Qué describe el pasaje
The Tian Gou of Mount Yin has a white head and is compared to a li, rather than described simply as a domestic dog. The text supplies an imitated cry and a protective function against misfortune. Name, appearance, and function are separate clues; translating the name as 'heavenly dog' does not settle its anatomy.
Límites de la interpretación
This entry contains no scene of swallowing the sun or moon and no long-nosed mountain ascetic. Comparisons with other Tian Gou or Japanese tengu traditions need their own contexts. The site's protection motif draws on the passage, while promises made in fictional character dialogue are not practical guarantees.
