Laosandao
Laosi armadillo
Old five gluttonous (tāotiè)
A six-year-old centipede
Lao qi ya zi
Lao Ba Jin Xi (Jinni)
Laojiu intersection map (jiāotú)
Some sayings also include beheading, Kirin, Chaotianhao (rudder) and mythical animals as one of the sons of the dragon.
Longsheng Jiuzi introduced. One of the bosses, Longsheng Jiuzi, is one of the prisoners.
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".

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 Chaofeng, the third of nine sons
Old three
Imitating a phoenix, shaped like an animal, is the third child. This is a critical moment in his life. The animal in the corner of the temple platform is its portrait. These animals line up at the front of the vertical ridge. Animals are led by a "fairy" riding a bird, followed by dragons, phoenixes, lions, horses, 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 phoenix not only symbolizes auspiciousness, beauty and majesty, but also means to deter demons and eliminate disasters. The placement of the phoenix makes 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 majestic palace.
Longsheng JIU Zisipu Prison
Lao Si Pu Lao, shaped like a dragon, ranks fourth, and has 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"
Five 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 tyrants, which can be seen in the forest of steles and some historical sites.
Old seven dragons gave birth to seven of nine children.
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.
Old eight, the streamer of sunflower
Eight of the nine children born in the Year of the Loong.
The coffin is like a dragon, ranking eighth, and his life is 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.

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 is something under the rain god in Buddhist scriptures, which can put out fires. 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.
[Edit this paragraph] Introduction of Longsheng Jiuzi (2)
It is said that Mother Long gave birth to nine sons. These nine sons are different in appearance, temper and hobbies. 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. To sum up, the analysis is as follows.
make an effort
Also called tortoise. It looks like a turtle, so heavy. Carrying stone tablets for many years. People can see this hardworking Hercules everywhere in the ancestral hall of the temple. It is said that touching it can bring happiness to people.
kiss
Also called kiss, tail, look, etc. This dragon is shaped like a four-legged snake with its tail cut off. It looks around in dangerous places and likes to swallow fire. According to legend, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built the Bailiang Hall, it was said that there was a kind of fish in the sea, whose tail was like an ostrich, that is, an eagle, which could splash waves and rain and avoid fire, so it was molded in the corner, roof and roof of the hall.
Pulau
It is shaped like a dragon, but Buron is small and easy to sing. It is said that I don't live by the sea all the time, and what I fear most at ordinary times is whales. Whenever there is a whale attack, he will scream when he is not old. Therefore, people put their own image on the clock and carve the long wood that hit the clock into the shape of a whale to make it loud and bright.
The legendary beast resembling a tiger, whose image was once painted on the prison door.
Also known as the charter. Looks like a tiger, powerful, and good at prison litigation, people carved it on the prison door. Tigers are powerful beasts, so the use of armadillos is to enhance the majesty of prisons and make criminals daunting.
A person who loves ...
Looks like a wolf. Good diet. Zhongding Yi wares are often decorated with carved head shapes. Because gluttony is a particularly greedy beast in legend, people call people who are greedy for food and even property gluttony. Gluttony also appeared on Shang and Zhou bronzes, as a decorative animal face with patterns, called gluttony patterns.
Paba
The favorite water by the bridge is often decorated at the top of the stone bridge railing. Lying on the four corners of the back door bridge, the shape is very beautiful.
An angry stare
Looks like a jackal, killing people like hemp. Often engraved on the scabbard of the handle. Yazi's original intention is to glare. The so-called "the virtue of a meal will be repaid, and Yazi's hatred will be reported." Newspapers are inevitably murderous. People who pay New Year greetings say, "Kill your whole family and have a happy New Year." In this way, people kick you out. Therefore, the dragon appears on the hilt of the scabbard like a jackal.
Hien Kim
Also known as sister-in-law and spirit aunt. Sister-in-law is another name for a lion, so she looks like a lion. She is good at setting off fireworks and sitting well. Its style can be seen in Buddhist temples and incense burners. Lions that even tigers and leopards dare to eat are magnificent animals. They were 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.
scorched earth
It looks like a snail and is very quiet, so people often carve its image on the 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.
Jin Wu (from Jiao Hong's Yu Tang Yu Cong)
Shaped like a beauty, head and tail like a fish, with two wings. Because of its psychic nature and insomnia, it is used to lock keys.
