    This bird has horns, which is very interesting. Combining the characteristics of different animals, or combining people and animals, this form of artistic expression has appeared in the history of various regions around the world, and China is no exception, and it is very rich. Of course, the Chinese Shang Dynasty more than 3,000 years ago was a cruel and dark dynasty. There were countless cases of human sacrifice, and it was extremely cruel.
