To know,

The turtle and the dragon are among the celestial animals in Chinese mythology.

The Black Tortoise or Black Warrior (Xuan wu, 玄武), which is associated with the north with winter, cold and darkness, is one of the four totem animals of the orients and the Chinese zodiac. It is also one of the five fantastic animals of the five elements theory.
The planet associated with it is Mercury, which brings together the 7 constellations, including Rhea and the southern bushel, which is the subject of Taoist energy practices.
The turtle is often represented with a snake, the two animals are the symbol of spirituality and longevity.

Associated with the North as well as with water, its shape dates from the Zhou dynasty. Its Chinese name is composed of xuán, “dark”, and wǔ, “warrior”, its shell evoking armor. Also called “tortoise-snake”, it is generally represented as a tortoise around which wraps a snake. This figure could be the origin of the myth claiming that the male of the tortoise being frequently helpless, the female unites with a snake. This belief is at the origin of the contradictory symbolism of the animal: sacred since antiquity because carrying on its back the representation of the universe, it represents immorality.

The black turtle is the main animal totem of astrology because it governs the northern quarter of the zodiac where the pole star is located, the axis of the sky, and the asterisms presiding over appearance, death and longevity. .
In the form of Zhenwudadi, xuanwu is also a Taoist god.
