The story来历与故事
The four-horned predatory sheep of Mount Kunlun in the Shan Hai Jing: resembling a goat with four upright horns, it was feared as a man-eating carnivore.
Tulou is a four-horned beast dwelling on Kunlun.《西山经》记载昆仑之丘为帝之下都，其山有兽名曰土蝼。
In the Classic of the Western Mountains, the creature Tulou roams Mount Kunlun, the earthly capital of the celestial sovereign.
Amidst mountains inhabited by wondrous trees and divine spirits, Tulou was distinguished by its goat-like body and formidable horns.
It resembles a sheep with four horns and devours humans.经文记其状如羊而四角，名曰土蝼，生性凶恶是食人。
The Shan Hai Jing records that Tulou has the body of a sheep or goat, yet bears four upright horns upon its brow.
Unlike peaceful grazing herbivores, this Western Mountain beast was notorious as a voracious predator that preyed upon human travelers.
Woodblock prints illustrate it as a horned ram under a pine cliff.《古今图书集成》画其为一头昂首信步于峭壁古松之下的四角神羊。
The 1726 imperial encyclopedia Gujin Tushu Jicheng portrays Tulou pacing beneath a gnarled mountain pine, inscribed Tulou Tu in the upper left.
The woodblock print depicts its cloven hooves, chin tuft, and four grooved horns rising above its alert face.
