Taowu (t á o w ù), also known as Ao ruthless, is one of the four evils in ancient Chinese mythology. The following is a detailed introduction to the Chinese story network. Let’s look down.
[name]: machine tool
[nickname]: arrogant and hard to train
[category]: Spirit
[Characteristics]: it looks like a tiger and has a dog’s hair. It is two feet long. It has a human face, tiger feet, pig teeth, and a tail of eighteen feet long.
[ability]: one of the four evils
Tao Tao, also known as arrogant and hard to train, is one of the four evils. It originated from Gao Yang, the son of Zhuan Xu. According to Zuo Qiuming’s Zuo Zhuan · the 18th year of Wengong in the spring and Autumn period, Zhuan Xu had no talent and could not be taught. He didn’t know what to say. If he told him, he would be stubborn. If he gave him up, he would be arrogant. He was very clear and virtuous. He was so arrogant that he would disturb the heaven and the people in the world would call him “Wuwu”
“Tao Tao” is different from the other three evils in the “four evils”. In the 18th year of Zuo Zhuan · Wengong, it is clearly written that “in the past, the Hong family had no talent… Hundun; the SHAOHAO family had no talent… Poor Qi; Zhuan Xu had no talent… Taowu; Jinyun family had no talent… Taotie…” that is to say, no matter whether it was hundun, poor Qi or Taotie, they were the sons of all clan members, and only Tao was the son of Zhuan Xu, the leader of Gaoyang family, After the real “Huang” family (the Yellow Emperor was Zhuan Xu’s grandfather). Therefore, compared with the other three evils, Taowu seems to have the lightest fault, but as the son of the leader, he is stubborn and does not listen to the admonition. In particular, he still “tells him to be stubborn, and gives him up to be cruel”. He is worthy of the name of “arrogant and cruel” and “difficult to train”. This obviously also commits the great taboo of ruining the family.
The description of “Taowu” in “Shenyi Jing” is: there are animals in the western wilderness. They look like tigers and have dog hair. They are two feet long. The human face is tiger feet, the pig’s mouth teeth are eight feet long, and the tail is eight feet long. They disturb the wilderness. They are called Taowu. One is arrogant, and the other is difficult to train. It looks like a tiger but has dog hair and pig teeth. This is a metaphor for his bullying and disobeying admonition like a pig.

[spring and autumn] Zuo Qiuming’s Zuo Zhuan · the 18th year of Wengong
In the past, there were eight talented people in Gaoyang family, Cang Shu, decadent, Yi Yin, Da Lin, Long Jiang, Ting Jian, Zhong Rong, Shu Da, Qi Shengguang yuan, Ming Yun, and sincere. The people in the world are called eight Kai. There were eight talented people in Gao Xin’s family, including Bo Fen, Zhong Kan, Shu Xian, Ji Zhong, Bo Hu, Zhong Xiong, Shu Bao, Ji Li, Zhong Su, Gong Yi, Xuan Cihui and he. The people in the world call it eight yuan. These 16 ethnic groups also enjoy the beauty of the world, and their names do not fall. As far as Yao is concerned, Yao cannot mention them. Shun, Minister Yao, raised the eight kais, and made him the Lord of the land. He was the premier of Pepsi. There was no time sequence, and the earth was peaceful. Take eight yuan, so that the cloth five teachings in the four directions, father righteousness, mother kindness, brother and friend, brother and son filial piety, inner peace and outer success. In the past, the emperor Hongshi had a talented person, a hidden thief, a good murderer, an ugly person, and a stubborn friend. He was called hundun by the people of the world. SHAOHAO family has no talent, destroys faith and abolishes loyalty, worships and embellishes evil words, calms down and returns, and serves slander and searches for evil deeds to slander Shengde. The people in the world are called poor and strange. Zhuan Xu had no talent and could not be taught. He didn’t know what to say. If he told him, he would be stubborn. If he gave him up, he would be arrogant. He was very clear and virtuous. He was so arrogant that he would disturb the heaven and the people in the world would call him an immortal. These three ethnic groups also helped their enemies and increased their bad reputation, so that Yao could not go. Jinyun family has talented people, who are greedy for food and drink, risk goods and bribes, invade the desire to worship extravagance, and cannot get tired of it. They accumulate wealth and accumulate wealth, and they do not know how to keep track of the times. They do not distinguish between orphans and widows, and do not sympathize with the poor. The people in the world are more vicious than the three, which is called gluttonous. Shun and Yao, the guests in the four gates, and the four vicious families, hundun, poor, strange, and gluttonous, threw themselves into the four ethnic groups to resist the charm. It is because Yao died and the world was like one, and the people of the same heart thought Shun was the son of heaven. They took the sixteen phases to eliminate the four evils. Therefore, the book of Yu recounts the achievements of Shun, saying that “be careful with the five codes of Hui and the five codes of obedience”, and there is no violation of religion. He said, “when a hundred premier is appointed, the time sequence of a hundred premier is the same.” there is no waste. They say, “guests are at the four gates, and the four gates are Mu Mu.” there are no murderers. Disclaimer: the above content is from the Internet, and the copyright belongs to the original author.
