Is Xuanwu the God of Sea or River?
Northern water god
God of the North
"Journey to the Songs of the South" notes: "Xuanwu, the name of the North God". "Historical Records" says: "Gong Bei is in danger because of his propaganda." Rebuilding the Six Rivers Map of the Weft Book Integration Volume: "North Hei Di, famous for Ye Guangji, is good at Xuanwu".
Guangdong water god
According to the theory of yin-yang and five elements, the north belongs to water, so the northern god is the water god. Wuyi's "Nine Sentences of Zhang Huai" said: "Turtles are water gods". Wang Liangchuan in the later Han Dynasty: "Xuanwu, the name of water god". "Rebuilding the Integration of Weft Books" Volume 6 "River Map": "The residence of the seven gods in the north actually started from fighting, and the town in the north dominated the storm". Everything needs rain to grow, and water can put out fires, so the water god attribute of Xuanwu is quite popular among the people.
