DRAGON TAOTIE
Taotie is a motif commonly used on Chinese ritual bronze vases of the Shang and Zhou Dynasty. The design usually consists of a zoomorphic mask, described as frontal, bilaterally symmetric, with a pair of raised eyes and usually without lower jaw area. Some claim that the design can be attributed to jade pieces found in Neolithic sites such as the Liangzhu culture (3310–2250 BC).

In ancient Chinese mythology as the " classic of mountains and seas ", the Taotie (饕餮) is one of the " four evil creatures of the world ", along with Hundun (混沌), Qiongqi (窮奇) and Taowu (梼杌). On the other side, there are four holy creatures in Chinese mythology that are called Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger and Black Turtle. The four are also sometimes friends and juxtapose with the four benevolent animals which are Qilin (麒麟), Dragon (龍), Turtle (龜) and Fenghuang (鳳凰).

The taotie motif is a stylized and symmetrical representation of an imaginary animal, borrowing some of its features from the dragon (龙 / 龍, lóng, or 夔, kuí). Some other aspects make it similar to tigers, or even ox or sheep. The animal is described as a ferocious, horned creature with bulging eyes under thick eyebrows, whose half-jaw is adorned with sharp fangs (the lower jaw is absent). The term tao tie is sometimes rendered as "glutton", also known for its voracity.

It can be observed in two ways:
