About the treasures of the four heavenly kings

1. The king of the East has a lute in his hand. It means that you should not be too hasty in doing things, and you should know that you can't leapfrog and fall behind. It's like playing the piano. If the string is loose, it won't come out. If it is tight, it will break. Confucianism stresses the doctrine of the mean, while Buddhism stresses the doctrine of the mean, that is, it is necessary to be just right, impossible and indispensable, so that things can be completed.

2. The growth king of the south represents a new day and a new one. He holds a sword-Hui Jian (the sword of wisdom), which is [cut the gordian knot; Hui Jian breaks troubles]. It was renamed "Qingyun Sword" in the Romance of the Gods.

3. The wide-eyed king in the west is wrapped in dragons, sometimes snakes. Snake and dragon have the same meaning, representing change! We often say: the dragon sees the head but doesn't see the tail, which means that all people, things and things are fickle and changeable in this real society of the material world. We must see him clearly, so that we can deal with him calmly. In the Romance of the Gods, it was renamed as "Flower Fox Sable".

In the north, it is said that the heavenly king has an umbrella in his hand. An umbrella is a kind of cover. In the ever-changing world, there are all kinds of pollution, so we should prevent it and not be polluted. At the same time, protect your pure heart. Only by rationally understanding the real society, can we have wisdom and ability, and know what methods should be used to deal with it, so as to achieve perfection. In the Romance of Gods, it was renamed as "Mixed Umbrella".
