The first episode was broadcast less than 24 hours to the top of the B station hot search first, Douban opened a score of 9.5, and even Principal Wang called for it.

"Five Elements of the Misty Mountains" has a grasp of the action in place, without the slightest perfunctory, so that people can watch it and call it addictive!
"Five Elements of the Misty Mountains" has a strong oriental color. Although it is in the context of an alternate era, the Yin-Yang Five Elements Theory of Ancient Chinese Materialist Philosophy and the Ancient Book of Mountains and Seas in Chinese Zhiwei are placed into the framework of the whole story.
It tells that the five exercisers sealed the demon beasts to the Hidden Misty Mountain in order to prevent the demon beasts from harming the human world and waited for them at all the entrances and exits.
However, one day, the little unicorn was lost because the fire bearer Wen Ren Yihang accidentally broke the seal of the Giant Que Aegis without permission in order to cure his mother, and since then it has caused turmoil in the demon beast world and also brought disaster to mankind...
"Five Elements of the Misty Mountains" has now reached the second episode, and in addition to the unicorn, there is one of the three demon beasts, the angry beast peacock. Today we're going to take a look at the mythical beasts in the animation.

In the story, the Qilin Beast with powerful spiritual power that was sealed in the Giant Que Aegis was not small, it was a divine beast in ancient Chinese mythology and legends.
It is said to live for two thousand years. Gentle temperament, do not hurt people and animals, do not trample on flowers and plants, so it is called a benevolent beast.
The ancients believed that where the unicorn haunted, there must be auspicious rui, so it is also called rui beast. The Ninth Book of Rites: "Lin, Phoenix, Turtle, dragon, called the Four Spirits".
Qilin is the grandchild of Ying Long, Huainan Zi TopographicAl Training: "Mao Calf born Ying Long, Ying Long born Jianma, Jianma Sheng Qilin, Qilin Born Shu Beast, Fan Mao, born of Shu Beast." ”
From the appearance, the unicorn sets the lion's head, antlers, tiger's eyes, elk body, dragon scales, and oxtail in one; the tail is hairy like a dragon's tail, with a horn with flesh. It is said that the body of the unicorn resembles a musk deer and was regarded as a deity by the ancients.
Legend has it that this beast appeared only in the prosperous times of the Taiping Dynasty, or when there were saints in the world, and it was also known as a donkey.
Han folk myths say: At the beginning of the birth of heaven and earth, birds were headed by phoenixes, and beasts were honored by unicorns. It is also said that at the beginning of chaos, there was the Bird King Phoenix and the Beast King Qilin.
The unicorn is a god in the sky, not on the earth, often accompanied by gods, is the mount of gods and immortals, and belongs to the fire immortals.
Juvenile unicorns cannot fly, adults can fly, and adult unicorns can be powerful and small, usually more kind, and extremely fierce when angry. The Lord is wise and auspicious.
Qilin and Confucius also have a relationship. Legend has it that in 551 BC (the twenty-second year of the reign of Duke Xiang of Lu' Lai), he met a unicorn on his way to pray on Mount Niqiu.
After that, Yan Zhengzai's stomach suddenly began to hurt, and Confucius was born under such circumstances.
Confucius, who was just born, looked very much like Mount Niqiu on the top of his head, so Confucius's name became Kongqiu, the word Zhongni.
Confucius was born from a unicorn, because when Confucius was born, the top of his head looked a bit like Mount Niqiu, and he took the name of Kongqiu Zhongni.
Confucius met Lin lin and died, he thought it was an ominous omen, and immediately wrote an elegy for Qilin with his pen: "Tang Yu Shi Xi Lin Fengyou, now is not the time to ask for it? Lin Xi Lin Made Me Worried. ”
Because Confucius was worried about Linlin, coupled with the early death of his only beloved son, Kong Li, he was extremely sad.
Finally, in the sixteenth year of the Duke of Lu'ai (479 BC), he died. After The death of Confucius, the story of the death of Lin Lin was widely circulated.
In the "Ancient Wind Poems" of the great poet Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty, there is a verse that reads, "If Xi Sheng is standing, he will never write in the end of the Lin".

The Classic of Mountains and Seas. It is recorded in the Great Wilderness Of the West Classic, "There are multicolored birds, whose shape is like a chicken, a crested chicken crown, and a thousand eyes on their backs, and those who see the peace of the world." ”
As soon as you see the "back to a thousand eyes", everyone will react that this is a description of the peacock.
The peacock is also a beast, a symbol of auspiciousness in Chinese culture. People think that the peacock opening screen is a matter of great luck. It can bless the removal of bad luck and bring good luck.
The prototype of the peacock in the animation is closer to the strange bird in Chinese mythology and legend, the nine-headed bird. It is a demon bird that collects people's soul, originally known as "ghost car", with ten necks and nine heads, because the sound of "nine" and "ghost" in ancient Chinese is similar, so it is also called a ghost bird.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Great Wilderness of the North Scripture says: "In the great wilderness, there is a mountain name called the Arctic Heavenly Cabinet, and the sea water is injected north. There is a god, nine human-faced bird bodies, known as the Nine Phoenixes. ”
It is said in later poems that its tenth head was shot off by Zhou Gongdan's orders.
The headless neck was constantly dripping blood, and the ancients believed that if the nine-headed bird flew over, it would blow out the lights and let the dog drive it away.
Otherwise, the nine-headed bird will suck away the soul of children, and some areas in contemporary times have relevant folk customs to protect children.
In the Ming Dynasty, Liu Ji (Liu Bowen) wrote the book "Yu Ion", which has the article "Nine-headed Bird", which means that "one head gets food, and eight heads fight for food".
The nine phoenixes in the Classic of Mountains and Seas were originally a bird god or divine bird. However, the Nine Phoenixes have since mysteriously disappeared from Chinese literature and replaced them with nine-headed birds with other names.
Not only did it completely lose its divinity, but it also deteriorated over time and became an authentic bird monster.
The fact that the nine-headed bird is infected with demonic qi and evolves into a disgusting negative character begins with the Han Dynasty novel "Zhou Gong ju dong, evil smells this bird, fate Ting clan shoots it, blood one song, Yu Yu nine songs" contained in the Han Dynasty novel.
Later, after the bird was bitten by the tengu, the blood flowed continuously at the severed head, and people thought that it was ominous to be defiled by blood droplets, so the nine-headed bird became a demon.
However, Ouyang Xiu did not believe this, but advocated that "the fierce ji is in the person and not in the matter." It can be seen that the life of the demon is the same as the meaning of the peacock in the "Five Elements of the Misty Mountains".
Anger is one of the fundamental defilements that Buddhism calls it, and together with greed and delusion is called the "three poisons." It is also known as anger, anger, etc., referring to hatred, resentment, and the psychology of harming others.
And the beast peacock is also the one who has seen the light of his feathers, demonizing through negative emotions.
Many of the people of dishan village thus became his bait, and the peacocks that absorbed "anger" evolved into angry beasts.
At present, the first season of the strongest dark horse in one episode has a total of eight episodes, and the first three episodes will be broadcast as the first chapter. What other divine beasts will appear in the future? Let's continue to disk it~
