Do you know what the Four Emerald Spirits are?

The four jade spirits are the dragon, phoenix, unicorn and turtle.

Among the four spirits, the dragon is the eldest. The dragon is able to change, the phoenix knows how to govern chaos, the tortoise predicts good and bad luck, and the unicorn is kind and benevolent. Each of the four spirits has its own distinct duties.

The dragon is a species that appears in both Chinese and Western cultures. Dragon, in English, is called "dragon", but in the West, the dragon is one of the symbols of cruelty and killing.

Therefore, even though they are both dragons, there are still big differences between them in Chinese and Western cultures.

Although the dragon has never been found in real life, it is a classic creature in Eastern folk myths and legends.

Also because the legends about it are widely circulated, the dragon is endowed with the functions of exorcising evil spirits, avoiding disasters, and praying for blessings among the Chinese folk.

As one of the most representative symbols of ancient culture, the dragon has very profound historical significance.

Mysterious legends, beautiful meanings, majestic momentum, and eye-catching appearance, the embodiment of the dragon in jade carvings has firmly captured the hearts of jade lovers.

Feng is the short name of phoenix, also known as Vermilion Bird, Red Bird, Fire Bird, and Pheasant. In Western mythology, the phoenix is ​​also called the firebird and the immortal bird.

Ancient saying: "Phoenix, the essence of fire, gives birth to the elixir cave."

The phoenix is ​​the imagined patron saint of people in primitive society. Its image has evolved through three stages: Xuanniao, Suzaku and Fenghuang.

Like the image of the dragon, the pattern of the phoenix became more complex as time went on.

Since ancient times, the phoenix has become an important part of the jade culture of the Chinese nation.

"There are three hundred and sixty hairy insects, and the Qilin is the leader among them."

In traditional culture, Qilin is the king of beasts. The male one is called Qilin and the female one is called Lin, commonly known as "four-legged beast".

Because the Qilin is gentle, friendly and motivated by nature, the jade Qilin symbolizes good luck, noble character, good health and family harmony.

There is a saying among the people that "Qilin brings children", and the children brought by Qilin are all excellent and virtuous people.

Therefore, the Jade Qilin also symbolizes a large family and many children.

The turtle is a tortoise, the only mythical animal among the four spirits whose original form can be found, and it is also one of the animals with the longest lifespan.

In China, the turtle is a mysterious animal with rich cultural connotations. It is one of the greatest mythical beasts, spiritual creatures and mascots, and is the leader among all.

The sacred tortoise was once highly respected in China. In the palaces, residences and tombs of ancient emperors, there were stone or bronze sacred tortoises to symbolize the longevity of the country.

In folk culture, people believe that turtles represent health, longevity, intelligence and wisdom.

The four jade spirits all have their own auspicious meanings. You can choose the jadeite four spirits that suits you and buy it, and wear it on your body, which is both beautiful and auspicious.
