Creatures from Chinese mythology (Moon Rabbit, Sun Crow, Pixiu, Qilin) (1/3)
Moon Rabbit: The Moon Rabbit is the companion of the moon goddess, Chang’e. If you look at the full moon, you can see the Moon Rabbit working hard mixing up an elixir of immortality in its mortar.
Sun Crow: The Sun crow, also known as the Sanzuwu, is a three-legged crow that carries the sun. In ancient times, there were ten sun crows that carried ten separate suns. The ten Sun Crows each took turns ushering in the day, until one day where they all decided to rise at once, causing a great calamity!
Pixiu: The Pixiu are auspicious creatures that draw in good fortune (both of the luck variety and the gold variety) and ward off evil spirits. Their diet is made up of gold and precious gemstones.
Qilin:
Qilin are benevolent, mystical beasts wreathed in flame and smoke. They are said to walk on clouds to avoid harming even a single blade of grass. Its name is often translated as “unicorn” in English, and it is known as the Kirin in Japanese.
Fun fact! The image of the Qilin was at one point associated with that of the giraffe due to their similarities (giraffes have hooves and long legs like the Qilin, giraffes’ ossicones look like horns, and giraffe spots resemble a Qilin’s scales).
