《山海经·南山经》：「杻阳之山……有兽焉，其状如马而白首，其文如虎而赤尾，其音如谣，其名曰鹿蜀，佩之宜子孙。」
AI-assisted contemporary artwork, not a reconstruction of an ancient illustration.
On Mount Niuyang lives a beast like a horse with a white head, tiger stripes and a crimson tail; its cry is a ballad, and wearing its pelt blesses one's offspring. SYNREX reads Lu Shu as the broadcast protocol of knowledge: what truly matters is never forced into transmission — it sets itself to melody, and each generation sings it on without knowing they were taught.
Only words worth retelling outlive the one who spoke them. Sing your truth in a tune others will hum.
Legacy is not commanded into being — it is made easy on the ear. Tiger stripes ride a horse's back, never to frighten.
Textual source · 《山海經·南山經》
Lu Shu resembles a horse, with a white head, tiger markings, a red tail, and a voice like singing. Although its name includes the character for deer, the description compares its shape to a horse. Color, pattern, and sound are as important as the name.
The closing claim associates wearing it with flourishing descendants. Commentary in the linked edition explains this as wearing its skin or tail; that explanation must be distinguished from the main text. The entry documents an ancient wish attached to a being, not evidence of fertility benefits. SYNREX's legacy motif is a modern reading.
