Gluttony is a mysterious monster in ancient myths and legends of China. Its name is Lin Jie. According to the ancient book Shan Hai Jing Bei Ji Er Jing, it is characterized by its sheep face, eyes under the armpit and tiger teeth in its hands.

Its name can be compared to a glutton, and it is generally called a gourmet. Zuo Zhuan records that gluttony is the son of Jinyun, not one of the nine sons of the dragon. ?

What people call gluttonous patterns are common patterns on bronzes and are considered to depict gluttonous animal faces. This pattern appears on the jade articles of Liangzhu culture in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, but the gluttonous pattern is more common on bronzes, especially Ding Shang, as early as Erlitou Xia culture bronzes.

Extended data:

Gluttony was originally the owner of Jinyun's family. His name is not gluttony. Gluttony is the nickname given to him by the common people. The word itself has a derogatory meaning, referring to greedy people.

Differentially speaking, greedy people are called gluttony, and greedy people are called snacks. These two words can be said separately. Zhuangzi Pianmu said that a gluttonous person is determined by his life, and he is greedy for wealth.

Anyone who is greedy for money and food can be called gluttony or snack, but not necessarily a monster. In folk history, there is also a very outrageous rumor that gluttony will appear.

It is because when the Yellow Emperor was fighting against Chiyou, Chiyou was quickly beheaded, although he lost to the Yellow Emperor, but at the moment when his head fell to the ground, he quickly became a glutton.
