Yin Collection, Lower Volume Radical: Bristle (shān) Character: Li Kangxi Strokes: 22 Page 364, Entry 28 Pronounced chi. Same as the dragon-like creature (chi). Yu Pian (Jade Chapters) states: Name of a beast. Jiyun (Collection of Rhymes) states: It resembles a dragon but is yellow in color; in the north, it is referred to as a ground mole. Another theory suggests it is a hornless version of the dragon-like creature (chi). Records of the Grand Historian (Shiji): When the Western Lord was about to go out hunting, the divination results said: What will be caught is not a dragon, not a hornless dragon, not a tiger, and not a bear; what will be caught is a helper for a hegemon. Thereupon, he indeed found the Grand Duke on the southern bank of the Wei River.
