Description

【CYPRESS-Raden:The four SHEN】

Chinese culture has a long and wonderful history. The ancestors used their wisdom to imagine the four great patron saint, namely the Azure dragon, the white tiger, the Vermilion bird, and the black tortoise. They are mighty and domineering, yet beautiful and noble. They are closely related to China's Five Elements theory and Astronomy. For thousands of years, The four SHEN have been held in the altar, and to this day, they are still noble and mysterious representatives.

1.Azure dragon - God of the East, representing the season as spring. Symbolizing power, nobility and honor, and also a symbol of luck and success. It has a lofty status and has become a symbol of the Chinese emperors of the past.

2.The white tiger - God of the West, representing the season as autumn. With a variety of supernatural powers, such as repel evil, blessed the harvest, wealth and good relationships. He is also the representative of the god of war. It is often used to symbolize the mighty and bravery of the army.

3.The Vermilion bird - God of the South, representing the season as summer. Covered in flames and never extinguished all day long, she symbolizes continuity and life. People often mistake The Vermilion bird for "Phoenix", The Vermilion bird is god, and the phoenix is the king of birds, it is beast. Their existence is in two different realms.
