It’s the boss who imprisoned the cow.

He is the eldest son of the dragon, the auspicious beast of scale insects. Love music all his life. "Remnants of the Governance of the World" says: "Qiu Niu is a species of dragon and is good at music." Legend has it that Qiu Niu is the docile among the many dragons. It is neither bloodthirsty nor ruthless, and specializes in music. With a dragon head and a snake body, it has extremely good ears and can distinguish the sounds of all things. It often squats on the head of the piano to enjoy the music of plucked strings, so its statue is engraved on the head of the piano.

Historical origin:

In the folk, the saying that dragon gave birth to nine sons has been circulated for a long time, but there is no exact record of what the nine sons are. However, this public case is due to " The curiosity of the "True Dragon Emperor" came to fruition. It is said that during an early morning court meeting, Zhu Youtang, Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty, suddenly had a whim and asked Li Dongyang, a well-known scholar of the Ministry of Rites and a great scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion: "I heard that the dragon gave birth to nine sons. What are the names of each of the nine sons?"

Li Dongyang couldn't answer in a hurry. After retreating from the court, he thought about it, asked several colleagues, mixed myths and legends, and pieced it together before he pulled out a list and handed over the mission to the emperor.

According to Li Dongyang's list, the nine sons of the dragon are: Pa Pi, Chaofeng, Jiazui, Bixi, Jiaotu, Chiki, Pulao, Suanni and Prisoner Niu. However, there are far more than just these dragon sons in folklore. Biuan, Pixiu, Taotie, etc. are all said to be the sons of the dragon. In fact, the so-called dragon gave birth to nine sons does not mean that the dragon happened to have nine sons.

In ancient Chinese traditional culture, the number nine is often used to express many things and has the supreme status. Nine is an imaginary number and a noble number, so it is used to describe dragons. If we have to choose nine sons, we should choose the nine who have the greatest influence among the people. Li Dongyang was also in a hurry to make a deal, and the list he proposed was not representative.
