TGCF: My theory on the inspiration behind the 4 calamities

In some of the oldest Chinese myths and legends, there are 4 guardian gods of the four cardinal directions - the green dragon, white tiger, crimson bird, and black tortoise, and each have a colour, season and element associated with them. I'm not sure if anyone has made this connection before, but I'm writing it down if anyone is interested. There are spoilers about the calamities' identity.

First, the 青龙 （qing long, green dragon) --> Qi Rong, Night-touring Green lantern.

The qinglong's territory is the East, and its colour is qing, which means green, or turqoise. Its element is wood, and its season is spring. Closely associated with royalty and the imperial family.

Now, for the similarities with our favourite green goblin. "qing" is literally the colour in Qi Rong's title, and his colour scheme. Qi Rong has a habit of hanging corpses from trees, which may be his relation to the element "wood". He does not have any obvious coleration with the season "spring"- perhaps he was born in spring. He is royalty, part of the imperial family as cousin to the crown prince.

Second, the 白虎 （bai hu, white tiger)--> Bai Wuxiang, White Clothed Disaster upon the Earth.

The baihu's territory is the West, its colour is white, element is gold/metal, and its season is summer. It is the king of all beasts, associated with disease and war, often used as a guardian symbol by soldiers.

On the other hand, Jun Wu's title, alias and colour scheme are all white, and has plenty of weapons that may be his link to the element of "gold/metal". I don't think he has anything to do with summer, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. He is king of the gods, a god of war, and the one to spread the human face disease.

As east and west are considered a pair, the guardian spirits are meant to reflect each other. In Chinese poems and such, symmetry is important, and both Qi Rong and Jun Wu were princes, one becoming revered by the highest of gods, covered with masks and false identities, one becoming the object of disgust by the lowest of ghosts, using his real name and face. There is a certain poetic symmetry to it, don't you think?

To the second pair. The 朱雀 (zhu que, crimson bird)----> Hua Cheng, Crimson Rain Sought Flower

The zhuque rules over the south, its colour is red, element is fire, and its season is summer. It is the king of all birds, more powerful than even the phoenix, immortal and undying. As such, in many places it is also considered a symbol of life.

Now, to the most popular ghost king: Hua Cheng. The english translation of his title is "crimson", and his colour scheme is indubitably red and autumn-y shades. He also re-re-met Xie Lian in autumn ( I think - I mean, the leaves were all red in the donghua??), and has died again and again to return like the zhuque. He is the king of all ghosts, with a great determination to live(sorta? are ghosts alive??) for his love.

Lastly, my personal favourite, the 玄武 (xuan wu, black tortoise)---->He Xuan, Black Water Sinking Ships

The xuanwu, also called a tortoise, is actually the only spirit to be a combination of 2 animals, a snake and a tortoise. It rules over the north. Its colour is black( sometimes depicted as dark blue), element is water, and its season is winter. In earlier legends, he is considered a guide and guardian to the netherworld, of death and of long life.

Thus, to our poor indebted water ghost. He Xuan's name is "xuan", the same! goddamn! character! as the spirit! His title and colour scheme are all to do with the colour black, and he is a water ghost because he died because of the Water Master. He has been marked by death, yet survived and vowed revenge. This, and the fact that his house is called the Nether Water Manor, is probably his relation to the netherworld of the xuanwu.

To the pair of south and north. Both Hua Cheng and He Xuan have suffered and suffered again, yet Hua Cheng chooses to linger on due to hope and love, and He Xuan due to revenge and hatred. But hatred and love are two sides of the same coin. If Hua Cheng hadn't experienced the hatred from his childhood, he wouldn't have thrown himself from the city wall and met Xie Lian. If He Xuan hadn't loved his family, so much, he wouldn't have broken that hard after their deaths to lose himself to hatred and empty vengence.

Aaaaaand that concludes this essay. Keep in mind that this is a theory, and probably even isn't true, but if anybody wants a more detailed description of the guardian spirits, or to know more about the similarities between the mythical creatures of ancient china and tgcf, I will be more than happy to make a part 2.

Thanks for reading!!

About tgcf (Heavens official blessing)

A novel from MTXT, it's a global phenomon that gained adaptations in the form of: manhua, dongha (second season soon), audiodrama and live action (still in production)

We follow the story of Xie Lian (in the gif), a formor crown prince of the kingdom of Xian Le. As a formor martial god, he used to live on Earth until one day he ascended for the third time ( :0 ) and has to help the heavens to pay his debt caused by the damage of other heavens officials during XL ascending (have I mentioned XL is known for being extremelly unlucky?)

During the first arch we meet some other characters and get to know better the world of tgcf: The calamities and other officials

Pay attention to these names cause you'll see them a lot: Nan Feng, Fu Yao, Hua Cheng, San Lang, Mu Qing, Feng Xin, Jun Wu, Pei Ming, Ban Yue...

There are five original books, but they are a fast read when you're invested (like I was)

Without adding spoilers, you will see the mysteries of this world and their characters get untagled throughout the archs, you will be surpised with the character developments and the major plot twists

A soft bl story, their love story is definetely one of the most beautiful ones I have ever read about, it's really deep and true, (oh to have a relationship so faithful like theirs!)

But bear in mind that it's not all fluff, the characters stories are really complex, there are even some TW for major injuries, su!c!d3, g3noc!d3, and gor3. Rember folks, our xie lian is a martial god, he's super strong and is a specialist at swordmanship.

I guarantee, it's a balanced read (excpet book 4, oops) with amazing lore, powerfull battles, a little bit of comedy, romance and quite suffering.

*image from the manhua, available on billibilli

If you're interested, I don't recommend searching more about it on tags, otherwise you'll get spoilers!!

In the US there's already official publications of the novel, but not in south america (as I'm aware of). I believe plenty of countries in Europe already have their official books.

Hope you enjoyed it and that you'll become a fan of this amazing series!

*pardon me if I made some grammar mistakes :)
