Turtle (legendary creature) Tortoise (mythology) Four Intelligents or Four Intelligent Creatures

Tortoise (legendary creature) The tortoise or turtle is a creature with an extensive history in East Asian religion, mythology and legend.

The turtle is a symbol of longevity and is thus paired with the crane. The Chinese axiom 龜齡鶴壽 refers to this. The Huainanzi claims that a tortoise lives for one-thousand years. The Lunheng claims that when a tortoise is three hundred years old, it is as big as a cash and walks on lotus leaves. At the age of three thousand, it has a green edge and it measures one foot and two inches. According to the Tales of Strange Matters 述異記 compiled by Ren Fang 任昉,a tortoise that has lived for one thousand years has grown hair,a five thousand year old tortoise is called 神龜 (Shénguī, god tortoise) and a ten thousand year old is called 靈龜 (Língguī, spiritual tortoise). The latter term often refers to the tortoise among the four intelligent beasts 四靈.

Buddhism
Buddhist literature provides a similar example of the black dog figure.

In the Mahākanha Jātaka of the Pali Canon, the Buddha relays a story about how the god Śakra, king of Trāyastriṃśa, transformed his charioteer Mātalī into a ravenous black dog named Mahākanha (lit. Big-black) in order to frighten human beings into abstaining from evil.

It is told that when virtue decays in the human world, Sakra will send Mahākanha against certain types of people. In the form of a huntsman, he reveals these types in prose.

Mahākanha's bark is said to be one of three sounds that can be heard throughout the human world.
