Editing Chinese mythology (section)

====Directional====
The [[Four Symbols|Four Symbols of Chinese cosmology]] were the [[Azure Dragon]] of the East, the [[Black Tortoise]] of the North, the [[Bai Hu|White Tiger]] of the West, and the 
[[Zhu Que|Vermillion Bird]] of the South. These totem animals represented the four cardinal directions, with a lot of associated symbolism and beliefs. A fifth cardinal direction was also postulated: the center, represented by the emperor of China, located in the middle of his Middle Kingdom (Zhong Guo, or China). The real or mythological inhabitants making their dwellings at these cardinal points were numerous, as is associated mythology.
