Four-sided Sacred BeastThe Four Sacred Beasts were also known as the Four Spirits and Four Symbols, namely the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise.
In ancient China myths and legends, they were closely related to positions, constellations, and elements. In terms of orientation, the green dragon is the guardian beast of the east, the white tiger is the guardian beast of the west, the vermilion bird is the guardian beast of the south, and the black tortoise is the guardian beast of the north. From the perspective of the stars, the eastern horn, yuan, di, fang, xin, wei, ji are the green dragon, kui, lou, wei, mao, bi, yu, shen are the white tiger of the west, jing, gui, liu, xing, zhang, yi, zhen are the vermilion bird of the south, and dou, niu, nu, xu, wei, shi, bi are the black tortoise of the north. In terms of elements, they represented the four elements of metal, wood, water, and fire. The green dragon was wood, the white tiger was metal, the vermilion bird was fire, and the black tortoise was water.
In ancient culture, the four sacred beasts had the functions of dispelling evil, avoiding disasters, and praying for blessings. There was a saying in Taoism that they were the guardians of the gods. At the same time, the Four Sacred Beasts also appeared in many modern derivative works, such as being made into wooden mechas or becoming active elements in games (such as the Rock Kingdom).

Death PactDeath Pact had different meanings in different situations.
- In the game " DOTA," it was a skill possessed by the hero character Skeleton Archer.
- In the film industry, there was a film called " Death Contract," but the quality of the film was not good. There were problems such as the director trying to stuff too much content into the film, causing the film to be like a hodgepodge, and the scriptwriter's story line to be chaotic.
- In the game World of Warcraft, it was a skill of the Death Knight. This skill could recover its own health by injuring the enemy. The higher the health of the target, the more health the Death Knight could recover. The skill lasted for about 15 seconds, but the cooldown time was longer, so very few players used it. Moreover, this skill was limited by the level of the hero according to its effect. Players needed to level up continuously to maximize its effect.
- There was also a short story called " The Life and Death Pact."
