Four Saint Beasts (Vietnam)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Four Symbols or Four Saint Beasts (Vietnamese: Tứ Linh or Tứ Thánh Thú) are the four beasts protecting the four directions of Vietnam. They include: Long (East), Lân (West), Quy (North) and Phụng (South). These beasts are somehow based on the Ssu Ling Gods of Chinese Mythology (Qing Long, Bai Hu, Xuan Wu and Zhu Que).
