The Green Dragon among the Four Beasts

Main entry: Qinglong China in ancient times divided the stars in the sky into seven star zones: "Three Walls" and "Four Elephants". "Three Walls" is the "Wei Zi Wall", symbolizing the palace; "Taiweiyuan" symbolizes the administrative organization; The "sky wall" symbolizes the bustling market. These three walls are arranged in a triangle around Polaris. There are four elephants around the three walls: East Black Dragon, West White Tiger, South Suzaku and North Xuanwu. In other words, the stars in the East are like a dragon. As the earth revolves around the sun, the stars in the sky change with the seasons. Every evening at the turn of winter and spring, the black dragon appears.

The dragon is the seven lodges in the East-horn, horn, fork, room, heart, tail and dustpan. These seven lodges are all shaped like dragons. From their meanings, we can see that the horn is the dragon's horn, the horn is the neck, the fork is the root, the room is the arm, the threat, the heart is the heart, and the tail is the tail.

There is also a part in the dragon's heart, which some people call' fire', which is related to sunny and rainy weather, and because Qinglong belongs to wood, it is also Jupiter's old age. After the rise of Taoism, these four spirits were also given names to facilitate human beings to call them. Qinglong is called' Meng Zhang'. In many dynasties, emperors took Qinglong as their country name, such as Wei Mingdi in the Three Kingdoms. Historical records also recorded that Xia Dynasty belonged to Mude Dynasty, so it was a good omen that' Qinglong went out of the suburbs'.

On the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar, China people call it "February 2, when the dragon rises", which symbolizes the return of spring to the earth and the revival of everything. Year number in the history of China:

Qinglong (Wei): The titles of Cao Cao and Cao Sao in the Three Kingdoms period, from 233 to 237, counting five years.

Qinglong (Hou Zhao): The year after Jian 'an, that is, one year, that is, 350 years.

Qinglong (Houyan): The year number of Houyan Lanhan is only one year, that is, 398 years. Simply put, the dragon is a race, with male and female, which can reproduce and die. Tsing lung is asexual and cannot reproduce. It is the only one in the world. There is no lower limit to life.

Dragon is the totem of Yanhuang civilization, and Qinglong is the oriental god who guards the East, belonging to the ancient god, that is, "Qinglong is not a dragon". They are two kinds of creatures and cannot be confused.
