Misspegasister28 asks: What are some sacred Chinese animals?

Misspegasister28's avatar

I?m writing a Kung Fu Panda fanfic and I need to make the emperor some sort of animal, because there are no humans in the KFP universe. What are some Chinese sacred animals that I could use as the emperor? Thanks!

Well the panda is so darling and so embodies the spirit of China that it escapes being barbecued. Sadly, it?s not faring so well on the habitat destruction side of things, though. The dragon, the suanni and the P?xi? are sacred because they don?t exist in China and by not existing have cleverly avoided being barbecued.

I don?t know if it?s considered sacred, but the Chinese do have a thing for tigers. It?s been in their stories and poetry for centuries and is associated with goodness and bravery. Warriors were, and are still often likened to the tiger, and I do believe that a branch of kung fu is called ??Tiger Claw Kung Fu. (the kind of kung fu that involves a lot of grabs and limb twisting I think)

Ideas

Lions, tigers, dragons, even a phoenix might be the most traditional. However I was tickled by the idea of a peacock. It?s your fanfic you decide
