Carved into bridge columns and dripping beasts on the building.

Pepper map Pepper map, one of the nine sons of Longsheng, looks like a snail and is very closed. It hates others entering its nest, and its image is paved with the first lap. 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. People use it on doors, probably because it can be closed for safety.

Hengcheng, commonly known as looking up to heaven and yelling at it, is said to be the son of the Dragon King and has the habit of watching. The dragon at the top of the watchpost in China growled at the sky, which was regarded as uploading providence and releasing people's hearts. There are also records that the mount of Guanyin Bodhisattva is "roaring to heaven".
