What do Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku and Xuanwu guard?

Hehe, being able to ask this question shows that the landlord is a man of heart. I've often heard about it before, but I've never thought about what's in the middle. I guess it has something to do with nobody calling me at 260- 10. )

Don't mention gossip, let me announce my answer first. There should be two kinds (the first one is more credible), as follows:

1, with the old gentleman in the middle. (This version is still very convincing)

Please see that information I quote:

After the rise of Taoism, Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku and Xuanwu were included in the list of their gods, and they were regarded as the gods of guards to demonstrate their military majesty. "Hold PiaoZi? When describing the image of the old gentleman in Taishang, Miscellaneous English said: "There are twelve dragons on the left, twenty-six white tigers on the right, twenty-four suzaku in front and seventy-two basalts on the back. "Very down a peg or two, really down a peg or two. Later, the four elephants were gradually personified and had their titles. Qinglong was named "Meng Zhang Shen Jun", Baihu was named "Shen Jun of Prison Soldiers" and Suzaku was named "Ling Shen Guang Jun". Xuanwu is the "Ming King". Soon, the belief in Xuanwu (Zhenwu) gradually expanded, and it stood out from the four elephants and became the "Great Emperor". Qinglong and Baihu are included in the list of door gods, specifically guarding the Taoist temple gate. In Song Dynasty, Fan Zhineng's Lu Shengzhi of Yueyang said: "I have two gods, the Qinglong and the White Tiger. Yao Ming Zong Yi recorded privately in Changshu? As the saying goes, "There are two great gods at the entrance of the Taoist temple, the god of Qinglong Alina Zhang on the left and the god of White Tiger on the right."

(Hey, some people, don't just look at the last two sentences of the information, but look at the fourth sentence-"It symbolizes wood fire and gold water". What is missing? Hehe, that's right It's dirt. Everything else in the line is a belt, so the earth is certainly more suitable in the middle, so we can understand that the four beasts are guarding the earth, or the earth, and people upstairs say that people in the world can do the same. )

In order to save your eyesight, I won't copy the information of the four great beasts in detail. If you are interested, please visit the following links:
