A sheep-like creature with a red mane, recorded on Mount Fuyu in the Shan Hai Jing.
About Conglong
Origin
Shan Hai Jing · Xishan Jing
Appearance
The Shan Hai Jing describes Conglong only as sheep-like with a red mane. This coloring design interprets that brief image as a tall, horned creature with a cream chest, a flowing scarlet mane, a small beard, and fruit-laden tail ornaments. The golden horns, hoof shape, berries, water, and mountain setting are modern artistic additions rather than fixed details from the source.
Legend
Conglong appears among the creatures of Mount Fuyu, a place described as rich in copper on its sunny side and iron on its shaded side. The text does not attach a separate omen, adventure, or magical power to the animal, preserving it instead as a concise wonder of the mountain landscape.
Symbolism
Conglong can be read as a figure of vitality and quiet strength: the familiar form of a sheep is transformed by its striking red mane. As a coloring page, its horns, mane, beard, tail, berries, leaves, ripples, bamboo, mountains, and clouds invite brown, cream, scarlet, gold, or an entirely personal palette.
