Quote from cheesestix

Mmm... what about the dragon and pheonix? I see them depicted together on a weaving I have on my wall.

There are also depictions of Dragon and Tiger...

more famous is the depiction of the red phoenix in the south, black turtle/serpent to the north, blue dragon to the east and white tiger to the west

Oooh... that was represented by the four guardians in Angel Diary 😲
But, I don't think I've heard the story. Maybe I should try to read up on some chinese mythology.

Oh. I can't choose All of them are so good. 🙂

Heh, Heh I second that. Chinese Mythology is cool too. All the stuff incorporated into "Journey to the West" is interesting.

🤣     I thought that was real....... some...... ex. "tong sam jong" is real =p

Yes, a story about a nearly omnipotent monkey, a pigman, ex-water demon constantly saving a kidnap prone monk from demons is a true story. 🙄

Hey look a scorpion demon! Look out!

Dragon symbolizes male, phoenix female, like a ying yang.

but I never thought that it was fake 😀 (Tong Sam Jong so exists!!) I don't remember scorpion... I remember spider demon "gee ju jing"

& my mom told me they based it on a real story... ? (minus the demons..)

The monk may have existed but if those things actually happened he must have eaten a lot more magic mushrooms then......................

There's a manga where the protagonist gives away his future for the power of the pheonix then his partners are the other 3. Journey to the west is an interesting book. I recomend it. Plus its pretty small. 200 pages.

Does anyone know the anime "Tokyo Majin Gakuen Kenpucho"? Well, there they use the Red Phoenix, Black Turtle, Blue Dragon and White Tiger also..

They even inserted a Golden Dragon, as leader..

It's a magnificent anime, btw.. !! 😲 😃

The first episode was great..!! 😲 As animation was considered..

But story-wise, you really didn't know wth they were talking about..
