Extended data

In the concept of the stars in the pre-Qin period, the white tiger was regarded as a god beast and one of the four spirits and four elephants. The theory of five elements rose in the Han Dynasty, and the four images merged into five elements. The white tiger in the west also symbolizes the gold in the five elements.

And the five elements are integrated with the five permanent members, so the "Ruiying Map" says: white tiger, righteous beast.

During the Zhou Dynasty, the feudal system was formally established, the concept of stars was formally mature, and the astronomical phenomena were divided. The white tigers in the west, such as Kui, Lou, Stomach, Zan, Bi, Gou, Shen, are all 80-degree Sundays.
