十八世紀 青玉貘形佩
In ancient China, the tapir (mo 貘) was regarded as an auspicious mythical beast believed to possess the power to ward off evil. The Tang dynasty poet Bai Juyi (772-846) described the tapir in his Eulogy on a Painted Screen of a Tapir (貘屏赞) as follows: 'The mo has the trunk of an elephant, the eyes of a rhinoceros, the tail of an ox, and the feet of a tiger. It dwells in the mountain valleys of the south. It was believed that using its hide as bedding could protect against rheumatism and epidemic diseases, while hanging an image of the creature would ward off evil spirits.'
A possible prototype may be found in a jade plaque carved in the form of a tapir, Shang dynasty, in the collection of the Tianjin Museum, illustrated in Jade Wares Collected by Tianjin Museum (天津博物館藏玉), Beijing, 2012, p.54, no.38.
