Muut tiedot

Zhenwu is sometimes reffered to as 'Perfect Warrior, Dark Lord of the Northern Quadrant'.

Legend has it that Zhengwu was successful in defeating the demon kings despite the intervention of a snake and tortoise (which normally appear when he is depicted). He was thus accorded the titels of both 'first Lord of the Highest Heaven' and 'Perfected Warrior'. He subsequently became one of the most popular Daoist deities in small-scale devotional sculpture. A temple to honour him was built at the norhernmost point of the Forbidden City.

His role as a guardian reflects his association with the north, the direction from which China was constantly threatened by neighboring peoples from Central Asia.
