1, dragon
Dragon, a miraculous animal in ancient China mythology, is fickle, active and beneficial to all things. It can be hidden and revealed, and the vernal equinox rises to heaven, and the autumnal equinox dives into the deep, ranking first among the four spirits (dragon, phoenix, white tiger and Xuanwu), and later becoming a symbol of imperial power. Emperors all claimed to be dragons, and the utensils used were decorated with dragons.
2. Phoenix
Phoenix, the legendary king of birds in ancient China, is the national totem of the Han nationality, just like the dragon. Phoenix is a general term for male and female. The male is a phoenix, and the female is a phoenix. Phoenix Qi Fei is a symbol of good luck and harmony. It is often used to symbolize auspiciousness and happiness, and objects with phoenix patterns have become symbols of sacredness, nobility, wisdom and auspiciousness. Posting phoenix pictures and placing phoenix ornaments in the living room has the feng shui meaning of attracting noble people.
Step 3: call
According to ancient books, the brave is a lucky animal. Legend has it that he was named Tianlu Beast for his meritorious service in helping Emperor Yanhuang fight, which means God bless him, and because he specializes in eating evil beasts and spirits, he was also called "ward off evil spirits". In ancient geomantic omen, he was regarded as the auspicious beast who turned disaster into happiness.
4. tortoise
Dragon, phoenix, unicorn and tortoise are collectively called the Four Spirits, but the tortoise is the only real animal in the Four Spirits. Since it is called spirit, it is obviously a god beast, which should only appear in myths and legends. But why are real turtles called spirits? In fact, the reason is very simple, because turtles have the longest life span of all animals, and turtles mean longevity.
5. Deer
Deer is obviously a real animal, but it is also the animal closest to the gods. We all seem to have the impression that those immortals always love to ride sika deer, and the most famous one is of course the immortal star in Fu Lushou's Samsung. Therefore, deer also represents longevity, but also symbolizes the wealth of Fu Lushou.
