What four kinds of animals do China folks refer to? What's the legend?

In ancient China, Kirin, Phoenix, tortoise and dragon were called "Four Spirits", all of which were auspicious symbols. Legend has it that they are spiritual: "The body of the forest is sincere, the phoenix knows how to control chaos, the turtle shows good or bad luck, and the dragon solves change." In fact, except the tortoise, the other three are mythical animals. The legendary unicorn is like a deer, with horns on its head, meat balls on its body, scales all over its body, feet like horseshoes and tails like cows. Gentle temperament, not stepping on insects, not breaking grass, is a virtuous benevolent beast. Emperors of past dynasties regarded it as the Chery of the country and a symbol of peace and prosperity. People also attach great importance to Kirin. During the Spring Festival in all parts of the south of the Yangtze River, people carry paper-wrapped Kirin, perform "Kirin songs" with gongs and drums, rap about current events, recite the ancients and wish a bumper harvest. This paper unicorn has many beards on its chin. When singing at the door, those childless and newly married kannika nimtragol are often pushed by their eldest sister-in-law to stroke their beards in front of Kirin. It is said that this will give birth to a son. This is a legend from "The Kirin Delivers the Son". According to legend, once upon a time there was a painter who loved painting Kirin. But old and childless. One night, he dreamed that a golden unicorn was coming towards him with a healthy and handsome boy. The next year, my wife gave birth to a son, who was able to paint and write poems at the age of 6, and was called "unicorn boy". The folk favorite New Year's picture "Kirin Send the Son" was also created on this theme. Longfeng is the totem of ancient national worship in China. Feudal emperors regarded them as symbols of power and dignity, and only the queen could wear the dragon robe and phoenix crown. The inner courtyard of the palace is called Longting Fenglou, and the emperor claims to be the real dragon emperor. But ordinary people regard it as a symbol of strength and virtue, which has auspicious significance. Therefore, the key point of the wedding is "dragon and phoenix candle", and full-moon babies should wear "dragon and phoenix socks", which are even widely used in names, places and trademarks. Of the four spirits, only turtles are real animals. Long before dragons, phoenixes and forests became popular, turtles were the spirits worshipped by ancestors and the totem of gun tribes. Historical Records records a legend. An old man padded the foot of his bed with four turtles because the ground in the south was wet. More than 20 years later, the old man died and four turtles were still alive. People see that it has the function of hunger and thirst tolerance, and its vitality is extremely strong. Because the tortoise is born with a long life, they think it has the spirit of predicting the future, and then regard the tortoise as a medium between man and god. Before sacrificial ceremonies, wars, weddings and funerals, banquets, farming, hunting and other activities in the Yin and Shang Dynasties, witches burned tortoise shells to make them burst into strips, and divined good or bad according to the cracks, which was called tortoise omen. It also needs to be engraved on the tortoise shell, so it has become the oldest Oracle Bone Inscriptions in China. Royal treasures, soothsayers, etc. It is also painted with tortoise blood, which is said to prevent monsters. After the Yuan Dynasty, tortoise was also used as a term of ridicule.
