Do you know the ranking of the strongest beasts in Shanhaijing? It doesn’t matter if you don’t know, China story network editor tells you.
The 9th poor Qi
Poor Qi, one of the four evils in ancient times, is considered to be a ferocious beast. Poor Qi in the book of mountains and seas has the characteristics of tigers, cows, birds, hedgehogs and other animals, and likes to eat people. In fact, the prototype of poor Qi was a tribal leader who was exiled by Emperor Shun because of his ferocity.
The 8th barge
Refutation in the book of mountains and seas has the characteristics of both horses and tigers. It feeds on jackals, tigers and leopards and can bring peace. It is said that Bo once fought against Yinglong without distinction. Some people also said that Bo was actually a kylin, one of the “four spirits” in ancient times.
The 7th Bifang bird
Bifang bird is one of the gods of fire in ancient times. It takes fire as its food. According to the book of mountains and seas, the Yellow Emperor was attacked by Chiyou again, and Bi fangniao appeared to rescue him at a critical moment. Therefore, the Yellow Emperor painted the image of Bi Fang bird on Luan Jia as a souvenir.
6th place
Yu Yu is an underrated beast. He Yu was an ancient god and an important Minister of the Yellow Emperor. Later, he was assassinated by two negatives and resurrected by ancient zuwu. After his resurrection, he became an alien beast, living in black water and specializing in cannibalism. Some people say that the process of Yu’s resurrection into an alien beast later evolved into a zombie story.
No. 5 Nine Tailed Fox
If you ask what is the most famous beast in the book of mountains and seas, the answer is Nine Tailed Fox. “Haineidongjing” only records that the Nine Tailed Fox can eat people and ward off evil spirits, but it has no magic power. However, in later Chinese mythology, the Nine Tailed Fox influenced the Xia and Shang Dynasties, and once made trouble in India and Japan. Nine Tailed Fox can incarnate beauty, which is also a kind of magic, right?
No. 4 Yinglong
Yinglong is the first dragon born to Maodu, the king of beasts. It is also called ZuLong. Ying Long couldn’t beat the rain master and Feng Bo in the book of mountains and seas, and later lost his magic power. The dragon clan is like an ordinary beast in the book of mountains and seas, so Ying Long is ranked fourth.
No. 3 Dijiang
Later myths used to regard emperor Jiang and chaos as the same beast. In fact, Dijiang in the book of mountains and seas is a kind of divine bird, which can also sing and dance, accompanied by God and man. Dijiang ranked third because it was the incarnation of the Yellow Emperor or Gonggong. No matter which one it was, it was probably better than Ying long.
Second place: Radix Aconiti
In the classic of mountains and seas, monkshood is the symbol of the sun god and the son of the God Dijun. Sanchuwu occupies the holy trees Fusang and Ruomu in the book of mountains and seas, which once brought destruction to mankind. If it weren’t for Hou Yi’s divine arrow, all the monsters of Shanhaijing would be vulnerable in front of sanzuwu.
No.1 Jiufeng
In the book of mountains and seas, the Phoenix has a higher status than the dragon, and the nine Phoenix is the strongest Phoenix. According to the northern classic of the great wilderness, the nine Phoenix is a phoenix god bird with nine heads, which has been worshipped as a God. Chu culture is the source of Han culture, and the totem worshipped by Chu people is Jiufeng, which ranks first in the book of mountains and seas.
