　　The Iron-eating Beast, now known as the panda, also known in ancient books as "Pi Xiu", "Zou Yu" and so on. "Er Ya" records its images of "bear-like, small head and feet, black-and-white stripe, can eat copper, iron and bamboo", with that it had the name of the Iron-eating Beast. According to the "Records of the Grand Historian", pandas were domesticated by the Emperor Huang with other wild animals such as bears, tigers and wolves, they were used to fight the forces of Emperor Yan. After centuries, panda also became the symbol of "brave army", the strong-like image of panda in people's minds at ancient times can be seen here.
　　After thousands of years of trials and hardships, Iron-eating Beasts are now on the verge of extinction, with only hundreds of them in people's sight. Although they still maintain the habits of carnivores, their staple food has basically become bamboo. Their bravery images have turned 180 degrees and became a lovely fat bear loved by people all over the world. Iron-eating beasts are no longer fighting for people or symbolizing heroism, but they have once again became a "treasure" in the eyes of people with a completely different style.
