Introduction
Jiuying
Jiuying was originally passed down orally among the people, and the earliest written record was found in Liu An's "Huainanzi Benjing Xun" of the Western Han Dynasty: " Yuqi , Chisel Teeth , Jiuying , Dafeng, Fengxi, and Xiu Snake are all harmful to the people. Yao then ordered Yi to cut his teeth in the wilderness of Chouhua, kill nine infants on the ferocious water, and send the strong wind to the swamp of Qingqiu. He shot them up for ten days, then went down to kill the phoenix, cut off the snakes in the cave, and captured Feng Xun. In the mulberry forest, all the people were happy and made Yao the emperor."
Annotation by Gao You of the Eastern Han Dynasty: "Jiu Ying, a monster of water and fire, is harmful to people. There is fierce water in Beidi."
According to legend, Jiuying is generally believed to be a ferocious animal with nine heads . There are some differences in the image of the Nine Infants in the legend, but most of them are believed to have nine heads, a snake body (some say an ox body), a snake tail or a dragon tail. It can spit water and fire from its mouth, and it can make a cry like a baby. It has a ferocious and cruel temperament. It is also said that it can eat people. Later he was beheaded by Dayu .
In ACGN works, Jiu Ying is occasionally seen in works with a Chinese background (such as Chinese mythology, martial arts, fairy tales, and fantasy themes).
