Pulao ({{linktext|蒲牢}}), known in some early sources also as tulao (徒牢), and Pu Lao, is a Chinese dragon, and one of the 9 sons of the dragon. It is said in Chinese mythology that he likes to "roar", and therefore he is traditionally depicted on top of bells in China, and used as the hook by which the bells are hung. Pulao appeared in Chinese literature already during the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty scholar Li Shan (李善, 630－689), in his comments on Ban Gu's (32–92 AD) "Eastern Metropolis Rhapsody" (東都賦, Dong Du Fu), wrote:
During the Ming Dynasty, the pulao (in the form tulao) appeared in the influential list of fantastic creatures appearing in architecture and applied art, which was compiled by Lu Rong (1436-1494) in his Miscellaneous records from the bean garden (菽園雜記, Shuyuan zaji).
Later on, the pulao, with similar descriptions, was integrated into various lists of the Nine Children of the Dragon compiled by later Ming Dynasty authors such as Li Dongyang and Yang Shen.[3] Notes1. ^Quote from Li Shan's text, given in Yang Jingrong and Liu Zhixiong (2008):"海中有大魚曰鯨，海邊又有獸名蒲牢，蒲牢素畏鯨，鯨魚擊蒲牢，輒大鳴。凡終欲令聲大者，故作蒲牢於上，所以撞之者為鯨魚." In the article The Bell of the Bailin (Cypress Grove) Temple, the following English translation is offered: "There is the big fish called the whale in the sea and the animal called pulao at the seaside. The pulao is always afraid of the whale. Whenever the whale attacks the pulao, the latter roars. Whoever wishes to make a bell sonorous puts a pulao design on it. The striker is the whale." 2. ^Quote from Lu Rong's Shuyuan zaji, given in Yang Jingrong and Liu Zhixiong (2008):"徒牢，其形似龍而小，性吼呌、有神力，故懸於鐘上。" The full text of Shuyuan zaji can be found at a number of sites online, e.g. here: 菽園雜記 {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100306151643/http://xxgblog.tcip.net.cn/index.php/56/viewspace-3024.html |date=2010-03-06 }} 3. ^Yang Jingrong and Liu Zhixiong (2008) References{{commonscat|Pulao}}
