Nine beasts
They are the nine mythical beasts in ancient China, and they are all descendants of dragons. There are also Japanese myths and legends of the same name. To be more precise, the Japanese Nine Animals should be called Nine bijuu.
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. In the Ming Dynasty, some scholars' notes, such as Lu Rong's Miscellaneous Notes on the Garden, Li Dongyang's Collection of Huailu Hall, Yang Shen's Collection of Climbing the Temple, Xu Li's Essay on the Old Man in the Temple, and Xu Yingqiu's Talking about Yun Yun in Tang Yuzhi, all recorded the dragon's situation, but they were not unified.
The book "The Origin of the Gods" said that the books outside Sheng 'an Temple recorded that the nine sons of the dragon were: slim, like turtles, carrying heavy loads, that is, turtles under the monument; Kiss, like a beast, looks good, standing on the roof; Gluttony, food, ding Gai; Pteris vittata, erect, standing on the bridge column; The map of pepper, like snails and clams, is closed and stands at the door; Gold, shaped like a lion, is a good fireworks, standing on the incense burner; Together with the old, the armadillo and the son, they are only the nine sons of the dragon.
