“Nine Dragons,” Chen Rong, Southern Song Dynasty, 1244
There are nine proverbial “sons of the dragon.”
1. Haoxian: A reckless and adventuous dragon whose image can be found decorating the eaves of palaces.
2. Yazi: Valiant and bellicose; his image is seen on sword-hilts and knife hilts.
3. Chiwen likes to gaze into the distance and his appearance is often carved on pinnacles.
4. Baxia is a good swimmer and his image decorates many bridge piers and archways.
5. Pulao is fond of roaring and his figure is carved on bells.
6. Bixi is an excellent pack animal whose image appears on panniers.
7. Qiuniu loves music and his figure is a common decoration on the bridge of stringed musical instruments.
8. Suanmi is fond of smoke and fire; his likeness can be seen on the legs of incense-burners.
9. Jiaotu is as tight-lipped as a mussel or a snail. His image is carved on doors.
