In ancient Chinese mythology, dragons have nine sons, each with its own unique characteristics.

Among them, one of the sons, the "taotie," is depicted as a ferocious beast known for its voracious appetite.

Over time, the taotie has come to symbolize a foodie, emphasizing its love for eating and its ability to consume.

At a deeper level, this symbol serves as a warning for people to avoid greed.
