Pulao (dragon)
Pulao (Chinese: 蒲牢), known in some early sources also as tulao (徒牢), and Pu Lao, is a Chinese dragon, and one of the 9 sons of the dragon. It is said in Chinese mythology that he likes to "roar", and therefore he is traditionally depicted on top of bells in China, and used as the hook by which the bells are hung. Pulao appeared in Chinese literature already during the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty scholar Li Shan (李善, 630－689), in his comments on Ban Gu's (32–92 AD) "Eastern Metropolis Rhapsody" (東都賦, Dong Du Fu), wrote: 海中有大魚曰鯨，海邊又有獸名蒲牢，蒲牢素畏鯨，鯨魚擊蒲牢，輒大鳴。凡終欲令聲大者，故作蒲牢於上，所以撞之者為鯨魚.

蒲牢，傳說中的龍生九子之一，受擊就大聲吼叫，充作洪鐘提樑的獸鈕，助其鳴聲遠揚。傳說其生性害怕鯨魚，因此鑄有蒲牢形象的大鐘，通常用刻畫有鯨魚形象的鐘槌撞擊，以使其聲音更加洪亮。
