Ducks
[CV:Haruka Tomatsu]
Out of the classic: (Pre-Qin) "Classic of Mountains and Seas"
First of all, I have seen countless people mispronounce it, this word is pronounced < zhen four times>, not the dove of The Hasegawa Little Dove, don't get confused.
The legend of the dove comes from the > of the < Mountains and Seas, which is recorded as < Yao Bi Shan and sixty miles east, known as yao bi shan, its wood is more than a catalpa, its yin is more green, and its yang is more platinum. There are birds, whose shape is like a pheasant, a constant eater, and a bird with the name of the duck. >, a bird recorded in classical literature such as the Book of Han, it is said that the bird has gorgeous feathers, resembles a bird of prey, is larger than an eagle, and specializes in poisonous snakes. Many ancient books also record the killing of people by wine. In the folk, it is called < Tongli Bird >.
But in fact, there are no birds with deadly and poisonous feathers in nature, and there is no record in ancient books that clearly indicates what kind of birds the duck is, and the ancient partridge wine is actually mostly arsenic poisoned wine. The duck should be just a mistaken load of legendary birds, or some birds of prey that catch snakes and eat.
Heyohime
Kiyohime
[CV:Momohime Yukinari]
Source: (Heian) Minamoto Takakuni, "Collection of Past and Present Objects"
The moon people should be more familiar with this one, and it is also a more famous yokai in Japanese history.
The allusions are from the famous collection of stories from ancient Japan< the > of the Tales of the Present and the Past, which is said to have been compiled by Genraka Kuni, who was then Uji Daina, but may have been written by someone else.
The story describes that during the time of Emperor Daigo, a monk named < Anzhen > was born with a very handsome life, passing through Kumano in Kii Kingdom (probably now in Tadatoshi City, Wakayama Prefecture) on the way to Oshu to pay homage, and spending the night in Shochu. Qingji, the daughter of the owner of the villa, was born very beautiful, and after seeing Anzhen, she fell in love with him at first sight and boldly confessed, but Anzhen did not like Qingji,a warm and bold woman. On the pretext of saying that it is inconvenient to stay for a long time on the way to the shrine, I will come back when I finish my visit to Oshu.
However, after the visit, Anzhen secretly bypassed Kumano. Later, Qingji knew that she had been deceived, so she went after Anzhen and met him on the way. Who knows that Anzhen first insisted that she recognized the wrong person, and then coincided with Quan Xian (the embodiment of the bodhisattva in Japanese) to catch a ghost, and Anzhen immediately fled when Qingji was bound by the ghost. Qingji has been furious ever since, and her anger has turned her into a half-human, half-snake monster.
She chased An Zhen all the way to the temple where he was< Daocheng Temple >, An Zhen finally went nowhere, knocked down the big Fan bell in the temple, hid herself in the bell, and Qing Ji, who was transformed into a monster, could not get close to the big bell, but she spat out flames, burned An Zhen alive in the bell, and then disappeared as a snake. There are still many differences between the story and the plot in the game.

Etsu Makoto
[CV:Satomi Sato]
Texts: (Southern and Northern Dynasties) "Taiping Chronicle", (Edo) Toriyama Shiyan "Present and Past Drawings continue to be a hundred ghosts"
The > of the Taiping Chronicle, a < of classical Japanese literature, is a monster named < you who shot monster birds>. This story is well known because it is the theme song title of the soul demon dream in the East, and there is also a strange bird in Guangzhou. Actually the correct sentence is widespread, shooting, strange birds, things.
It is the story of a man named Guangyou who shoots a strange bird. Incidentally< the Taiping Chronicle > was written around 1370 AD, known in Japanese history as the > period of the < Southern and Northern Dynasties, but it is not the eponymous period in Chinese history, which is named after the emergence of two separatist regimes in Japan after the Kamakura period.
The story described in the book goes like this, during the reign of Emperor Go-Daigo, there was a plague of diseases, and in the late autumn there was a strange bird hovering above the imperial palace, constantly shouting <いつまで,いつまで >, which means < until when and until when? > spitting out thunder and fire in his mouth, and the sound shook the clouds, and the emperor asked someone to retire. Only one man named < Jiro Setaki left guard men with > answered the call and shot the strange bird to death with one arrow, and the epidemic stopped.
Later, the famous Japanese painter < Edo period > in his famous painting < The Hundred Ghosts> of the Present and Present, used the technique of < dangdangzi > to write < いつまで > as the name of this strange bird, that is, < to > in Tsujin.

Jump brother
[CV: Takayama Minami]
Texts: (Qing) Yuan Mu's "Zi Bu Shu", (Qing) Ji Yun's "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang"
To be honest, every time I listen to the voice of the jumping brother, there will be a drama to < the truth is only one ~! >, the voice line is too familiar. The name of the Japanese version of the Yin-Yang Division Jumping Brother is <キョンシー弟>, <キョンシー> which is the pronunciation of zombies in Cantonese. There is no cute name of the national uniform.
Zombies are not common supernatural images in ancient China, and the earliest dates back to some folklore of the late Ming Dynasty, until The notes of Ji Xiaolan's < Reading Wei Caotang in the early Qing Dynasty> and Yuan Mu's < zi did not speak> and it was only for the first time that the image of the zombie was described in detail. As for most of our current impressions of zombies, more are actually from the Hong Kong and Taiwan movies of the last century. I have to say that there are still many classics in it.
Incidentally, many people have always misunderstood that the daughter of the Yellow Emperor< ray> is the earliest zombie, in fact, because the ancients misused her name < >, in fact, the female ray is only the god of drought, and has nothing to do with zombies.

Snow Girl
[CV:Ayaka Suwa]
Texts: (Muromachi) Master Munakata "The Tale of the Munakata Kingdoms", (Modern) Koizumi Yakumo "Snow Girl"
Snow Girls are also a well-known yokai in Japanese culture, first seen in the < Sect Gion >, a < Gyōshū master at the end of> the Muromachi period, who said that he himself had seen the monster of the Snow Girl during his travels. Legends about snow maidens are spread throughout Japan. The most representative snow maiden, dressed in a white costume representing death, specializes in capturing the man of her choice and freezing it and sucking up the man's essence.
What really made the image of the Snow Girl a household name in Japanese history was the strange novel written by the most famous naturalized foreigner in Japanese history, < Koizumi Yakumo >< the Snow Girl >, and the image of the Snow Girl was probably developed from this.
The thing is
Sleep
[CV: By Kanai]
Texts: (Jin) Gan Bao's "Search for God", (Edo) Toriyama Shiyan's "Drawings of the Past and Present"
Jue this style god, if it is a che wan fan, it should be very familiar, and it is the same prototype as the Lord of the Earth Spirit Temple, and even the ability is the same. This yokai is a legendary yokai near > in Gifu Prefecture, < modern Japan (near Nagoya). This monster can read minds, and its whole body is covered with black hair, and it looks like an ape.
According to the examination of folklorists, the legend of Jue can be more certainly considered to be derived from the ancient Chinese myths and legends of the monster < >, which was first recorded in the famous ancient Zhiwei novel < The Book of Search for Gods> as < on the high mountains in the southwest of Shu, there are things, similar to monkeys, seven feet long, able to do human deeds, good at walking and chasing people, or > of apes.
According to the records, this monster is said to be like an ape and can recognize people's hearts. Then the legend spread to Japan, because the < > was too difficult to write, it was simplified to the same pronunciation as < かく> jue. Later, because of misreading, the < かく > was pronounced as the pronunciation of the < さとり>, so now this yokai is generally pronounced as <さとり>.
Suzugozen
Suzuka Gozen
[CV: Yoko Hikasa]
Source: (Muromachi), Oga Soshi
Suzuka Gozen is a woman who lives in Japanese mythology and legend on the > of Mount Suzuka < on the border of Ise Ande Kingdom (i.e., the <Suzuka Pass > on the border of mie prefecture and Tsuga Prefecture, which is now a famous scenic spot on Japan's National Route 1). She is recorded as a goddess and a goddess, and is revered as Suzuka Hime, Suzuka Daimyō, Suzuka Kwonjin, Suzuka Goddess, and so on. There are many opinions about the prototype of Suzuka Gozen, and its specific image varies greatly depending on the lineage and literature.
Among them, the prototype of Suzuka Gozen is widely believed to be the female thief leader of Suzuka Mountain in the Heian period< Tachibana hat >. The earliest documents that record the > of the < Liwu hat are the collection of < treasures > of the Heian period, and some later books such as the collection of < tales of the past and present, >, but they are simply recounting that such a female thief was crusaded, and was surprised by the beauty of the > < Liwu hat.
However, it is not elaborated. In the later books of the Northern and Southern Dynasties represented by the < Taiping Chronicle >, the legend of Suzuka Gozen is fused with the legend of the famous fictional figure in Japanese history, the Vulcan < SakaueDamura Maru >.
In these legends, during the Heian period, thieves were everywhere, and on the > of Mount Suzuka, < on the border between Ise Kingdom and Omi Kingdom, there were a large number of thieves, whose leader was the beautiful female thief < Liyi hat >, and she was finally > by the warrior god of Ise Kingdom< SakaueDamura Maru > and married, and retired to other yokai together.
It is worth mentioning that the weapons used in the battle between the < Sakaidamura Maru > and the < Tachiyo hat > were later handed over to the < Ise Jingu shrine for > preservation, and were passed on to the < Genri Hikari > in later generations, becoming the legendary sword of the Genji family. And the name of this sword must have been guessed by everyone, that is, < ghost cut >, which is also the origin of the legend of the < ghost cut sword >.
However, in books such as the < Mikakusako > and < Tamura>, which were even later in the era, these legends were collected to compose another well-known version of the legend. In this story, the leader of the thieves < the suzuka-san > is no longer < Tachibana hat >, but the legendary great youkai and ghost god < the > of Daigaku Maru, while the < Sakaitamura Maru > married the < Suzuka Gozen > as a tennō, and under the guidance of Tennō, retired to the story of many demons, including Daiyue Maru.
Finally, to explain, < Gozen > is an honorific title for women with a certain status in ancient Japan. For example, one of the three beauties of Japan, Gen's concubine < Jing Mizumi >, Jing is her name, and < Mizuzen > is an honorific title.
O takemaru
Daigaku Maru
[CV: Nobuhiko Okamoto]
As the most famous < ghost god > in Japanese mythology and legend, Daigakumaru is said to have been killed by < Sakaidamura Maru >. The more well-known version can be found in the section above < Suzuka Gozen >, which is the version recorded in the < Miyako >. Let's elaborate on this story.
Daigaku Maru was a famous ghost god on Mount Suzuka who attacked caravans and plundered tribute, and the Emperor ordered < Sakaidamura Maru > to go on a crusade, but was unable to defeat Ogaku Maru. On the other hand, Daigakumaru has always wanted to possess the local beauty < Suzuka Mizen >, but < Suzuka Mizen > is actually Tennō, and Daigakumaru has not been able to succeed.
<, when Sakaue Tamura Maru > was unable to crusade against Ōtake Maru, he was guided by the god Tomon to find the help of the < Suzuka Gozen >. < Suzuka Gozen > said that Daigaku maru was in an invincible position < the sword of Sanming>, and she took the initiative to find Daigakumaru the next day, and lied to him that there was a general who wanted to occupy her and wanted to < the sword of Sanming to> protect herself, and Daigakumaru gave her the sword, and then < Sakauetamura Maru > took the opportunity to come to the crusade, and after a fight between the gods, he beheaded Daiyui maru.
Finally< the story of Sakaidamura Maru > and < Suzuka Gozen > married and went on a crusade against other japanese yokai.
There are other versions of the story recorded in later books such as the < Tamura Sanshiro >. According to legend< Suzuka Gozen > is the female thief leader of Suzuka Mountain< Tachiya hat >, she and Ōtake Maru are the two strongest villains, < Suzuka Gozen > has always wanted to unite with the powerful Ōgaku Maru to unify Japan, but Ōgaku Maru is reluctant to share rights with others.
Later< Tachiyo hat> decided to marry him after > in < Sakaue Tamura, and the two joined forces to retire to the story of Ōtake Maru.
Incidentally, the Great Yue Maru and one of the three Japanese artifacts, < Hachishi Gouyu> have no connection in the record, and should be the original plot of the game.
