What are the six ancient beasts?

Six Daijoko God Beasts: White Tiger, Xuanwu, Suzaku, Qinglong, Hook and Chenteng Snake. These six animals played an important role in China's divination, especially in Daoism and Liu Yizhong.

1 White Tiger (báihǔ incarnation) In China, the White Tiger is the god of war and war. Tigers have many magical powers, such as avoiding evil, avoiding disasters, praying for blessings, punishing evil and promoting good, getting rich, getting married and so on. And it is one of the four spirits, and of course it is also changed from the stars. Among these 28 stars, there are 7 in the west: osmium, building, stomach, ang, bi, Gou and Shen. Therefore, it is the representative of the west, and its whiteness is due to the west. The five elements belong to gold and the color is white. So it is called white tiger not because it is white, but because it comes from five elements.

2 Xuanwu (xuá NW incarnation) Xuanwu is a kind of spiritual thing composed of turtles and snakes. Xuanwu is the general name of the seven nights in the north: fighting, cows, women, emptiness, danger, houses and walls. Xuanwu originally meant Xuanming, and the ancient sounds of Wu and Ming are interlinked. Xuan means black; Ghost means yin. At first, Xuan Ming described the tortoise divination as follows: the tortoise's back is black, and the tortoise divination is to let the tortoise go to the underworld to ask his ancestors, bring back the answers and show 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, and Oracle Bone Inscriptions's divination in the Shang Dynasty meant "divination must go north", so Xuan Ming became a northern god again. [1] In the Ming Dynasty, Xuanwu was also called Zhenwu, and Judy, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, called herself Zhenwu the Great.

3 Suzaku (zhūquè) Suzaku can also be said to be a mysterious bird. Suzaku is one of the four spirits, and it is the general name of the seven nights in the south. Well, ghosts, willows, stars, Zhang, wings and birds are connected into a bird shape, which is also called a mysterious bird. Zhu is red, like fire, and the south belongs to fire, hence the name Suzaku. In modern times, influenced by the myth of fairy birds in the west and Japanese pop culture, Chinese people sometimes regard fairy birds as suzaku in translation and cognition. In fact, there is no saying in the ancient myths and legends of China that Suzaku will be reborn from the fire. Nirvana of Phoenix is just a poem written by Mr. Guo Moruo with reference to the legend of fairy birds in the West. Similarly, Suzaku is not a phoenix. Xuanniao's statement comes from The Book of Songs. Ode to Shang Dynasty. Xuanniao said:' Xuanniao's life was born in the Shang Dynasty, with fertile mountains and rivers. The ancient emperor ordered martial arts soup, and appropriate sites were everywhere. "In the middle, the descendants of the Shang Dynasty said that their ancestor, Qi, was born by a mysterious bird and established a powerful Shang Dynasty. Therefore, the mysterious bird became the beginning of the merchant. " Historical records. Yin Benji also recorded this history: "Yin Qi's mother's name is Judy, and she has a velvety daughter. She is the second princess in Di Ku ...' When the three of them took a shower, they saw the mysterious bird and its egg, and Judy took it and swallowed it, and gave birth to a contract because she was pregnant.' In addition to Shang Dynasty, the origin of Qin, Manchu and Silla in Warring States was also related to the fairy swallowing the eggs of the mysterious birds. Whether it is a mysterious bird or a phoenix, it appears with the development of Taoism, and it is with the development of Taoism that it is changed from a bird, peacock or pheasant ... to a fairy who is half man and half bird, and the art of war is passed on to a fairy who is completely human. In Beijing, there were three temples dedicated to Xuan Nv, namely Jiutian Niangniang Temple and Xuan Nv Temple. There are also Xuan Nv temples in the north and south.

4 Q and nglóng (Q and Ngló ng) In China, the status of dragons is much higher than that of Indians. Because in China, the dragon is sacred, supreme and a symbol of the emperor. It is also the representative of the east, and the five elements belong to wood. Because cyan belongs to wood, there is the saying of Zuo Qinglong and you Bai Hu. Among the 28 constellations, the seven constellations in the East are Jiao, Kang, Bian, Fang, Xin, Wei and Ji. The ancients imagined them as Jackie Chan. Because it is located in the east, the five elements are separated by yin and yang, and the east is blue, so it is named "Qinglong", also known as "Qinglong". There is also a saying that dragons are promiscuous, having sex with cows gives birth to unicorns, and having sex with pigs gives birth to elephants. Another dragon gave birth to nine sons, unlike the dragon. Here's the thing: the eldest son is called prison cow: he loves music, so he often stands on the piano head. Such as Hu Qin of Han nationality and Qin Sang of Bai nationality. The second son's name is Chipi: He loves to kill people, so he is often put on weapons to intimidate the enemy. At the same time, it is used in ceremonial ceremonies to appear more solemn. The third son's name is Mo Chifeng: it is an animal-shaped dragon, which looks a bit like a dog. It is good at viewing, so it is often placed in the corner of the temple. It is said that it can deter demons and eliminate disasters. The first Si Er is not old: people like to growl, so they put it on the clock, mostly the image of not old. It is said that it lives by the sea, but it is very afraid of whales. Once a whale attacks, it screams in fear. Therefore, people make the wooden pestle into the shape of a whale, which makes the bronze bell particularly loud. The fifth son is a sister-in-law: shaped like a lion. It's imported, and it was introduced to China with Buddhism, so it's a bit like Buddha. It is so quiet and likes fireworks. Therefore, it is often placed on the Buddha's seat or incense burner to protect the dharma. Liuzi is a bully: also called tortoise, he looks like a tortoise. Legend has it that in ancient times, it often carried three mountains and five mountains to make waves. After being appeased by Yu Xia, he made many contributions to Yu Xia. After the success of water control, Yu Xia attributed the credit to himself. So China's stone tablets are mostly carried by it. The seventh son is an armadillo: also known as * * *, he looks like a tiger. According to legend, it upholds justice and can distinguish right from wrong. Therefore, it was placed at the top of the sign that officials kept silent and avoided when they visited the prison door and on both sides of the lobby of the yamen, so as to maintain the awe-inspiring atmosphere of the imperial court. The eighth son is a burden: because he loves literature, he puts it on both sides of the stone tablet. Jiuzi is a kiss: also known as tail, fish-shaped dragon. According to legend, it was introduced from India with Buddhism around the Northern and Southern Dynasties. It is something under the rain god in Buddhist scriptures, which can put out fires. So the kiss was changed, so it was placed at both ends of the roof to eliminate disasters and put out fires. But in fact, the nine sons of the dragon have many sayings, and here is just one.
