Since ancient times, Shenzhou believes in animism, and also adheres to the concept of harmonious symbiosis, dragons, lions, tigers and leopards, Ji Rui and Xianghe, and the culture of Chinese basketball is inseparable from the fertile soil of Shenzhou. CBA currently has 20 teams, 17 teams with animal imagery as the main body, except for Tianjin Forerunner, Ningbo Fubon Rockets, and Beijing Forbidden Warriors.

Although the history of the CBA is not long, the early military teams, promotions and demotions, coupled with the team reorganization and renaming, so that the logo of many teams has changed again and again. In the past 26 years, only three teams, Guangdong South China Tigers, Beijing Duck and Jiangsu Dragon, have retained the main design of their team logos to this day, while the two team logos of Beijing and Guangdong have almost maintained the original appearance of the 1995 league.

Fans jokingly called watching the CBA team logo visit the zoo, but it is also a rare species park.

The Guangdong South China Tiger was listed as a national first-class protected animal in 1989, and four years later, the name was used by a team and became the most imposing team name in the Chinese basketball world for more than two decades. Tiger, the king of the hundred beasts, tiger tiger is powerful, this is also the animal that many teams like.

The Jilin Siberian Tiger from 1998 to the present, and the Xinjiang Flying Tiger from 2002 to the present, these three tigers also happen to be the three major tiger species in China. The Xinjiang tiger, also known as the Tarim tiger or the Rob tiger, is also known as the Central Asian tiger, but it is unfortunately extinct. There are two other subspecies in our country, the Bengal tiger and the Indochinese tiger. All three teams have a strong cultural heritage, and they have never changed their mascots since entering the league.

The second precious species is the leopard, the first year of the CBA avant-garde cheetah, this military team actually only survived in the league for one year, after relegation until the 99-00 season did not see the figure again, but then it was merged with Beijing Aoshen, and then disappeared. However, the Avant-Garde Sports Association is still there today, and recently appeared at the National Games.

Since then, the league has successively appeared in 2001 Shenzhen Runxun Yikang Flying Leopard, 2005 to the present Dongguan (Shenzhen) Leopard, Liaoning in 2011 changed its name to Jaguar, the following year changed to Flying Leopard. In fact, there are many Chinese leopard species, but these teams are not named after leopard species, which is less unique.

Although there are many tigers and leopards, in fact, lions are the animals that appear most in the CBA.

Chinese lion culture has been prevalent for thousands of years, and stone lions are all over the world, flourishing in tigers and leopards, but in fact, China does not produce lions, and perhaps it is precisely such a distance that it is more auspicious. The earliest CBA was the Shenbu Lion in the first year, followed by the 2001 BenQ Sina Lion, the 2002 Shandong Kingston Lion, the 2006 Guangsha Lion, the 2008 Tianjin Golden Lion, and the 2010 Foshan Dragon Lion.

Shenbu was demoted twice in the early CBA, and after the withdrawal of the troops, they changed their name to Shenbu Donghua in 2004, and a year later, they traveled to Zhejiang, which was the predecessor of Zhejiang Guangsha. After another year, Guangsha rushed into the CBA, and his face had changed beyond recognition, and only the fierce lion who had changed his word could prove that they had a connection.

The predecessor of Foshan Dragon lion is Shaanxi Qilin, after moving to Foshan in 2010, the team went into the countryside and preferred the local dragon and lion dance culture, becoming a team with local characteristics, and then moved to Guangzhou. In this way, they became the first team in history to have both unicorns and lions.

The second branch is the Shandong Qilin that has now been renamed, Shandong has its own reason, Juye County in Heze City is called "the hometown of China's Qilin", and it is rumored that on the eve of Confucius's birth, there is a Qilin tuyu book in his home, which is also a sign of auspiciousness. By the way, Shaanxi also has Qilin Village, in Chengguan Town, Hanyin County, Ankang City.

The history of the Shandong team has used two kinds of animals, the earliest is the Shandong fire bull, two horns pierced the basketball, very imposing. Later, kingston lions and golden lions were used, one was a side flying lion pedal basketball, and the other was a five-clawed basketball directly under the lion's face. In 2014, the first time the high-speed entry changed the name of the golden lion to Venus, with five stars surrounding the formation of the team logo, it seems to be a bit simple, the original was in order to register in a hurry, and then 7 years, until the West King left, the high-speed second time into the ownership of the kirin.

It has been 11 years since Shaanxi moved south in 2010 to unlock the Kirin again, but Shaanxi is not the first, and there is a Southern Kirin in the first year of the CBA. The South were relegated after only one year, and although the 99-00 season returned with the Southern Lightning, it broke up again a year later. Shaanxi and the south also have a Qilin origin, and the team has absorbed some southern players, and Shan Weiguo is one of the representatives.

Like the Unicorn, the fictional dragon is much loved.

The CBA's Jiangsu Dragon is the most representative and continues to this day, followed by the Hong Kong Flying Dragon in 2002, the Henan Raptors in 2004 (moved to Shanxi in 2006), the Liaoning Dragon in 2008 (renamed Jaguar in 2011), the Dragon and Lion in 2010 (from Foshan to Guangzhou in 16 years), and the Chongqing Dragon in 2014 (15 to Beijing, changed to the Forbidden Warriors in 19 years).

Chinese people have a deep love for dragon culture, Changzhou City in Jiangsu Province has another name for "Six Dragon City", and there are a large number of cultural relics related to dragon culture in the museum, including the dragon head jade ornament of "The First Dragon in Jiangnan". Henan is known as the hometown of the dragon, after relocating to Shanxi, Taiyuan is also known as "Dragon City", and the traditions of dragon culture can be found in the rest of the place.

Myths and legends are always fascinating, Tongxi entered the league in 2014, so the Great Sage came. The mountains and seas are connected to the clouds, and the hometown of the Great Sage is located in the foothills of Yuntai Mountain in Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province, so from this point of view, Tongxi likes the Great Sage, but he does not just want to make a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace.

Fiction is hope, pragmatism is the fine tradition of China, the bull is soaring, the golden bull sends blessings, as the most important partner in China's farming culture, the cow pins all the good wishes of people. Shandong fire bull first rushed into the CBA, there are also legendary stories here, during the Warring States period, the famous Yan state general Le Yi broke through, Jucheng and Jimo two isolated cities were weak, and then the State of Qi transferred Le Yi with a divisive count, Tian Shan fought Yan with a fire bull, and Lian Ke more than seventy cities.

Probably, Shandong also wanted to sweep the CBA with a fire bull array.

Two years after the fire bull left the league, in 2004, Yunnan Running Bull broke into the CBA in the Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, the Hani cattle culture has a long history, and there is a mythical story of the Hani people creating the world with cattle in "Othurme", and the cattle body painting festival is now a major local feature.

In 2009, Yunnan Benniu withdrew from the historical stage, and in the same year, Zhejiang Wanma changed its name to Golden Bull. The meaning of Zhejiang is simple and clear, the main sponsor is Chouzhou Bank, and the golden bull represents "money" in the zodiac, and it is the embodiment of the bull market in the financial world. There is also a layer of significance, when the Zhejiang team settled in Yiwu, the bullfighting customs there are intangible cultural heritage left behind in the era of agricultural civilization.

Zhejiang is one of the six elders of the league, in 1995, when other teams were selecting lions, tigers and leopards, a cute little squirrel appeared in Zhejiang's team logo. This is not a rare animal, but until the short video era, the little squirrel by the West Lake became an Internet celebrity, and everyone could understand the ingenuity of that year.

By the way, there are two small animals squirrels and ducks in the first year, zhejiang squirrels are used to feed, and Beijing ducks have to be dedicated to people's appetites.

The two military teams in the first year of the first year also had a special fate, and the military teams were mostly disbanded after a few years, and the eagles went to defend the territorial airspace of the motherland, and the horses of the Zimbabwean army were no longer found.

Unexpectedly, many years later, Qingdao Double Star inherited the basketball ideal of Jijun Tianma and entered the league in 2008, and their team logo was not the group of flying Pegasus, but an eagle that soared for nine days.

A maverick team also loves the Eagles, Beijing Aoshen.

In 1997, Aushin was established, and the owner Li Su had lofty ambitions from the beginning, such as the eagle flying in the sky, and the training system of Aushin was different from most teams at that time. Unfortunately, this freedom eventually became more and more serious in the contradiction between Li Su and the Chinese Basketball Association, and eventually became a slightly tragic team in Chinese basketball, and those little eagles who had expected to fly high could only fly in all directions and fall into the rivers and lakes.

Those who run on the ground, those who fly in the sky, those who are imaginary in mythology are all there, and those who swim in the water have come early. In 1996, the Shanghai Shark swam into the CBA, and in the future, whether it is Yao Ming towering, the champion is added, or the team has repeatedly changed sponsors, whether the shark is to the left or to the right, the shark is always there.

The precious animal Chinese sturgeon is known as the "Fish King of the Yangtze River", but in fact, it also appears occasionally in the Minjiang River in Fujian, and has been mistakenly caught by fishermen several times in the past decade or so. The sponsor of the Fujian men's basketball team is named Xunxing, which is probably their initial point of convergence, since its establishment in 1999, to enter the CBA for more than a decade, it is still looking for direction in the "sturgeon".

Of course, the largest aquatic animal must be the sichuan blue whale, which is the largest known animal. However, there should be many people asking, even if Sichuan was a sea tens of millions of years ago, but now far away from the ocean, why shouldn't it be a panda with the blue whale as the team logo?

The Sichuan men's basketball team in 1996 thought the same thing, so that team was called Sichuan Pandas. The cute panda dribbled and ran, and sure enough, the national treasure was really cute and tight no matter what it did, but unfortunately, the Sichuan men's basketball team did not bring the national treasure back to the league after years of ups and downs.

Kung Fu panda Han Dejun, the 07-08 season is his rookie year, but also liaoning pan pan in the last year of the league, in the dark, this intersection is very coincidental. Liaoning was originally named Hunter, and a shotgun was quite imposing, but because the sponsor was Panpan Group, the hunter gun pointed to the panda, which was inappropriate, so it was changed.

Liaoning Hunter is also the earliest non-animal figure in the league, over the years, the CBA has rarely left the animal category, bayi rocket inheritance to Ningbo Fubang, Shandong's Venus and king. Until recent years, under the wave of public opinion, some teams have tried to give up animals, and only then did they have the historical significance of Tianjin forerunners, taking basketball to land in Tianjin, and the Forbidden Warriors of Beijing are in harmony with the Imperial City.

The CBA not only focuses on upgrading, or even replacing, the biggest change is actually in the jersey, since Li Ning sponsored the CBA, the original team logo in the middle of the jersey has gradually become a pinyin letter. In the first stage of this season, only a small number of teams such as Liaoning, Shenzhen, Tongxi and Beijing Control have team logos or sub-logos on their chests.

Rare animals, totem civilization, animal culture is not wrong, people really criticize is not brilliant enough team logo design, frequent name changes, and team culture and local cultural history interaction is not enough. The 26-year-old CBA sounds like a long time, but in fact, it is still young, and the answer you may want is to find it in the long-standing Chinese culture.

The unicorn is coming, and the CBA Zoo is a little more lively, but the tourists want more.
