The movie version of "Fengshen" was scolded a lot because of a nine-tailed fox concept poster, or design sculpture.

Netizens said: This is the worst time the Nine-tailed Fox clan has been hacked.

As you can see from the pictures posted, their nine-tailed fox has two main "distinctive" features in its design.

One is a forked tail. The common nine-tailed fox design in modern times has nine tails growing out of its tail. They were ingenious and designed a big tail, and then based on this, they divided the other tails.

This bifurcation is not obvious, but it looks like the hair of the tail has been permed and curled, which makes it look like an ordinary fox demon without the momentum of the Nine-Tails.

The bifurcation is not the most unacceptable thing. Another feature of it is the breasts, which is the most criticized thing.

You can clearly see that the nine-tailed fox has obvious chest features under its body, which looks quite weird. Coupled with the deliberate "girly" treatment of the waist and thighs, according to them, they created a just-right "evil feeling". In fact, it is this that makes netizens accept their incompetence.

In fact, it can be clearly seen from the picture that the design of this nine-tailed fox is too "deliberate", with too many chest features and excessive protrusion, which makes people uncomfortable when looking at it.

Generally, this happens to canines when they are in the lactation period. Therefore, it is really difficult to understand why the prototype of the coquettish and beautiful Daji should be fixed in a state of lactation.

Throughout the descriptions of the nine-tailed fox’s appearance throughout history, no one has ever described the chest, and almost everyone’s focus has been on the tail.

The appearance of the nine-tailed fox first appeared in the pre-Qin Dynasty. "The Book of Mountains and Seas" mentioned many times that a place called Qingqiu is rich in nine-tailed foxes: "Qingqiu country is in the north, and its fox has four legs and nine legs."Tail"; "There is a country of Qingqiu, there is a fox with nine tails"; "There is a beast, its shape is like a fox and nine tails, its sound is like a baby, it can eat people, and those who eat it are not poisonous."

< p>The description of the appearance at that time was not very detailed, but it was to describe the nine-tailed fox that I wanted to highlight the most.

It is worth mentioning that the initial setting of the nine-tailed fox was not bad. In the pre-Qin Dynasty, it was a strange beast, and eating its meat could ward off evil spirits; in the Han Dynasty, it became an auspicious beast, symbolizing the prosperity of the king, and it was also the messenger of the Queen Mother of the West.

From Since the Tang Dynasty, the image of the nine-tailed fox began to collapse. Bai Juyi compared Daji and Bao Si, who "can bring down people's families and overthrow their kingdoms," to fox monsters.

But it really turned the nine-tailed fox from an auspicious beast. The evil beast also belongs to the portrayal of Daji in the Ming Dynasty novel "The Romance of the Gods". This novel is so popular and has such a profound influence, so since Daji was bound to the image of the nine-tailed fox, this charming evil creature that has brought disaster to the country and the people is no longer difficult to Turned over.

It can be said that the legendary history of the nine-tailed fox is an auspicious history of darkness.

As for the image version of the nine-tailed fox, portrait stones and portrait bricks were popular in tombs in the Han Dynasty, especially many of the Queen Mother of the West. When depicting the Queen Mother of the West, People always like to add many strange beasts, including the big-tailed beast that is suspected of being a nine-tailed fox.

The nine-tailed fox at that time had a very long tail, but it was not a concrete nine-tailed one, but a forked one. The shape is basically a huge tail divided into strands, and the number of strands varies. The common ones are comb-tooth or tree branch-shaped tails.

The nine-tailed tail designed in "Feng Shen", The basis is also these stone statues. In this way, there is nothing to say about this point, and it can be regarded as supported by ancient artifacts.

But just like the evolution of the image of the nine-tailed fox from good to evil, later generations have no doubts about the nine-tailed fox. The setting has also changed.

For example, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there was a craze for illustrating "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". At that time, no matter whether the paintings were good-looking or not, they basically drew many real lines. The tail is not a bifurcated big tail.

As of now, most people's aesthetics are basically biased towards nine real big tails, and because of the legend and popularity of the nine-tailed fox, the artist Basically, it will be presented in terms of delicacy, aura, and beauty, which is also an aesthetic trend that the public loves to see.

The nine-tailed fox is one of the most famous strange beasts in Chinese mythology, and almost no one would think of it. Think about it in an ugly direction. If Fengshen’s big tail is forked, itAccording to the evidence and the niche aesthetic, it makes sense.

But the depiction of the breasts is really unnecessary. It is true that it is quite the "uncanny valley effect" as he introduced, but the problem is that this is not an ordinary nine-tailed fox, it is Daji. The extremely beautiful Daji who turned all living beings upside down, can she really be able to charm King Zhou when she looks like this?

Some people say that ugly is ugly, but artistic creation can be innovative and creative, and it also requires constant innovation. You cannot deny it by saying "No one can grow like this". So, how to divide the degree of innovation?
