四灵与裸猿 the four spiritual life energies and the naked ape

四灵与裸猿 四灵与裸虫 the four spiritual life energies and the naked ape 【注意：裸猿不是猿，而是形容人类好比是脱下了兽皮的猿类。古人把“裸猿”称呼为“裸虫”——古人用“虫”字来称呼地球上的一切生物，所以建立了一套与五行相应的五虫生命系统。】note: the naked ape is not an ape, instead it is actually the humankind who just looks like an ape being stripped off the fur. The ancient Chinese people name the naked ape as "naked creatures" in comparing with the shell-covered creatures, scale-covered creatures, feather-covered creatures and fur-covered creatures. We, humankind, get no cover from the universe; thus, we have to make our own clothing. Fair or not fair?

当然，这里是中英对照版本：

1. **北方冬至北玄武的介虫类的海陆两栖能量**  

   **North - Winter Solstice, Black Tortoise (Xuanwu) and Amphibious Energy**  

   介虫类如蛙、龟等，象征着耐寒与坚韧。在北方冬季，这种能量帮助我们在逆境中保持稳定与平衡。  

   Amphibious creatures such as frogs and turtles symbolize endurance and resilience. In the northern winter, this energy helps us maintain stability and balance in adversity.

2. **东方春分东青龙的鳞虫类的大海遨游能量**  

   **East - Spring Equinox, Azure Dragon (Qinglong) and Marine Energy**  

   鳞虫类如龙，代表强大的生命力与广阔的可能性。春分时节，万物复苏，象征新生与成长，像大海般自由与探索。  

   Scaled creatures like dragons represent strong vitality and vast potential. During the spring equinox, as all things revive, this energy symbolizes rebirth and growth, free and exploratory like the sea.

3. **南方夏至南朱雀的羽虫类的高飞蓝天能量**  

   **South - Summer Solstice, Vermillion Bird (Zhuque) and Skyward Energy**  

   羽虫类如朱雀，代表高远的理想与追求。在夏至时节，这种能量助力我们实现梦想，突破限制，像蓝天般无拘无束。  

   Winged creatures like the Vermillion Bird represent lofty ideals and aspirations. During the summer solstice, this energy helps us achieve our dreams and break through limits, as free as the blue sky.

4. **西方秋分西白虎的毛虫的内圣外王能量**  

   **West - Autumn Equinox, White Tiger (Baihu) and Transformative Energy**  

   毛虫类如披着皮毛的兽类，象征内在的转化与成长。秋分时节，万物成熟，这种能量帮助我们整合内外资源，实现个人与社会的和谐。  

   Hairy creatures like fur-covered beasts symbolize inner transformation and growth. During the autumn equinox, as everything matures, this energy helps us integrate internal and external resources, achieving personal and social harmony.

5. **中央中季中大人的裸虫类的活在当下的美妙人生的彻底觉醒的能量**  

   **Center - Midseason, Central and Naked Energy**  

   裸虫类如裸猿，没有甲介、鳞片、羽毛或兽皮，象征修行人赤裸裸的一丝不挂的本来面目。这种能量提醒我们关注当下，觉察内心的真实自我，从而体验生命的深度与广度。  

   Naked creatures like the naked ape and earth worm, without shells, scales, feathers, or fur, symbolize the practitioner’s true, unadorned self （素心真我）. This energy reminds us to focus on the present, to perceive our inner true self, and to experience the depth and breadth of life.

这些方位和能量结合在一起，帮助我们在不同的季节和生活阶段中找到平衡，逐步实现自身的成长与觉醒。  

Combining these directions and energies helps us find balance through different seasons and stages of life, gradually achieving personal growth and awakening.
