Bi Xi is a mythical beast in Chinese legend.
It is also called "Ba Xia", "Long Gui" or "Gui Fu".
Introductions
It is one of the Nine Sons of the Dragon. Sometimes said to be the eldest son, and other times, he is the sixth son. It has the head of a dragon and the body of a turtle, and it is extremely powerful and good at carrying heavy loads. Stone carvings of its image can often be seen under the bases of various stone monuments, which are the so-called "tortoise laden monuments".
Bi Xi is an auspicious animal that symbolizes longevity, status and blessing, It is said that touching it will bring good luck to people, so it is widely used in places such as ancestral halls.
Origin
According to legend, Biyi was the son of the dragon. He carried three mountains and five mountains on his back and made waves in the rivers and lakes. He was later surrendered by Yu. After surrendering, he helped Yu channel rivers and dig ditches. After the flood was settled, Yu was worried that he would cause chaos again, so he built a large monument to record his great achievements and ordered him to bear it. Later it was gradually tamed and became a symbol of good luck.
Regarding the image of Bixi that combines dragon and turtle, some people think that this is caused by the fusion of totems. The race with the dragon as its totem gradually merged with the race with the turtle as its totem, thus the image of Bixi was born. Another theory is that Bixi is a variant of the Black Tortoise because there was no particularly clear distinction between dragons and snakes in ancient times.
In addition, the "Ao" in myths and legends is also a giant turtle carrying three mountains and five mountains. Some people think that Ao is Bixi, but there is no consensus.
Bixi in subculture
Because the image creation space of the mythical beast Bixi is not as good as that of some other mythical beasts or warcraft, and it has been widely used in various more serious situations, in subcultures including ACGN, There are not many items or characters based on Bixi.
- Bixi - a character in The Olympic Adventures of Fuwa.
- Bigui - a character in the Pili puppet show series.
