The Sung History says that a man named Leu Chang, an ambassador, arrived at a district called Shen Su, where the mountains contained a strange animal, in appearance like a horse, but capable of eating tigers and leopards. The people were unacquainted with it, and asked Leu Chang what it was, who said it was called the Poh, and referred them to the _Shan Hai King_ for a description of it. [Illustration: FIG. 85.--TARGET IN THE FORM OF A SPHYNX. (_From the Sun Li T'u._). The arrows were discharged upwards and fell into the cylinder behind the figure.] Among other remarkable and interesting drawings which have come down from antiquity in the _San Li T'u_,[308] or illustrated edition of the three (ceremonial) rituals, are some representing the various targets used by officials of different ranks in the military examinations, in which the arrows had to be lodged by shooting upwards from a distance. These are fashioned in the form of animals, one realising the idea of the sphynx, and two representing unicorn animals, called respectively the Lu--which, according to some, is like an ass with one horn, but, according to others, differing from a donkey in having a cleft hoof--and the Sz, which is said to be like an ox with one horn. [Illustration: FIG. 86.--THE LU TARGET. (_From the San Li T'u._)] [Illustration: FIG. 87.--THE SZ TARGET. (_From the San Li T'u._)] [Illustration: FIG. 88.--THE TOO JOU SHEN. (_From the Ming Tombs._)] [Illustration: FIG. 89.--THE TOO JOU SHEN. (_From the Ming Tombs._)] The Too Jou Shen is the name of an animal with a lion-like body and head, cloven hoofs, and a blunt short horn projecting from the centre of the forehead. Two pairs of these form a portion of the avenue of stone figures of animals leading up to the Ming tombs, about eighty miles north of Pekin. I have not found it described in any book.
