Kisah dan tradisi
Kaimingshou adalah makhluk ilahi dalam bagian Hai Nei Xi Jing pada Shan Hai Jing. Ia menjaga sembilan gerbang Kunlun, kediaman penguasa langit di dunia bawah. Tubuhnya besar dan menyerupai harimau. Kesembilan kepalanya mempunyai wajah manusia. Uraian tentang satu gerbang utama timur disebut tidak terdapat dalam Shan Hai Jing. Kaimingshou kadang disamakan dengan Lu Wu karena kemiripan sifatnya. Teks primer Shanhaijing, bagian Haineixi Jing, menyebut 昆侖之虛 memiliki sembilan gerbang dan tiap gerbang dijaga 開明獸. Teks itu menggambarkan 開明獸 bertubuh besar mirip harimau dengan sembilan kepala berwajah manusia, berdiri di atas Kunlun menghadap ke timur.
Kaimingshou is a divine creature in the Hai Nei Xi Jing section of the Shan Hai Jing. It guards the nine gates of Kunlun, the heavenly ruler's dwelling in the lower world. Its body is large and tigerlike. Its nine heads each have a human face. The description of a single principal eastern gate is identified as absent from the Shan Hai Jing. Kaimingshou is sometimes identified with Lu Wu because of their similar characteristics. The primary text of the Shanhaijing, in the Overseas-West-within section, says the 昆侖之虛 has nine gates, each guarded by the 開明獸. It describes the 開明獸 as large and tiger-like with nine human-faced heads, standing on Kunlun facing east.
