Ceng Shiqiang gave a speech about the traditional culture of China.

When talking about the mystery of the Book of Changes, Ceng Shiqiang mentioned Suzaku in parallel with Qinglong, Baihu and Xuanwu. These four beasts play a very important role in the traditional culture of China, representing the East, the West, the South and the North respectively.

Specifically, Suzaku (also known as Phoenix) represents the south and is a sacred animal in the south. It has red feathers, is powerful and can control flames, and is regarded as a symbol of Vulcan.

Qinglong represents the East, and it is an oriental beast. It has blue scales and a strong body, which can control the rain. It is regarded as a symbol of rain god and harvest.

The white tiger represents the west and is a beast of the west. With its white fur and sharp claws, it can control storms and natural forces and is regarded as a symbol of the god of war and death.

Xuanwu represents the north, and it is a god beast in the north. It has a black shell and hard limbs, which can control frost and cold current, and is regarded as a symbol of wisdom and longevity.

These beasts play a very important role in China's traditional culture, and are widely used in architecture, art, religion and other fields, and still have a far-reaching impact on China culture.
