In the old days, eczema was thought to be "windy", and the cure was to write "Zuo Qinglong, Right White Tiger, Former Suzaku, Later Xuanwu" on the patient. Does this work?

Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, Xuanwu. These are four well-known auspicious animals in China, which were originally called "Four Elephants" or "Four Spirits". The word "four images" comes from the sentence "Tai Chi gives birth to two instruments, and two instruments give birth to four images" in the Book of Changes. ?

In the simple world view of the ancients, the 28 constellations were divided into four constellations, which were represented by four gods: Oriental Dragon (Black Dragon), Western White Tiger, Northern Xuanwu and Southern Suzaku. According to the ancient geography book "Sanfu Huang Tu", "Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, Xuanwu, the four spirits of the sky, are also square." ?

But everyone is most familiar with this sentence, "Zuo Qinglong, Right White Tiger, Former Suzaku, Later Xuanwu." Qinglong is the floorboard of the stars in the East in the sky; White tiger is the general name of seven western nights in the sky; Suzaku is the general name for the seven nights in Far Away from the Earth. Xuanwu, the god of the northern expedition, represents the name of the seven nights in the north. In the Book of Rites Quli, it is recorded that "Zhu bird (sparrow) before the trip then Xuanwu, left Qinglong and right White Tiger, swinging on the top", "Before the south and then north, right west, Zhu bird, Xuanwu, Qinglong and White Tiger, the four directions are also named."

1, Oriental Dragon? The second day of the second lunar month, commonly known as "February 2, the dragon looks up", symbolizes the recovery of everything and the return of spring to the earth. Therefore, people regard Qinglong as the main celebration. ?

2. White tiger in the west? The white tiger has many functions, such as avoiding evil, avoiding disasters, praying for blessings, punishing evil and promoting good, getting rich and getting married. According to geomantic omen, the geomantic omen of a cemetery depends on the position of the white tiger. If there are raised terrain on the left and right sides in front of the cemetery, it can be used as a tomb to indicate guards.

3. Southern Suzaku? Suzaku is a kind of god in the pre-Qin period, which is thought to attract the dead to the sky, representing summer and fire. "The flying Suzaku is a pioneer and drives the image of Taiyi." Note that Suzaku is not equal to Phoenix, but it is far from Phoenix. ? According to historical records, Suzaku is the ancestor of the merchants. "Xuanniao is born by fate and has strong fertility."

4. North Xuanwu? Xuanwu is a kind of spiritual thing composed of snakes and turtles, which means Xuanming. Wu means black; Ghost means yin. Xuan Ming first described the tortoise as a kind of divination: people respectfully invited the tortoise to ask his ancestors in the underworld, brought back the answers and showed them to people in the form of divination.
