Origin: China
The four great beasts are what modern people call Qinglong, Baihu, Zhuque, Xuanwu. They are actually not divine beasts, but gods. In ancient times, they were also known as the four spirits of the sky. They are the product of the ancient star worship. The four beasts are integrated into the five elements and directions, represented by different colors: Eastern blue is wood, western white is gold, southern red is fire, northern black is water, and central yellow is soil
Baihu is one of the Four Great Beasts, also born into chaos. It is shaped like a white tiger. Born in the early universe, Baihu absorbed the aura of heaven and earth. It is agile, powerful, and possesses majestic power and superior combat power, and can suppress all other creatures. Baihu has the characteristic of being patient but very definitive. Like the Dragon Dragon, when the celestial realms established it became one of the Four Great Beasts who took the responsibility of defending the West, conquering evil demons with its majestic power. Baihu was also the god of war and killing. Baihu has many kinds of divine powers such as avoiding evil, plague, praying for fortune, punishing evil, praying for good, getting rich, and making good relationships. It is one of the four great beasts and of course it is also created by the stars. It is representative of the west, white and autumn.
Like the Blue dragon, Baihu is not a "tiger" and has its roots in ancient star worship.
