Dragon giving birth to nine sons means that the dragon has nine sons, and none of the nine sons are dragons, which is different. The so-called "dragons give birth to nine sons" are not that dragons happen to give birth to nine sons. In traditional Chinese culture, nine is represented by a lot, which has a supreme status. Nine is an imaginary number and an expensive number, so it is used to describe the dragon. The saying that the dragon has nine sons has a long history, but there has been no explanation for which nine animals. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that various theories appeared. Some scholar's notes in the Ming Dynasty, such as Lu Rong's "Zhuyuan Miscellaneous Records", Li Dongyang's "Huai Lutang Collection", Yang Shen's "Sheng'an Collection", Li Xu's "Jing'an Old Man's Man", Xu Yingqiu's "Yu Zhi Tang Tan Yun", etc. There are many versions and different explanations, which are summarized as: Prisoner's Cow, Huai Yu, Mo Feng, Pu'ao, Yao Ni, Bao, Wei, Yao shi, bian wen, tao jun tie, qi lin, pepper map, gong gong di, etc.

Overview

The legend of the dragon has to start with Nuwa's black dragon "The Legendary First Dragon".

Dragons, like dragons, are also constantly developing and gradually forming. Although there are different opinions about Longzi, there is a consensus that the number of dragons has reached, that is, the dragon has nine sons, and the dragon has nine sons, and the sons are different. This has been well known since ancient times, but how can they stay in each position in the world? There is an unknown story, which starts with Liu Bowen.

Specific explanation

It is said that Liu Bowen was originally a god in front of the Jade Emperor. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the world was in chaos, war was continuous, and famine was everywhere. The Jade Emperor ordered Liu Bowen to be reincarnated to assist the Ming Dynasty to determine the world and benefit the world. He also gave him a sword to kill immortals and order the Dragon King of the Four Seas. However, the Dragon King had a lot of affairs, so he sent his nine sons. Long Jiuzi has boundless mana and vast magical powers. They followed Liu Bowen for many years and laid the Ming Dynasty for Zhu Yuanzhang

, and helped Zhu Di win the throne. When they were successfully prepared to return to the heavenly court, the ambitious emperor Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, wanted to keep them by his side forever, settle the country, and dominate the world. So in the name of building the Forbidden City, he took Liu Bowen's sword to order the ninth son. Long Jiuzi suddenly called for wind and rain and was furious. Zhu Di saw that the sword of killing immortals could not shock Jiuzi, so he decided to use a trick. He said to the nine sons, "You are infinitely powerful and can bear tens of thousands of catties. If you can take away this sacred monument of the ancestors, I will let you go." As soon as he saw that it was a small stone tablet, he carried it on his body without hesitation, but it was difficult to walk with all his mana. It turns out that the sacred virtuous monument records the use of merit (good deeds) done by the "true dragon and heavenly son" in his lifetime (the merit is boundless), and there are also the jade seal seals of two generations of emperors, which can suppress the gods and ghosts. Seeing that the sixth brother was pressed under the monument and couldn't bear to leave, he decided to stay in the world together, but vowed never to show his true body. Although Zhu Di kept Jiuzi, he only got nine statues. After Liu Bowen learned about this, he also abandoned Zhu Di and returned to the heavenly court. Zhu Di regretted it. In order to warn future generations not to deceive themselves and be counterproductive, and to avoid repeating the same mistakes, he let the nine sons perform their own duties and spread throughout the ages.

Prisoner Cow

Big Boss

The prisoner cow (qiúniú) is the boss of the dragon nine sons. He has always loved music and is the most docile among many dragons. He is not addicted to killing and is not cruel, and he is specialized in rhythm. Legend has it that the prisoner's ear sound of the dragon head and snake is strange and can distinguish the sound of everything. It often squats on the head of the piano to enjoy the music of plucking the strings, so its statue is engraved on the head of the piano. This decoration has been used, and some valuable Huqin's head is still engraved with the image of a dragon head, which is called "Dragon Head Huqin". This musically talented Longzi not only appears on the Huqin of the Han nationality, but also on the dragon head Yueqin of the Yi nationality, the Sanxianqin of the Bai nationality, and some pianos of the Tibetan and Mongolian ethnic groups.

ya zi

The second

yázì is the second child. It is said that he was born with a dragon's head. He is strong and aggressive in his life. He is the god of war of the dragon. The fierce eyes that stared when he was angry were also used by the ancients to describe "angry eyes". Sima Qian's evaluation of the paragraph of "Fan Ju's revenge" in "Historical Records" is that "the virtue of a meal must be rewarded, and the resentment of the hatred must be rewarded". Therefore, the idiom "the revenge" was born. It is easy to kill, so the ancients often carved it in the mouth of the blade of the sword and the mouth of the handle, which added a finging power. It is not only decorated on the weapons of famous generals on the battlefield, but also used on honor guards and palace guards' weapons, which makes it more majestic. Because the emperors believe that they can defeat all evil.

Mocking wind

Lao San

The mocking wind (cháofēng) is the third brother. He is dangerous and hopey in his life. There is a statue on the corner of the hall. Arranged in a single line, standing at the front of the drooping ridge, led by a "immortal", followed by: dragon, phoenix, lion, peony, seahorse, cockroach, carp, roe, bullfighting, and Xingshi. The mocking wind is the second. Their installation has a strict hierarchy. Only the Taihe Hall of the Forbidden City in Beijing can have all kinds of them. These 10 are magical, which means " perfect", and the secondary halls should be reduced accordingly. The mocking wind not only symbolizes auspiciousness, beauty and majesty, but also has the meaning of detering demons and eliminating disasters. The placement of the mocking wind makes the shape of the whole palace both strict and full of changes, achieving a solemn and vivid harmony, grand and exquisite unity, which adds a mysterious atmosphere to the towering palace.

Legend has it that the mocking wind is Pangu's heart. Its shape is often used as a decoration on the corner of the temple. Yuanjian Class Letter · Siljie · Dragon Four Introductions (Ming Chen Renxi) Qian Que (Dooru) Class Book: "Dragon gave birth to nine sons, ... mocking the wind is so dangerous, on the corner of the temple."

Pu Lao

Lao Si

Púláo (púláo), shaped like a winding dragon, ranks fourth, roaring and roaring in his life. The dragon-shaped button on the Hongzhong is its statue. According to the characteristics of "sexual sound", people "where the bell wants to make a loud sound", that is, the Pu firmly is cast as a bell, making it "sound into the sky" and "the exclusive voice is far away". Nowadays, in the whole country, there is a figure of prison on almost every ancient bell.

suan ni

Old Five

Suānní, also known as Jin Yi and Ling Yi, looks like a lion and ranks fifth. Although he looks fierce, he is quiet and does not like to move all his life. He is easy to sit and likes fireworks. Therefore, the decoration of the feet on the Buddha throne and the incense burner is its statue. It is said that this kind of Buddha's decoration on the Buddha's throne was introduced to China by the Indians in the Han Dynasty. By the Northern and Southern Dynasties, China's Buddhist art had been widely used. This shape was created by Chinese folk artists to make it have a traditional Chinese style, and later became the fifth of the dragon. It was mostly decorated in knots. In front of the statue of Buddha and Bodhisattva sitting or sitting with his feet. The dragon-shaped ornament in the middle of the collar under the neck of the stone lion or bronze lion during the Ming and Qing Dynasties is also the image of the dragon, which makes the traditional Chinese door lion guarding the gate more open and powerful. He is also used as the mount of Manjushri Bodhisattva. Today, in Wutai Mountain, the Taoist temple of Manjushri Bodhisattva, there is still a temple where the ancients worshiped the ancients. Because of the fifth, this temple is also known as the "Wuye Temple".

Overlord

Baxia, also known as bìxì, looks like a turtle,

Lao Liu

is Lao Liu. He has a good burden in his life and infinite strength. The turtle under the tablet is his statue. The first legend is that in ancient times, he often had three mountains and five mountains, making waves in rivers and lakes. Later, Dayu subdued it when he was governing the water. It obeyed Dayu's command, pushed the mountains and dug trenches, and made contributions to the water control. When the flood was subdued, Dayu set up a monument engraved with the achievements of water control under the bully, and the image of the bully under the water was shaped below, indicating that the bully was the foundation of the achievements of water control. Without the bully, there would be no such merit. Baxia and turtles are very similar, but there are differences when you look closely. Baxia has a row of teeth, but turtles do not. There are also differences in the number and shape of armor pieces on the back armor of Baxia and turtles. Baxia, also known as the stone turtle, is a symbol of longevity and auspiciousness. The base of some prominent stone tablets in China are supported by Ba Xia, which can be seen in the stele forest and some historical sites.

The second legend is that the dragons once went down to the earth to help Zhu Yuanzhang take down the Ming Dynasty, but when they wanted to return to the heavenly court, Zhu Di, the fourth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, that is, the later Ming Chengzu, did not want to let them go, so he said to the underlord, "If you can carry the merit monument of Emperor Taizu, I will let you go back." He didn't know whether it was a trick, so he agreed. Unexpectedly, he was unable to move again - because the merit was countless, and the bully was pressed under the merit monument. He broke away from the body and returned to the heavenly court, and Zhu Di only got nine statues. Zhu Di regretted that it was contrary to his wishes. In order to warn future generations, he avoided using those self-deception practices that would be counterproductive and regretted too late.

bi an

Lao Qi

Bìàn, also known as the charter, looks like a tiger and is Lao Qi. It is easy to sue in life, but it is powerful. The tiger-shaped decoration in the upper part of the prison gate is its statue. It is said that it is not only anxious for justice and righteousness, but also can distinguish right from wrong and make a decision impartially. In addition, its image is majestic. Therefore, in addition to being decorated on the prison door, it is also lying on both sides of the lobby of the government office, which is extremely deterrent to those who commit adultery. Whenever the chief of the government sits in the hall, at the top of the chief executive's title card and the quiet avoidance card, it has its image. It stares at it, looks around, and maintains the solemn righteousness of the public hall. In ancient times, the gates of prisons were engraved with head heads, so the prison was also commonly known as the "tiger head prison".

Negative

(fùxì) body like a dragon, head like a lion, ranking eight, a good article in life, is another elegant person in the dragon - love calligraphy.

Old Eight

The Wenlong on both sides of the stone tablet is its statue. China's stele has a long history and rich content. Some of them are simple in shape, smooth and bright, and the light can be seen by people; some are exquisitely engraved, the characters are graceful, and the strokes are vivid; some are famous poems and stone carvings, which are popular and are unique through the ages. And negative is very fond of this kind of inscription shining with artistic brilliance. It is willing to turn it into a patterned dragon to set off these handed down literary treasures and decorate the tablet more elegantly and beautifully. They coiled around each other and seemed to be slowly squirming, matching with the hegemony of the base, which was more spectacular.

Kiss

Lao Jiu

The kiss (chīwěn), also known as the tail, is said to have a dragon head and a fish body. Its shape first appeared in the "Bailiang Hall" built by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. At that time, a minister suggested that there is a kind of fish in the sea, and its tail is like a perch. It can spray waves and rain. You might as well shape its image on the hall to protect the hall from fire. Emperor Wu agreed. When the hall was built, the ministers scrambled to ask what was on the ridge of the hall. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not know how to answer, so he named it "Orill tail" after its tail, which gradually evolved into a homophonic "kiss". It is also said that it was introduced with Buddhism by Indian "Mojiyu" around the Northern and Southern Dynasties. It is the thing under the seat of the Rain God in the Buddhist scriptures, which can put out the fire. Therefore, the kiss changes from this, so it is mostly installed at both ends of the roof for the effect of extinguishing disasters and fires. The mouth is wide and thick, and it is easy to swallow all my life. The curly tail faucet at both ends of the ridge is its statue. The Taiping Royal Review has the following description: "Tang Hui Yaomu, after the disaster of the Han Xiangliang Hall, the more witch said, 'There are fish in the sea, the tail is like a perch, and the waves are raining', so it is like a tail, so it is like a fire." The "witch" mentioned in the article is the style of Fang Shi, and "Yu Yu" is the predecessor of the kiss. The kiss is water-based, and it is used as a thing to suppress evil spirits to avoid fire.

Statement 1

It is said that she is a dragon mother who gave birth to nine sons. These nine sons have their own appearances, temperaments and hobbies. Some academic notes in the Ming Dynasty, such as Lu Rong's "Zhuyuan Miscellaneous Records", Li Dongyang's "Huailutang Collection", Yang Shen's "Sheng'an Collection", Li Xu's "Jian Old Man'an Man's Man", Xu Yingqiu's "Yuzhitang Talk, Longsheng Nine Sons", and Yin Dongyang's "Huailutang Collection" and "Tianlu Zhiyu · Longzhong" are all recorded.

The eldest son (bìxì), also known as Baxia, looks like a turtle. He likes to carry weights, and the turtle shape under the monument is also. It is said that in ancient times, it often carried the three mountains and five mountains to make waves. Later, he was subdued by Xia Yu and made a lot of contributions to Xia Yu.

The second son's kiss (chīwěn), also known as the tail or chī (chī) kiss, the fish-shaped dragon (also said to be like a lizard with a cut tail), looks around and is located at both ends of the temple ridge. In the Buddhist scriptures, the kiss is the favorite of the rain god, which can put out the fire. Therefore, it has the effect of putting it on both ends of the roof to extinguish disasters and fires.

The third son, bì'àn (bì'àn), also known as the charter, looks like a tiger, powerful and good for prison litigation. People carve it on the prison door, so there is a saying that it is a tiger's head prison. It is also said that it upholds justice and can understand right and wrong, so it is also installed on the top of the two cards in the lobby of the government office and the officials to avoid it to maintain the awe of the public hall.

Seven sons, Suānní, also known as Jin Ni and Ling Ni. The lion is originally an alias for a lion, so it is shaped like a lion, likes smoke and is easy to sit on, and stands on the foot of the incense burner. It was introduced into China with Buddhism. Because Buddha Sakyamuni has the metaphor of "fearless lion", people naturally arrange it as a seat for the Buddha, or carve it on the incense burner to enjoy the incense. In addition, the pavilion is also the favorite of Manjushri Bodhisattva, and there is also a temple dedicated to the pavilion on Wutai Mountain, the Taoist temple of Manjushri Bodhisattva. Because the dragon is the seventh son of the dragon, the temple is called Qiye Temple, which has a great influence in the local area.

The picture of eight peppers (jiāotú) is shaped like a snail, easy to shut, a docile temperament, a little autistic, and disgusted with others entering their nests, so people often carve its image on the top of the door or depicted on the door panel. He is secluded in nature and guards the door to take care of the peace of the family. It often becomes a ring on the door or a stone drum blocking the door.

Píxiū, with the shape of a single horn, double horn, short wings, curly tail, and mane, is the strongest feng shui tool to promote wealth, especially for bias, such as foreign exchange, stocks, finance, lottery horses, futures, casinos, etc. Since ancient times, the dragonfly has been used as a sacred object to protect the treasure.

In the process of forming the dragon's image, Zeng Haina gathered a variety of strange animal images. Later, these strange beasts combined a certain feature of the dragon while the dragon's image developed, forming a different theory that the dragon gave birth to nine sons. But there is no exact record of what the nine sons of the dragon are, and who is the eldest and who is the second. There are also various folk sayings, which are the same.

A statement of the Nine Sons of the Dragon

It is said that once Zhu Youxuan, Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty, once worked hard** and asked Li Dongyang, the minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies, who is famous for his eruity: "I heard that the dragon gave birth to nine sons. What are the names of the nine sons?" Li Dongyang couldn't even answer. After retreating, he put together and pulled out a list. According to Li Dongyang's list, the nine sons of the dragon are

▪bi xi( boss)

▪Kiss (second)

▪Pu Lao (Lao San)

▪ya zi(Lao Si)

▪Gorion (Lao Wu)

▪Laotle (Lao Liu)

▪bi an(Lao Qi)

▪suan ni(lao ba)

▪Pepper picture (Lao Jiu)

However, in folklore, the dragon is far more than these. Taoyi and others are all said to be the son of the dragon. In fact, the so-called dragon giving birth to nine children does not happen to give birth to nine children. In ancient Chinese traditional culture, there are often a lot of nine, and they have a supreme status. Nine is an imaginary number and an expensive number, so it is used to describe the dragon. If you have to choose nine sons, you should also choose the nine with the greatest influence among the people. Li Dongyang was also eager to cross the intersection for a while, and the list proposed was not representative.

It is commonly said that Longsheng's nine sons have their own advantages. Xu Yingqiu's "Yuzhitang Talks, Dragons give birth to Nine Sons" quoted Dongyang's "Huailutang Collection": "Longsheng's nine sons are not dragons, each has its own advantages, prisoners cows, and good music in life. Today, Huqin's head is engraved on his portrait. It's easy to kill all my life, and the dragon swallows on the handle of the golden knife is his posthumous image. The mocking wind is a dangerous life. Today, the horned beast is its relic. Pu Lao is a good song in his life. Today, the beast button on the bell is its portrait. The lion is easy to sit in his life, and now the lion in the Buddha seat is his relic. He is a good bearer in his life. Today, the monument beast is a portrait. He has been a good lawyer in his life. The lion on the prison gate is his portrait. It is a good article in my life, and the Wenlong on both sides of the monument is its relic. The kiss is easy to swallow all my life, and the ridge beast in this palace is his portrait." Tianlu Zhiyu · Dragon Species: "It is said that there are nine kinds of dragons, each of which has its own advantages. The first is that it is like a turtle, which is good to bear the weight. Now it is the turtle under the stone tablet; the second is that it is a kiss, which looks like a once, and the nature is a good hope, and the head of the beast on the house is also; the third is Pu prison, which is small, and the sex is good to roar, and the fourth is the upper star of the bell; the fourth is like a tiger with power, so Standing at the prison gate; the fifth is that the glutton has good diet, so it stands on the tripod cover; the sixth is that the caterpillar has a good nature and water, so it stands on the bridge pillar; the seventh is that the dragonfly is easy to kill, so it stands on the knife ring; the eighth is the golden lion, shaped like a lion, like a good fireworks, so it stands on the incense burner; the ninth is the pepper picture, which is shaped like a snail, and the nature is easy to close, so it stands in the door.
