19SS Pulao 蒲牢

Pulao, 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.

龍子蒲牢，傳說中居住在海邊但卻害怕龐然大物的鯨魚。人們便根據蒲牢其"性好鳴"與"恐懼鯨魚"的特點，把蒲牢鑄為鍾紐，把敲鐘的木杵作成鯨魚形狀。當敲鐘時，讓鯨魚一下又一下撞擊蒲牢，期望鐘聲能"響入雲霄"且"專聲獨遠"
