What do you mean by left Qinglong and right White Tiger?

Four spirits are in charge of spring, summer, autumn and winter. In addition to "Qinglong" and "White Tiger", there are four kinds of animals, Suzaku, Xuanwu and * * *, which are collectively called the Four Spirits. Twenty-eight inns were established in ancient China, which were divided into four groups with seven stars in each group. These four groups are the stars in the sky in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Each season is equipped with an animal and an orientation (see attached figure). Spring matches the East, and its spirit is Qinglong, because Qinglong represents the vitality of spring and the growth of all things. The vitality of Qinglong is equivalent to the germination of flowers and plants in spring. As for summer, the weather is hot, so it is represented by Rise of the Legend. And birds are particularly active in summer, so the spirit of summer is Suzaku. Suzaku is a red firebird. In addition, summer is accompanied by the south. Autumn is full of cold air, and there are more executions in ancient times than in autumn, which is called autumn decision. When autumn comes, yellow leaves fall. So [White Tiger] just represents the loneliness and cold breath of autumn. Autumn is accompanied by the west. Winter is accompanied by the north. Flowers and trees are no longer lush in winter, and animals hibernate, just like collections. Therefore, Xuanwu just represents this season. The so-called [Xuanwu] is a big black turtle, because turtles have a collection image. Black represents convergence. Usually, the left green dragon and the right white tiger represent the left and right positions, not the real green dragon and white tiger. Add four elf pictures.

[1] Qinglong represents the East, and White Tiger represents the West.
