Bai Ze: The Wise Beast of Mountains and Seas

Legend has it that the ancient mythical beast Bai Ze possesses the head of a tiger, the hair of a zhu, and the body of a dragon—its form is a fantastical creation, with star-like patterns etched into its skin and scales that seem to conceal timeless secrets.

In legend, Bai Ze is a divine beast said to know all things. It can speak human language and understands the names and appearances of both ghosts and gods across the mortal realm. The Yellow Emperor often had Bai Ze by his side during grand processions. Bai Ze revealed to the Yellow Emperor the 1,150 distinct forms, habits, and restraining methods found in the world, helping him bring stability and order to the land. Beyond being a totem of wisdom, Bai Ze embodies the ancients’ enduring aspiration to “understand all things, seek good fortune, and ward off evil.” Throughout the long tapestry of myth, Bai Ze has ever guarded the secrets and hopes of civilization with eyes as clear as crystal.
