Appearing among the Chinese constellations, the Four Mythical Guardians are auspicious beings in Eastern culture. Each guards one of the four cardinal directions (north, south, east, west) and is associated with a season (summer, fall, winter, spring) and one of the “five elements” (wood, fire, earth, metal, water) that are said to govern change in all things.
