Ceng Shiqiang Suzaku, who are the other three?

When Ceng Shiqiang talked about the mystery of the Book of Changes, he mentioned Suzaku side by side with Qinglong, Baihu and Xuanwu. These four great beasts play a very important role in the traditional culture of China, representing the east, west, south and north respectively.

Specifically, Suzaku (also known as Phoenix) represents the south, which is a sacred animal in the south. It has red feathers, strong power and can control the flame, and is regarded as a symbol of Vulcan.

Qinglong represents the East, and it is a god beast of the East. It has blue scales and a strong body, and can control the rain. It is regarded as a symbol of rain god and harvest.

the white tiger represents the west, and it is a beast of the west. With its white fur and sharp claws, it can control storms and natural forces and is regarded as a symbol of God of War and death.

Xuanwu represents the north, and it is a god beast in the north. It has a black shell and hard limbs, which can control frost and cold current, and is regarded as a symbol of wisdom and longevity.

These beasts play a very important role in China's traditional culture. They are widely used in architecture, art, religion and other fields, and still have a far-reaching impact on China culture today.
