What beasts are there?
Qinglong 1
Also known as Black Dragon and Meng Zhang, they are images in ancient Chinese myths and legends, and they are one of the "Four Spirits of Heaven", corresponding to the "Seven Hostages of the East" in the "Four Elephants". The dragon body consists of seven stars in the east of Erbasu. It looks like a dragon, with long horns on its head and scales on its body. The reason why it is blue is because the Middle East belongs to wood in the five elements, with neck and neck roots, shoulders and hypochondriac bones, heart and tail.
2. White tiger
The white tiger is considered to be a god beast formed by seven western families. The ancients thought the white tiger was an auspicious symbol. One of the four spirits and four images, the theory of five elements rose in Han Dynasty, and the four images merged into five elements. The West White Tiger added the meaning of symbolizing the gold in the five elements.

It is the symbol of Lao Yang in the four elephants, summer in the four seasons and paradise in the south. The southern god beast Suzaku is in the shape of a bird. Bird totems such as Nanhuo and Suzaku often belong to the sun worship in ancient mythology.
4. Xuanwu
One of the four celestial spirits in ancient China mythology, also known as tortoise and snake, originated from the worship of stars in ancient times, which refers to dividing twenty-eight lodges into seven northern Xuanwu lodges according to the southeast and northwest of the four elephants. Xuanwu in the north is based on the eight diagrams and the main water in the five elements, symbolizing the old yin in the four elephants and the winter in the four seasons, and is also the land of heaven in the north.
