Zhen is a legendary Chinese cryptid known as Zhenniao. It is a poisonous bird said to have existed in the mountainous regions of southern China. It gained its notoriety of being poisonous from eating venomous viper heads. A famous Chinese idiom “quenching by drinking Zhen” references the cryptid to express “resorting to reckless/inconsiderate action for solving imminent problem.”
