開學季，不少身邊人的朋友圈里都洋溢著“神獸歸籠”的喜悅。拋開網友對娃們的戲稱不說，中國古代的那些“真·神獸”們，你了解多少？ 商城君先拋出兩個大家熟悉的感受一下： Kylin | 麒麟
Kylin is a deer-like creature that has the ability to distinguish between good and bad people. When it finds a person with a pure heart, the Kylin would bow to them. So when a Kylin appears, people in ancient China believed that there were sages (圣人) nearby.
傳說中，麒麟是正義的動物，它能辨善惡，只對心靈純潔的人鞠躬。因此，古人相信，凡麒麟現身，附近必有圣人。
Pixiu | 貔貅 Pixiu is a lion-shaped beast with white and gray fur from Chinese mythology. It is believed to be the ninth son of the Dragon King and to eat only gold and silver. People like bring miniature (小模型)pixiu to bring them wealth and avoid evil. 都說龍生九子，各有不同。中國神話中，貔貅就是龍之九子，喜食金銀。人們喜歡佩戴貔貅配飾，以期鎮宅辟邪、招財進寶。 說完了熟悉的，商城君再來考考大家：騶吾，你可聽說過？ 《神奇動物2》中，中國神獸騶吾能穿梭空間，卻被一只逗貓棒收服；《山海經》中的珍獸騶吾:“大若虎,五彩畢具,尾長于身,乘之日行千里。” 關于騶吾，TEENS 是這樣介紹的： Zouwu | 騶吾 Zouwu first appeared in The Classic of Mountains and Seas. It is described as a tiger-sized creature with a five-colored striped body. Its tail is longer than its body. It is able to travel 1,000 miles in a day.
