In ancient my country, earth, water, fire and wind were used as the four phenomena. Please introduce them. Thank you.

The four images of ancient China are derived from yin and yang, namely Taiyin, Sun, Shaoyin, and Shaoyang.

In the rituals of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, yellow was respected as the central figure, which evolved into the four directions of green, white, red and black, which represented the four directions.

For example, in the north of the Xuan Dynasty, now we all know that the land in the northeast is black black soil.

Later, it evolved into the four sacred beasts of Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku and Xuanwu.

After the Five Elements Theory and the Constellation Theory were formed, the four images were given the attributes of the Five Elements, giving rise to new meanings.

The Suzaku belongs to fire, so the south will be hot. When everything is hot, fire will be generated, and it also represents summer. . So it's hot in summer.

Xuanwu belongs to water, yin means cold, and extremely yin is water, which also represents winter. So it's cold in winter.

The white tiger belongs to the metal and is mainly responsible for killing. If the attack is weak, it will be as fast as the wind, which also represents autumn. Therefore, autumn is very windy, and everything dies due to the wind.

The green dragon belongs to wood, because we have worshiped dragons since ancient times. Dragons are spiritual creatures of heaven and earth, and they are beneficial to all directions. They also represent spring.

So in spring the earth is blessed and all things revive and thrive.

The ancients used earth, fire and feng shui to successfully explain the causes of the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and consolidated the worship status of dragon totem.
