Tomb art Mural in the Great Tomb at Gangseo, 6 -7 century, Goguryeo dynasty Known as “Mural of the Four Spirits” because the mural depicts the four spirits of the legend: the Blue Dragon, the White Tiger, the Red Phoenix, and the Black Turtle. The painting demonstrates the imagination of the Goguryeo(Koguryo) people and their belief in immortality. Blue dragon is the symbol of the East. This mystical creature is depicted with jagged jaws, a snake-like neck, and a body colored in blue, green, and red then covered with ominous black scales. The wings painted as flames on the chest of the dragon and the front legs spreading out for imminent flight indicate the ardent and extroverted nature of the Goguryeo people.

Painting of The White tiger and it is the symbol of the west. The tiger’s bravery has been painted with eyes as fierce as the sun accompanied by jaws wide open to conquer the world. The tiger’s arched neck, descending tail, and outstretched legs are reminiscent of the Blue Dragon. Further, the crimson wings depicted on the tiger’s chest indicate the animal’s ferocious nature. This mural, too, is characterized by elegant and vivid brush strokes.

Painting of the Red Phoenix and it is the symbol of South The phoenix has been immortalized with its wings spread wide open, its tail violently thrashing in the air, and flame-like crimson feathers sprouting from within. Further, the bloodshot mountain peaks visible beneath the talons of the phoenix enchants the viewer with the creature’s mystical nature.

The black turtle is the God of the North and is revered for its color and sturdy outer shell. According to legend, the female turtle is without a mate, and to procreate it copulates with a snake. Thus, the painting of the Black Turtle intertwined with the snake is not one of struggle, but represents the harmony of yin and yang, the positive and negative forces of the world. Moreover, the two animals, strangely tangled with heads pressed together, conjure a sense of vibrant animation. This mural is considered to be the best representation of the black turtle as the brush strokes bring together in harmony a pair of creatures that are opposites
