MYTHOLOGY : THE FOUR DIVINE CREATURES OF ANCIENT CHINA

In China a saying goes around that four Divine Creatures guard the world in four directions: the Azure Dragon in the East, the White Tiger in the west, the Vermillion Bird (Zhuque) in the South, and the Black Tortoise (Xuanwu) in the north. As recorded in Shan Hai Jing (The Classic of Mountains and Sea), each of the four creatures represents a season – the Azure Dragon stands for spring, the Vermillion summer, the White Tiger autumn, and the Black Tortoise Winter.
