[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)
