Guhuoniao

The Guhuo・niao (Chinese: 姑獲鳥, "wench bird") is a legendary bird from Chinese folklore.

It is described in such texts as the Western Jin natural history work Xuan Zhong Ji (玄中記, "Record of the Mysterious Center", 3-4th cent.), and consulted by the Ming period pharmacopoeia Bencao Gangmu (16th cent.) which collates information from various works.
