Classics of Mountains and Seas"Classics of the Great Wilderness: North". quote: "蚩尤作兵伐黃帝，黃帝乃令應龍攻之冀州之野。應龍畜水，蚩尤請風伯、雨師，縱大風雨。黃帝乃下天女曰魃。雨止，遂殺蚩尤。魃不得復上，所居不雨。" translation: "Chiyou made weapons and attack the Yellow Emperor; so the Yellow Emperor commanded Yinglong to strike him at a wilderness in Ji province. Yinglong hoarded water, so Chiyou invoked the Earl of Wind and Master of Rain, who unleashed strong winds and heavy rainfall. The Yellow Emperor then let his heavenly daughter, called the Drought-Daemon, descend. The rain was stopped, and eventually Chiyou was slain. Drought-Daemon could not ascend back to heaven, so where she dwells (Mount Xikun) has no rain."
Xu Ke (1917), Categorized anthology of petty matters from the Qing period (清稗類鈔 - Qingbai Leichao), "Chapter 98 - Animals (動物類)", section "Pixiu (貔貅)". quote: 「貔貅。形似虎。或曰似熊。毛色灰白。遼東人謂之白羆。雄者曰貔。雌者曰貅。故古人多連舉之。」 rough translation: "The pixiu look like tigers; some say they look like bears; their furs are coloured ashen white. People in Liaodong call them white brown bears. The male is called pi while the female is called xiu. That was why ancient people often mentioned them together."
