Baidu 10 Mythical Creatures

The Baidu 10 Mythical Creatures (simplified Chinese: 百度十大神兽; traditional Chinese: 百度十大神獸; pinyin: bǎidù shí dà shénshòu), alternatively Ten Baidu Deities, was a humorous hoax from the interactive encyclopedia Baidu Baike which became a popular and widespread Internet meme in China in early 2009.

These ten hoaxes are regarded by Western media as a response to online censorship in China of profanity, and considered as an example of citizens' clever circumvention of censorship.
