[edit] Media References

This list is so long, it should be on an article on his own imo. Ninja neko 12:08, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lots of inaccuracies

Apologies to whoever made the article, but there are a lot of inaccuracies in it. I can't correct it all in one sitting, so I'll be spending time in the days to come in correcting the information. Most glaring mistake is to equate the vermilion bird of the south with the phoenix. Contrary to what a lot of people think, the two are definitely not the same. --- Hong Qi Gong 04:13, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 5 Elements

Since there is the point that each of the four Ssu Ling are associated with the 5 elements, it would be worth mentioning Huáng-lóng (黃龍, Ouryuu[?] in Japan), the Yellow Dragon, or sometimes the Kirin or Qí-lín (麒麟), associated with earth, the center direction, and balance in general. (see Five_elements_(Chinese_philosophy))

[edit] Conflicting literature

This article misses out the Golden Dragon of the Centre, Huang long. Not only that, but some literature contradicts this. Those that talk about the Yellow Dragon, almost invariably put the Tortoise to the north and the Dragon to the east. Wolf ODonnell 18:47, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Hm, I guess I must have misread the Compass Point directions associated to each Heavenly Creature. They appear to be the correct now. Wolf ODonnell 19:07, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

I feel like this article should be merged with the indiviual articles for the Four Symbols. They are all rather short, and don't really need their own articles, just redirects. I added a template suggesting the merge. Helikophis (talk) 18:51, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Five Symbols in Digimon

Shouldn't there be something in this article about the five Digimon that correspond to the Five Symbols?

Quinglongmon is the "Azure Dragon of the East", matching the name, "Quing Long".

Zhuqiaomon is the "Vermilion Bird of the South", closely matching the name, "Zhū Què".

Baihumon is the "White Tiger of the West", matching the name, "Bái Hǔ".

Xuanwumon is the "Black Tortoise of the North", matching the name, "Xuán Wǔ".

And, lastly, Huanglongmon is the "Yellow Dragon of the Center", matching the name, "Huang Long".
