What are the four great beasts in China?

1, Xuanwu:

It means that the twenty-eight lodges are divided into seven lodges in the north Xuanwu according to the southeast and northwest of the four elephants. Xuanwu is a spiritual thing composed of turtles and snakes.

2. Suzaku:

Suzaku is one of the four spirits in ancient China mythology, which originated from the worship of stars in ancient times. It is a southern god who represents Emperor Yan and the seven nights in the south. It separates from the gossip and lights the fire of the five elements, symbolizing Lao Yang in the four elephants, summer in the four seasons and the southern heaven.

3. White tiger:

The White Tiger is one of the four gods in ancient China mythology, the God of the West, and later believed by Taoism. Together with Qinglong, Suzaku and Xuanwu, they are called the Four Gods. According to "Zhongxing Zhengxiang", the white tiger was covered with snow and hairless.

4. Qinglong:

Qinglong, also known as Black Dragon and Meng Zhang, is an image in ancient myths and legends of China, and it is one of the "Four Spirits of Heaven", corresponding to the "Seven Hostels in the East" in the "Four Elephants". The dragon's body consists of seven stars in the east of Erbasu. It looks like a dragon with long horns on its head and scales on its body. The reason why it is blue is because the Middle East belongs to wood in the five elements, with neck and neck roots, shoulders and hypochondriac bones, heart and tail.
