Since ancient times, the four spirit beasts of the four gods (Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise) are believed to be the 瑞獣Zuiju (Auspicious beasts) that appear as a precursor to auspicious things, so it has come to be said that the Azure Dragon protects the east, the Vermilion Bird protects the south, the White Tiger protects the west, and the Black Tortoise protects the north. Among them, the dragon is special and the only one among the four gods, only the dragon is added to the twelve branches, so the dragon has come to be considered as a god that protects all directions and eliminates disasters, and in the Wuxing, it is said to be a sacred dragon that the blue dragon is protects east, the red dragon is protects south, the white dragon is protects west, and the black dragon is protects north.
