Kisah dan tradisi
Zhujian adalah makhluk Tiongkok berbadan seperti macan tutul dengan ekor panjang. Kepalanya menyerupai manusia, telinganya seperti sapi, dan hanya bermata satu. Shan Hai Jing menempatkan Zhujian pada Gunung Danzhang yang tidak bertumbuhan. Makhluk itu digambarkan sering berseru keras. Saat berjalan ia membawa ekornya di mulut. Saat diam ia melingkarkan ekornya. Kamus Kangxi mencatat 犍 juga sebagai nama hewan mirip macan tutul berkepala manusia dan bermata satu, lalu mengutip Shan Hai Jing tentang Zhujian, termasuk tingkah ekornya dan keterangan Guo Pu tentang cara membaca namanya. Bait pujian dalam himpunan Quan Jin Wen mengulang bahwa Zhujian pandai menggertak dan membawa ekornya di mulut saat berjalan.
Zhujian is a Chinese creature with a leopardlike body and a long tail. Its head resembles a human's, its ears a cow's, and it has one eye. The Shan Hai Jing places Zhujian on vegetationless Mount Danzhang. The creature is described as frequently crying out loudly. When walking it carries its tail in its mouth. At rest it coils its tail. The Kangxi Dictionary also lists 犍 as a beast resembling a leopard with a human head and one eye, and quotes the Shan Hai Jing on Zhujian, including the behaviour of its tail and Guo Pu's note on how the name is read. A eulogy in the Quan Jin Wen collection repeats that Zhujian is apt to shout and holds its tail in its mouth when walking.
