The Chinese believe that every site is surrounded by four protective animal spirits: the black tortoise, the phoenix, the green dragon, and the white tiger. When a site is being assessed, the four animal names may be applied to the four points of the compass – so that north is the black tortoise, south is the phoenix, east is the green dragon, and west is the white tiger. The superior dragon hill needs to be higher and more rugged than the tiger hill. The southern, phoenix aspect should be open.

The four celestial creatures of exterior feng shui are the black turtle behind a dwelling, the green dragon on the left, the white tiger to its right, and the red phoenix in front. Their symbolic presence brings good fortune.

The white tiger is the embodiment of yin energy. It complements the yang of the green dragon.
