Is the beast a bug?

The northern god beast is Xuanwu, with the image of tortoise and snake, and the snake is also called worm. Worms are not worms, so god beast is not a worm.

China is recognized as an ancient civilization in the world. In the inheritance of Chinese culture, there are many kinds of gods and beasts in ancient myths and legends, such as Bai Ze, Tong, Phoenix, Kirin, Yao, Shen, Ming Bird, Gluttony, Fei and Zhu.

Xuanwu is a spiritual thing composed of turtles and snakes. Xuanwu originally meant Xuanming, and the ancient sounds of Wu and Ming are interlinked. Wu means black; Ghost means yin.

At first, Xuan Ming described the turtle divination as follows: the turtle's back is black, and the turtle divination first invited the turtle to ask questions in the underworld, brought back the answers and showed them to the world in the form of divination.

Therefore, the earliest Xuanwu is the tortoise. Since then, the meaning of Xuanming has been expanding. Turtles live in rivers, lakes and seas (including turtles), so Xuan Ming became a water god; The tortoise lives long, and Xuan Ming has become a symbol of immortality; The first underworld was in the north. In the Yin and Shang Dynasties, Oracle Bone Inscriptions divined that "divination will point to the north", so Xuan Ming became a northern god again.
