Dragon-Spawn Door Talisman

Jiāotú ranks as the ninth son of the dragon, bearing resemblance to a spiral shellfish  with its tightly closed shell being its defining feature.

Carved onto door-knocker bases  of gates, its awe-inspiring and fierce visage serves to ward off evil spirits, safeguarding household peace.

Known among the people as the "Gentle Dragon Child" for its docile nature and unwavering devotion to duty, it embodies the symbolism of household harmony and enduring tranquility.
