Are Suzaku and Xuanwu in the Four Spirits of Heaven male or female?

Sky Four Spirits, Qinglong, Suzaku, White Tiger, Xuanwu. There are also four beasts, which are actually the names of constellations. For example, Dragon Constellation in the East, White Tiger Constellation in the West, Suzaku Constellation in the South and Xuanwu Constellation in the North. Therefore, Suzaku and Xuanwu themselves are pictographs, neither male nor female, nor male or female. The shape of the image, one is Zhu bird, the other is tortoise snake.

With the integration of China's ancient astronomy, Five Elements Theory and Yi-ology, Qinglong, Suzaku, White Tiger and Xuanwu entered the metaphysical cultural symbols of China such as Feng Shui in an inseparable form. A and B in the East, Qinglongmu, Suzaku Fire in the South, White Tiger Gold in the West and Xuanwu Agricultural Turtle Water in the North. Four spirits or four beasts are equivalent to the orientation of the earth, China's five elements and heavenly stems. Suzaku can refer to fire, bingding and the south. Xuanwu also means water, north and union. Moreover, it is far more than that. The eight diagrams corresponding to fire are Li Gua, whose images can be China women, culture, red, birds, summer, May ... and Hong Niao, Suzaku and so on. The eight diagrams corresponding to water are divinatory symbols, and the images of divinatory symbols can be male, dangerous, black, dark aquatic and Xuanwu. Space-time, everything, and cosmic holography are all here.

Conversely, Qinglong, Suzaku, Baihu and Xuanwu are four positive directions, due east, due south, due west and due north; In terms of time and space, Suzaku and Xuanwu should not be divided into males and females. Even if they are strong, they should be divided into males according to their corresponding numbers of yin and yang. According to the personnel viewpoint that Suzaku is a woman and Xuanwu is a man, Suzaku should be a woman and Xuanwu should be a man. So, I think, maybe the ancients looked at the stars at night and saw a constellation shining in the south, much like a beautiful red bird they saw during the day, so they named it Suzaku; The constellation in the north looks like a black turtle with a snake named Xuanwu. They are constantly embodied, always corresponding and unified in the concept and cultural system of the unity of man and nature of our ancestors.
