The dragon is the totem of the Chinese nation, since the Yellow Emperor authorized the sky, the might of the four directions, the dragon has become a symbol of the Chinese nation and even the whole of China, and a more definitive shape is in the Han Dynasty, from the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the dragon has been identified as a symbol of the emperor and the representative. In the Oriental legend, the green dragon body like a long snake, unicorn head, carp tail, face with a long beard, horns like a deer, with five claws, looks mighty, while in Western mythology, the dragon is more like a winged lizard.

The ancients divided the sky into four palaces, east, west, south, north, and south, respectively, with the name of the Green Dragon (Canglong), White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu (a kind of tortoise-shaped god). In fact, the sky is divided into four parts, to each part of the seven major stars in the line forming, named after its shape.

In the east, the horns, hyper, clans, houses, hearts, tails, and mines are shaped like dragons, so the eastern palace is called the Green Dragon or Canglong;

In the west, the seven western stars, Kuai, Lou, Stomach, Ang, Bi, Horn, and Sam, are shaped like tigers, so the western palace is called the White Tiger;

In the south, the wells, ghosts, willows, stars, Zhang, wings, and squares are linked to the shape of a bird, and it is called the Vermilion Bird;

I do not know if this answer is satisfactory.

Question 3: What is the direction of the Green Dragon Green Dragon in traditional Chinese culture is one of the four elephants, according to the doctrine of the five elements, it is a spirit animal on behalf of the East, the Green Dragon is both the name and race, the Green Dragon's direction is east, right, on behalf of the spring; White Tiger's direction is west, left, on behalf of the fall; Vermilion Bird's direction is south, after the summer on behalf of the Xuanwu's direction is north, in front of the representative of the winter. Among the twenty-eight Chinese astrological constellations, Qinglong is the general name for the seven eastern stars (Horn, Kang, Dui, Fang, Xin, Tail and Kei). Oriental Seven Stars Also known as the Canglong, the Canglong's Oriental Seven Stars - Horn, Hyper, 氐, 房, 心, 尾, 箕, and the shape of these seven stars is extremely similar to the shape of the dragon, which can be seen from the meaning of their words, Horn is the dragon's horns, Hyper is the neck, 氐, rather, the root of the neck, 房 is the bladder, is the coercion, 心, is the heart, 尾, 箕, is the tail end of the tail. Related Sayings There is also in the heart of the dragon's part, some people call it 'great fire', related to rain and shine, and because the green dragon is wood, so it is also the year of Jupiter's year. And in many dynasties there are some monarchs take the Green Dragon to do their own year, such as the Three Kingdoms of Wei Mingdi is an example, and the historical records of the Xia Dynasty is a dynasty belonging to the wood virtue, so he had 'Green Dragon in the suburbs' of the auspicious omen of the record. The story of the Green Dragon In the prevalence of the five elements in the era, slowly began to circulate about the story of the Green Dragon; five elements according to the five elements of yin and yang to the southeast, west, north, north and south with five kinds of color, and each color and with a beast and a god; Green Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, the four spirits of the sky, in order to correct the four directions, the king's system of the palace and the cabinet to take the method of the law.". . Hold Park Zi? Miscellaneous should be" cited "immortal scripture" depicting the image of the old man said: the left has twelve blue dragons, the right has twenty-six white tigers, the front has twenty-four Zhu Bird, the back has seventy-two Xuanwu. It is very imposing and powerful. Later, the four elephants gradually be personified, and has its seal, according to the "North Pole seven yuan Ziyan secret" records, the green dragon number for "Meng Zhang Shenjun", the white tiger number for the "Supervisor of the army Shenjun", the Zhu Bird number for the "Lingshuang Shenjun The name of the Green Dragon was "Meng Zhang Shen Jun", the name of the White Tiger was "Supervisor of Soldiers", the name of the Vermilion Bird was "Ling Guang Shen Jun", and the name of the Xuanwu was "De Ming Shen Jun". Soon, Xuanwu (i.e., Zhenwu) faith gradually expanding, from the four elephants stand out, jumped to the "great emperor" position, Qinglong, White Tiger is included in the list of the door god, specializing in guarding the door of the Taoist temple. Fan Zhineng of the Song Dynasty wrote in Yueyang Geographic Records: "There are two deities in the shrine of Laozi, which are called the Green Dragon and the White Tiger." Ming Yao Zongyi, "Changshu Private Records? Shuji Guan chapter" cloud: "to the Taoist temple gate two gods, the left is the green dragon Meng Zhang Shen Jun, the right is the white tiger Supervisor of the army Shen Jun. Related records "Taishang Huangzhai Yi" Volume 44 said the Qinglong Dongdouxingjun "for:" Angle host Tianmenxingjun, hyper host Tintingxingjun, dibi host Tianfuxingjun, room host Tianyixingjun, heart host Tianwangxingjun, tail host Tianjixingjun, Minjiju host Tianluxingjun." As for its image, "Taoism must use the collection" Volume VII cloud: "the eastern dragon horn hyper essence, spit clouds Yu Qi, shouting thunder sound, flying eight poles, traveling around the four netherworlds, come to stand on my left. In addition, Taoism will also be used in alchemy language, such as "cloud book seven R" volume 72 cited the "ancient scriptures" of the four gods of the Dan said: the green dragon, the East A and B wood and mercury, clarification is not love, churning is not turbid, close to the unavailability of far from being able to shed, the potential for endless changes, so that the dragon also said. Eastern Green Dragon There are many legends about the dragon, the dragon's provenance also has a lot to say, some say it is imported from India, some say it is the Chinese star into. In India itself, there is a dragon god, but the status of the dragon in India is not high, and there is also a physical object - python. In the era when the Five Elements were prevalent, the story of the Green Dragon slowly began to circulate; Five Elements practitioners assigned five colors to the Southeast, West, North, East, and West according to the Five Elements of yin and yang, and each color was assigned to a sacred animal and a deity; East was green and was assigned to the Dragon, West was white and was assigned to the Tiger, South was vermilion and was assigned to the Sparrow, North was black and was assigned to the Martial Arts, and Yellow was the central color. Among the deities of the four directions, according to the Shanhaijing, "Zhu Rong in the south, a beast with a human face, riding on two dragons." In the west, there is Matsu, with a snake in his left ear, riding on two dragons. In the east, there is Jumang, with a bird body and a human face, riding on two dragons. In the north, Yujian has a black body, hands and feet, and rides on two dragons." It is interesting to note that the dragons in the Shanhaijing are ridden, whereas the snakes of the same kind are held, manipulated, or wrapped around their necks, showing the difference between the two; however, the five gods of the five directions are not quite the same as the four gods of the four directions, so I won't go into details here.

Question 4: What are the attributes of the Four Sacred Beasts: the East Green Dragon, the West **, the South Vermilion Bird, and the North Xuanwu? Why is the Xuanwu defense high? Four Sacred Beasts full name: Ethyl Wood Green Dragon Tai Bai Jin Hu Li fire Vermilion Bird Xuan Mo Zhen Wu corresponds to the five elements in the wood, gold, fire, water, responsible for guarding the four poles of heaven and earth in the four Sacred Beasts, the Green Dragon in charge of the wood genus, the main life, so the most people worship the White Tiger in the west, the palm of the gold, and therefore the most sharp attack Vermilion Bird in charge of the fire, the destructive force is amazing Xuanwu incarnation of the tortoise and snake entangled because of the tortoise shell and the attribute of the grasp of the water is the most soft, so the most good at In addition, another saying is that the four sacred beasts palm four poles, in the center of another earth genus Kirin, the first of the sacred beasts, in order to full five elements!

Question 5: the origin of the Oriental Green Dragon There are many legends about the dragon, the origin of the dragon also has a lot of sayings, some say it is imported from India, some say it is the Chinese star into. India itself is in the Dragon God's statement, but the dragon in India is not high status, but also has a physical python.

In the prevalence of the doctrine of the five elements in the era, slowly began to circulate stories about the Green Dragon; five elements of the five elements according to the yin and yang five elements to the southeast, west, north and west, with five colors, and each color with a beast and a deity; east for the green, with the dragon, west for the white, with the tiger, south for the vermilion, with the sparrow, the north for the black, with the martial arts, the yellow for the center of the right color.

Among the deities of the four directions, according to the Shanhaijing, Zhu Rong in the south, with the body of a beast and the face of a man, riding on two dragons. ; In the west, Matou, with a serpent in his left ear, rides two dragons. ; in the east there is Jumang, with a bird body and human face, riding on two dragons. In the north there is Yujian, with a black body, hands and feet, riding on two dragons. It is interesting to note that the dragons in the Shanhaijing are ridden, whereas the snakes of his kind are held or manipulated or wrapped around the neck, showing the difference between the two; however, the five gods of the Five Directions are not quite the same as the four gods of the Four Directions, so I won't go into details here. Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu (black tortoise and snake, Wu is the meaning of the tortoise and snake), Qinglong, White Tiger and represent the four sides of the twenty-eight hosts, the dragon is the East of the seven hosts horn, hyper, 氐, room, heart, tail, Kei, and the seven hosts of the shape of the shape of the dragon is extremely similar to the dragon, from the meaning of their words can be seen, the corner is the dragon's horns, hyper is the neck, 氐is the present, but rather the root of the neck, the room is the bladder, is the coercion, the heart is the heart, the tail is the tail, the Kei is the end of the tail.

There is also in the part of the heart of the dragon, some people call it the great fire of the, with the rain and sunshine related, and the reason is that the green dragon is wood, so it is also the year of Jupiter that year the year of the year. And after the rise of Taoism, these four spirits are also crowned with the name of the person, to facilitate the human name, Qinglong called Meng Zhang, White Tiger called Supervisor Bing, Zhuquan called Lingguang, Xuanwu for the Executive Ming, and in the many dynasties there are some monarchs take the Qinglong to do their own year, such as the Three Kingdoms of the Wei Mingdi is an example of the history of the summer dynasty is also part of the dynasty of the wood, so he had a Qinglong was born in the countryside of the omen of auspicious records.

In China after the ancient times, the head with horns for the male dragon; double horns known as the dragon, single-horned called Jiao; no horns for the chi dragon, the ancient jade pendant often has the size of the double dragon, still called mother and son chi dragon; the status of the dragon is much higher than India. Because in China the dragon is a god, is supreme, is also a symbol of the emperor. It is also the representative of the East, the five elements are wood, but also because the green color is wood, so there is a left blue dragon, right white tiger said.

The star is used in the twenty-eight stars, the eastern seven hosts - angle, hyper, dibi, room, heart, tail, Kei, the ancients imagined them to be the image of the dragon, located in the east, according to the five elements of yin and yang, the five sides of the color scheme of the said, the east of the color of the green, so the name of the green dragon.

Question 6: What is the Southern Vermilion Bird, Northern Xuanwu, Eastern Blue Dragon, Western White Tiger for an answer 1. Vermilion Bird is one of the four spirits, also like the other three, it is from the stars, is the southern seven hosts of the general name: well, ghost, willow, star, Zhang, wing, square. The association is Vermilion Bird. Zhu is red, like fire, and the south is fire, hence the name Phoenix. It also has the characteristic of re-bodying from fire, the same as the immortal bird in the West, so it is also called the fire phoenix. In the ancient records of the phoenix is a beautiful bird, and with its song and grooming for the king of all birds, it can bring auspiciousness to the earth, but also has 'not wutong do not perch, not the bamboo fruit does not eat, not the sweet springs do not drink' special spirituality, and because it is the 'feathered insects' of the Long, so and 'scale insects' long dragon in the legend gradually became a pair, a changeable, a good virtue, became a pair of complementary folklore, more because the dragon symbolizes the yang, and the original yin and yang points of the phoenix (phoenix for male, female phoenix) in the opposite with the dragon gradually became a representative of the pure yin. The phoenix has a variety of original forms. Such as the golden pheasant, peacock, eagle vulture, swan, Xuanbird (swallow) and so on... It is also said that it is the Buddhist roc golden-winged bird turned into. The phoenix myth says that the phoenix has the head of a chicken, the chin of a swallow, the neck of a snake, the tail of a fish, and has five-colored stripes. The phoenix is also said to come in five varieties, divided by color: red is the phoenix, green is the luan bird, white is the swan, and there are also yellow and purple ones. And the Xuanbird is said to be from the Book of Songs . Shang Song. Xuanbird" says: "The heavenly order Xuanbird, descended and gave birth to the Shang, it Yin soil Mangmang. The ancient emperor ordered Wu Tang, the right domain of the four directions.' The descendants of Yin Shang said that their ancestor, Qi, was born from the Xuanbird and established the powerful Shang dynasty. Therefore, the Xuanbird became the beginning of the merchants. The Historical Records. Yin Benji" also recorded this history: 'Yin Che, mother said Jane Dee, there are down the daughters of 氐, for the second consort of Emperor ?a ...... Three people line bath, see the Xuan bird with its eggs, Jane Di take and swallow, because of the pregnancy born Che.' In addition to Yin and Shang, Qin during the Warring States period, the beginning of the Manchurian Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Silla Dynasty in Korea are also related to the swallowing of the egg of the Xuanbird by the nymph. Whether it is the Xuanbird or the Phoenix, it is the development of Taoism that transformed it from a finch, or peacock, or mountain chicken, etc... The transformation from a bird, or a peacock, or a chicken, etc... into a half-human, half-bird fairy who preaches the art of war, to a fully human fairy, all followed the development of Taoism. And in Beijing there used to be three temples dedicated to Xuan Nü, called the Temple of the Ninth Heavenly Maiden and the Temple of the Xuan Nü. There are also Xuan Nü temples in both the north and the south. 2. Xuanwu in the North Xuanwu is a kind of spiritual creature made of a combination of a turtle and a snake. The original meaning of Xuanwu is Xuanmei, and the ancient sounds of wu and xuanwu are similar. Wu means black; Hei means yin. XuanMei was initially a description of the turtle divination: the turtle's back is black, the turtle divination is to invite the turtle to go to the underworld to ask the first, the answer will be brought back to the world in the form of divination signs. Therefore, the earliest Xuanwu was a turtle. Later on, the meaning of Xuanwu was constantly expanded. Turtles live in rivers, lakes and seas (including sea turtles), so XuanMei became the god of water; the tortoise has a long life, so XuanMei became the symbol of immortality; the original Hades is in the north, the oracle bones of Yin and Shang dynasty divination, that is, 'its divination must be northward', so XuanMei became the god of the north again. It is the same as the other three spirits, Xuanwu also by the world's twenty-eight stars into the: bucket, cattle, female, virtual, dangerous, room, wall. And people after the ancient times have the following explanations for Xuanwu, 'Xuanwu' is the tortoise. The Book of Rites. Qu Li Shang': 'line, before the Zhu bird and after the Xuanwu ...' Xuanwu' is the tortoise and snake. Chu Ci. Hong Xingzu's supplementary note: 'Xuanwu is the tortoise and snake. It is located in the north, so it is called Xuan. The body has scales and armor, so it is called Wu. Xuanwu' is the merging of a snake and a turtle with a snake. Selected Writings, Volume 15, Zhang Heng, 'Si Xuan Fu', said: 'Xuanwu lodged in the shell Ruoxi, Teng snake winding and self-correcting.' Li Shan note cloud: 'turtle and snake said Xuanwu.' The Book of the Later Han Dynasty. Wang Liang biography': 'Red Fu Fu' said: 'Wang Liang main balance made Xuanwu.'' Li Xian note cloud: 'death Wu, the god of the north, turtle and snake merged.' 'Xuanwu' for the god of water, the god of the north. Houhan Shu. Wang Liang Zhuan': 'Xuanwu, the name of the god of water.' The Re-Establishment of the Weifu Collection, Volume 6 (Hetu Diyanxi): 'Born of Xuanwu in the north, ... ... to subdue the north and dominate the wind and rain.' However, Xuanwu was upgraded by later generations of Taoist priests to become the Great Emperor of the North, "Zhenwu Da Di" (真武大帝). It is different from the other three spirits. The other three spirits, the Green Dragon and the White Tiger, were only used as door deities for mountain temples, while the Zhu Bird became the Heavenly Xuan Wu. Xuanwu's value increased and was personified in the Song Dynasty. This is inseparable from the Song Dynasty emperors to promote. In the early Song dynasty, there is a legend of Zhenwu, Tianpeng and other great generals of the sky. In the first year of the Tianxi era of the un-Zhenzong Emperor, an incident occurred in a military camp. In the things Jiyuan volume 7 contained: 'camp soldiers have seen the snake, the sergeant because of it to build Zhenwu Hall. In the leap month of April of the second year, a spring sprang up on the side of the hall, and it did not run out of water, and those who were ill with diseases were mostly cured by drinking from it.' True Father heard about this ...... >>

Question 7: One of the main female called Guan Xinyi, there is a surname of the East, the main male has what the Green Dragon bloodline, and the four great families, such a novel what "rogue driver"

Question 8: What does the Green Dragon symbolize The Green Dragon is one of the four elephants in the traditional Chinese culture, and according to the doctrine of the Five Elements, it is a spiritual beast representing the East, for the green dragon, and the Green Dragon's orientation is East, left, represents the spring; in the Chinese twenty-eight astrological constellations, the Green Dragon is the general name of the seven stars of the East (Angle, Hyper, 氐, 房, 心, 尾, 箕). Records: "Taishang Huangzhai Yi" Volume 44 calls the Green Dragon East Dou Xingjun "as:" Horned Host Tianmen Xingjun, Hyper Host Tingting Xingjun, Dibu Host Tianfu Xingjun, Fang Host Tianyi Xingjun, Xin Host Tianwang Xingjun, Tail Host Tianji Xingjun, and Kei Host Tianlv Xingjun." As for its image, "Taoism must use the collection" Volume VII cloud: "the eastern dragon horn hyper essence, spit clouds Yu Qi, shouting thunder sound, flying eight poles, traveling around the four netherworlds, come to stand on my left. In addition, Taoism will also be used in alchemy language, such as "cloud book seven signatures" volume 72 cited the "ancient scriptures" of the four gods of the Dan said: the green dragon, the East A and B wood mercury, clarification is not love, churning is not turbid, close to the non-desirability of the far can not be shed, the potential for change is endless, so that the dragon also said.

Green Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu and become the four gods guarding the heavenly officials, to ward off evil, adjust the yin and yang. Among the four gods, the green dragon and the white tiger because of the physical appearance of the brave, mainly used as a deity to suppress evil, its image appears in the palace, temple, city gate or tomb buildings and their artifacts, in the last occasion, the dragon is not to help the owner of the tomb to ascend to heaven, but deterring the evil, and to defend the owner of the tomb's soul peace.

The Green Dragon, also known as "Canglong", is the god of the East in ancient mythology. The dragon is the totem of the Chinese nation, since the Yellow Emperor authorized the sky, the power of the four directions, the dragon has become a symbol of the Chinese nation and even the whole of China, and a more definitive stereotypes in the Han Dynasty, from the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the dragon has been identified as a symbol and representative of the emperor.

Problem 9: The four great beasts are the Eastern Green Dragon is wood, Western White Tiger is gold, the South Vermilion Bird is fire, the North Xuanwu is water, I would like to know is located in the middle of the earth of the beasts of the earth is what? The five divine beasts are:

The Green Dragon (representing wood)

In China, the dragon is divine, supreme, and a symbol of the emperor. Green Dragon is one of the four spirits, is also the representative of the East, the five elements of the wood, like the other three, from the twenty-eight stars, the East of the seven hosts of the general term: Angle, hyper, 氐, room, heart, tail, Kei. Ancient people imagined them as the image of the dragon, because it is located in the east, according to the five elements of yin and yang to the five sides of the color scheme, the eastern color green, so the name "Green Dragon".

Vermilion Bird (representing fire)

The Vermilion Bird is a spirit that represents happiness in China. It has many different original forms. Such as Jinji, peacock, eagle vulture, swan, Xuanbird (swallow) and so on. It is also said to have been transformed into the Buddhist golden-winged roc bird. The phoenix myth says that the phoenix has the head of a chicken, the chin of a swallow, the neck of a snake, the tail of a fish, and has five-colored stripes. The phoenix is also divided into five varieties by color: red is the phoenix, green is the luan, white is the swan, and the other yellow and purple phoenixes can be said to be the Vermilion Bird or Xuan Bird. Vermilion Bird is one of the four spirits, is also the representative of the South, the five elements of the fire, and the other three, from the 28 stars, the South of the seven stars in the general term: wells, ghosts, willow, star, Zhang, wing, square. The association is the Vermilion Bird. It is also called the Fire Phoenix because it has the property of being reborn from fire, the same as the Western bird of immortality.

White Tiger (represents gold)

In China, the White Tiger is the god of war and killing. The tiger has a variety of divine powers such as avoiding evil, avoiding disasters, praying for abundance and punishing evil, promoting good, becoming rich and wealthy, and tying the knot of good fortune. It is one of the four spirits and the representative of the West. It belongs to gold in the Five Elements and, like the other three, it comes from the seven western constellations of the twenty-eight stars: Kui, Lou, Gastric, Aang, Bi, Chou and Sam. Because the West is gold in the five elements, the color is white. So it is called the white tiger is not because it is white, but from the five elements. In the minds of the ancients, the tiger was something terrible and something honorable. Scary is that it will eat people and animals. And honorable is because of its formidable, can avoid evil. And in some ancient books, such as Ying Shao's 'Customs. Sacrifice Code': 'Painting a tiger at the door, ghosts do not dare to enter', 'the tiger, Yang, the longest of all beasts. The tiger is a yang creature, the eldest of all beasts. It can hold and tumble, and devour ghosts and phantoms. Nowadays, when people have a bad encounter with a tiger, they burn its skin and drink it. Striking its claws can also ward off evil. This is also the test. The ancients also believed that the white tiger is a kind of auspicious: 'virtue to the birds and beasts'.

Xuanwuan (represents water)

Xuanwuan is originally meant to be Xuanji, and the ancient sounds of wu and hei are similar. Xuan means black; Hei means Yin. Xuanmei is initially a description of the turtle divination: the turtle's back is black, the turtle divination is to invite the turtle to go to the underworld to ask the ancestors, bring the answer back to the world in the form of divination signs. Therefore, the earliest Xuanwu was a turtle. Later, the meaning of XuanMei is constantly expanding. Turtles live in rivers, lakes and seas (including sea turtles), so XuanMei became the god of water; turtle longevity, XuanMei became a symbol of longevity; the original Hades is in the north, Yin Shang oracle bone divination, that is, 'its divination must be northward', so XuanMei became the god of the north. Xuanwu is one of the four spirits, also the representative of the north, the five elements of water. It is one of the four spirits and the representative of the north, and its five elements are water. Like the other three spirits, it comes from the seven northern constellations of the 28 stars: Dou, Niou, Nu, Wu, Xu, Gui, Zhu, and Pi. And people after the ancient times of Xuanwu it is explained in the following ways, 'Xuanwu' is the turtle." . The Taishang Huangzhai Yi, Volume 44, describes the Northern Xuanwu Star King as: "The Star King of the Heavenly Temple of the Dojo, the Star King of the Heavenly Machine of the Oxjo, the Star King of the Heavenly Maiden of the Niujo, the Star King of the Heavenly Qing of the Voidjo, the Star King of the Heavenly Money of the Dangerousjo, the Star King of the Heavenly Grange of the Roomsjo, the Star King of the Heavenly City of the Pillardoomjo." As for its image, "Taoism through the teachings must be used set" Volume VII cloud: "North Xuanwu, Taiyin born, the virtual dangerous table quality, tortoise and snake table shape, coiled swim nine earth, the command of all the spirits, to come from my right." At the same time, Taoism will also be used for alchemy language, such as "cloud book seven Xi" volume 72 cited the "ancient scriptures" of the four gods of the Dan said: "Xuanwu, the north of the non-decade water black mercury is also able to soft can be just." The "classic" cloud: good as water. Non-lead, non-tin, non-stone and so on, the water is Hedong God water, born in the first heaven and earth, to the medicine can not be temporary, can nurture all things, so it is called Xuanwu

Kirin (on behalf of the earth)

Kirin culture is a traditional Chinese folk culture, such as Kirin to send a son, is the old fertility folklore in China. Legend has it that the unicorn is a benevolent beast, a symbol of good fortune, and capable of bringing forth heirs. It is also known as the "Central Beast" because it guards the center of the country. The Kirin is second only to the dragon among the Gong Beasts. Ancient Chinese legend in the unicorn and the dragon, phoenix, tortoise for the four spirits, is the king of the hairy animals; Legend has it that Confucius will be born in the evening, there is a unicorn spit jade book in its home, written on the "water essence of the descendants of the decline of the week and the king of the vegetative," which means that he has the virtue of the emperor and did not live in its position.

Folk have "unicorn child", "Lin'er" of the name. North and South Dynasty, the ...... >>

Question 10: East Green Dragon, West White Tiger, South Vermilion Bird, North Xuanwu, specifically refers to what? Green Dragon

There are many legends about the dragon, the origin of the dragon also has a lot of say, some say it is imported from India, some say it is the Chinese star into. India itself is in the dragon god said, but the status of the dragon in India is not high, there is also a physical object - python.

In the prevalence of the five elements, slowly began to circulate the story of the Green Dragon; the five elements of the five elements of the yin and yang to the southeast, west, north and west of the five colors, and each color is matched with a

beast and a deity; east for the green, with the dragon, west for the white, with the tiger, the south for the vermilion, with the sparrow, the north for the black, with the martial arts, the yellow for the center of the positive color.

Among the deities of the four directions, according to the Shanhaijing, "Zhu Rong in the south, with the body of a beast and the face of a man, riding on two dragons." ; "In the west there is Matou, with a snake in his left ear, riding on two dragons." In the east, there is Jumang, with a bird body and a human face, riding on two dragons." In the north, Yujian has a black body, hands and feet, and rides on two dragons." It is interesting to note that the dragons in the Shanhaijing are ridden, while the snakes of the same kind are held, manipulated or wrapped around their necks, showing the difference between the two; however, the five deities of the Five Directions are not quite the same as the four deities of the Four Directions, so I won't go into the details here. Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu (black tortoise and snake, wu is the meaning of tortoise and snake), Qinglong, White Tiger and represent the twenty-eight constellations of the four directions, the dragon is the seven constellations of the east - horn, hyper, dibutyl, room, heart, tail, minuscule, and the seven constellations of the east are extremely similar to the shape of the dragon, which is evident from the meanings of their characters, the horn is the dragon's horns, the hyper is the neck, the dibutyl is the present, but the the root of the neck, Fang is the bladder and the coercion, Xin is the heart, Tail is the tail, and Ji is the end of the tail.

There is also the part in the heart of the dragon, which some people call the 'Great Fire', related to sunshine and rain, and because the Green Dragon is wood, so it is also the Jupiter that year's year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year. And after the rise of Taoism, these four spirits were also given personal names to make it easier for humans to address them; the Green Dragon was called 'Meng Zhang', the White Tiger was called 'Supervisor of the Soldiers', the Vermilion Bird was called 'Lingshuang', and the Xuanwu was 'Deeming', and in many dynasties there are some monarchs take the green dragon to do their own year, such as the Three Kingdoms of Wei Mingdi is an example, and the historical records also about the Xia dynasty is belong to the dynasty of wood virtue, so he has 'green dragon born in the suburbs' of the auspicious omen of the record.

In China after the ancient times, the head with horns for the male dragon; double horns known as the dragon, single-horned called Jiao; no horns for the chi dragon, the ancient jade pendant is often the size of the double dragon, still known as the mother and son chi dragon; the status of the dragon is much higher than India. Because in China the dragon is a god, is supreme, is also a symbol of the emperor. It is also the representative of the East, the five elements are wood, but also because the green color is wood, so there is a left dragon, right white tiger.

The stars

The stars are used in the twenty-eight stars, the eastern seven hosts - horn, hyper, dibutyl, room, heart, tail, Kei, the ancients imagined them to be the image of the dragon, located in the east, according to the five elements of yin and yang, the five sides of the color scheme said that the eastern color green, so the name 'Green Dragon'.

Legend

And folklore and dragon sex sex A said, and cattle cross when the birth of the unicorn, and pig cross when the birth of the elephant.
