A sketch of several ancient mammals in China

The stick figure of Xuanwu, one of the four great beasts, is the drawing method of Xuanwu, the four great beasts of children. Xuanwu is a spiritual thing composed of turtles and snakes. Xuanwu originally meant Xuanming, and the ancient sounds of Wu and Ming are interlinked.

Xuanwu, like other three souls, is also derived from the 28 stars on earth: bucket, ox, female, air, danger, house and wall.
