- I still remember the first time I entered a temple… I was about 3 or 4 years old… There were 4 giant statues right at the entrance when you went in. And they had really fierce looking faces… It scared the bejeebers out of me. You probably know what I’m talking about… So who are the Four Heavenly Kings?

Hi Carmen! Thank you for all the Chinese cultural education, especially to the younger generation. I greatly appreciate your use of your side-by-side Cantonese and Mandarin for all the Asians who only know either one or the other.
Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok and Leon Lai.
Jacky is my fav
@@NTDOffTheGreatWall Andy mine.
Never understood how kwok fu xing ever made this list. He can't sing lol
Jacky and Leon were always my faves❤️
@@lcc726 Why? Because of 小美, his manager.
@@koostory1776 never thought he could sing
Carmen you are the best on educating us subscribers on Chinese culture. Every time I watch you're videos I learn something new from you since day one. Thank you Carnen sweetheart.

1:09 South King
1:40 West King

Lex vs The Four Heavenly Kings in Bookworm Adventures Vol.2
Ah my favorite game.☺️
I love how I've stumbled upon this video and channel! Having always been slightly interested in Chinese mythology, this is super useful especially when there is also Cantonese involved - as this is quite rare. Thankyou so much and keep up the fab work!
zero complaints about this series of videos being a new mainstay of the channel, love them!
the only four heavenly kings i know are leon lai, andy lau, jacky cheung and aaron kwok
Thank you for this video. Whenever I enter any Buddhist temple in China, I see these four dominating figures. Glad to finally learn their historical, cultural, and philosophical purpose.
This is literally my favorite channel for learning Chinese! 非常感谢您
I found these 4 kings story so fascinating. All 4 kings on the painting are having different colors on their faces and representing East, South, West, and North.
Cultures, traditions, and history are getting precious each and everyday while some schools and country leaders are no longer preserving history as essential to younger kids.
I found similar artful paintings in Aomori prefecture, Japan 😊
Please keep going with such great work telling ancient stories.
Now that was cool and helps explain some things in dramas that did not make sense to me. Thank you all for the great video! I love learning something new.
Thank you for keeping this channel alive
Fully came here because the four generals in season 1 of Sailor Moon are called the four heavenly kings. Definitely interesting to learn more details!
chpest16 the 4 heavenly kings are also the elite monster tamers from pocket monster.
Interesting content. Cannot wait to see more. Hope things are well.
Thanks for coming back Carmen! I really missed the old crew and the chinese history videos. Will you stay for a long time?
Very interesting, I love your telling of the history of these gods. Thanks for the research.
Really great video! I really hope that I`ve watched your video before making my own 4 Heavenly King video😂😂😂
Great explanation and story. 谢谢
Omg this is amazing thank you !!!
Amazing stories of four kings.I liked it most.
Please do more chinese buddhist videos. I always visit temples with family but don't understand anything I'm looking at 😅
That was a great story!
Yayyy love story time with Carmen & OGTW!
So interesting 👀✨
great video
Duo wen tian Wang does not hold a mouse he holds a mongoose also he is known for as the yellow dzambhala, He is also one of the five dzambhala and Guan Yin is one of the dzambhala.
3:20 Touhou reference, literally nazrin and shou (Nazrin is like my favorite character lol)
Love the story.
You always do a super job with the graphics. It must take forever.
Yeah 😅
Carmen.....this was great post. Curious tho, are the kings related to the Jade Emperor? How do they fit in with his court?
What I am familiar with is from the folktales of the Journey to the West. According to the novel, which has a basis on general Chinese folklore, the Four Heavenly Kings are commanders of the celestial army. While not in battle, they are stationed at each of the Four Heavenly Gates as guards.
I read journey to the west book and they are the heavenly kings sun wukong fight during the battle against heaven. Many thanks for talking about them in a more detailed way!
This is so cool 😘😘🥰
If you were a Chinese professor, I’d enroll in all of your classes 🤓🙂
yeah and what a hottie too
Thank you for this video, there's so little information on the 4 kings of heaven although their images are guarding all temples.
Beautiful ancient culture
Thanks! Could you please share with us more updated information about the most popular singers in Hong Kong today?
Also the 4 heavenly kings are said to guard the entrances to holy Mount Meru, the legenday mountain at the center of our universe.
I know that it’s mythology but I thought this was interesting.
45,000km wingspan would make the bird too large to exist on planet earth. The distance from Wellington, NZ to London, UK is only about 18,000km.
Maybe it’s not in this dimension 🧐
@@NTDOffTheGreatWall 🤯🤯🤯
@@NTDOffTheGreatWall great job on the video btw, super interesting, engaging, and informative as always
@@NTDOffTheGreatWall The math in the graphics at 4:07 is still wrong. 90,000 x 500m = 45,000,000m = 45,000km
“A LONG time ago there were two dragons”
Haha I see what you did there
Carmen, Mikey, Dan and Yi😉😉💥💥🔥🔥👍👍👌👌🔥🔥🔥
LOL
Am I wrong if I said that Carmen is talking very fast? Anyways thanks for the info 😊 Hello from Minnesota
lol my first thought are the HK singers, Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung, Leon Lai, and Aaron Kwok 😂😂😂
What happened between you, Dan, and Mike?!… I miss you guys so much
So this is where Capcom got the term of the "4 Heavenly kings" of Shadowloo from as the final bosses in Street fighter 2 for Bison, Vega, Sagat, and Balrog
The bird became a king that has a pet dragon
I like Chinese culture it is amazing
was here for the 4 heavenly kings of hong kong hahaha dang
NO!! I KNOW THOSE FOUR HEAVENLY KINGS!!! Andy, Jacky, Leon and Aaron!!!

I see them all the time in Journey to the west and the Lotus lantern
I type the four heavenly kings from Pokémon and stubbled this video
lol lol thought you were talking about aaron kwok
Carmen. You are good at story telling. You could pass for a kindergarten teacher reading books for children.
So are you guys the kids? 😆
@@NTDOffTheGreatWall 😂😆
💜💜💜👍👍👍👍👍
These footages look like from what I’ve seen in Datong ancient city…
" 四大天王 " có nghĩa là " TỨ ĐẠI THIÊN VƯƠNG " đó mn!
4:07 You tricked me in checking my messages.
I have a colleague not only looks like but also sounds like you.
The 4 Horsemen’s alter egos.
2:39
In Pali Language on of them is Virudhaka (with Sword) and my Family name is Dhaka 👍💐
They sound opposite to the four horsemen.
4:08 it’s still wrong 😂😂😂
90,000x500=45 million meters (which does convert to 45,000 km though)
These are also found in Indian sanatan dharma too Buddhism and sanatan are kind of same
Toriko zebra sunny and coco
魔礼青、魔礼红、魔礼海、魔礼寿、魔礼沙
I thought F4 boy band.
We need more and more strength of 四大天王 Four Heavenly Kings to safeguard our Buddhist faith from fake monks, misguided followers and many more.
Jesus Christ has power Andis powerful❤❤
Hmmm 4 heavenly kingd 4 arch angles wut the coincidence
Well ackchully it's 450km 🤓

I was not expecting Buddhism here 💀 I forgot how prominent it became in China later on.
Edit: I’m NOT hating on Buddhist people; I just expected something closer to pure Chinese mythology.
hmmm.. a 3rd eye...
_that's a red Flag right there_ xD
I am seeing you first time, & I feel love at first sight ❤😍
They're 4 kings of gods whose heavens are nearest to humans. Their human equivalents are presidents/kings of countries.
Lol
what da
Guess this is for the MAINLANDERS, cause we all know 4 heavenly kings are Andy, Jacky, Leon and Aaron. #hongkongisnotchina
just enjoy the video lmfao
@@SimonLi If you don't enjoy the video you will be arrested and your vital organs removed, without anaesthetic.
@@UnChannelDuVulpineX lol cringe af
These are the OG 4 heavenly kings. You can see them at any Buddhist temples and they’ve existed for thousands of years. Any subsequent ones in pop culture is named after these guys.
@@NTDOffTheGreatWall Are these the same Buddhist temples that Mao destroyed, or removed all religious iconography from?
一二三四五六

“He is white.” *shows picture of Caucasian guy*
Hrm… holding a pagoda… that reminds me of 毘沙門天. (I’m familiar with this guy through the Japanese 七福神.) Are they the same person?
Also, I know that many deities still revered in Japan today have Chinese origin, such as 布袋, 壽老人, 福祿壽, 辯財天, and 大黒天. You think a crossover video might happen someday?
Will look into it!
They are the same. In Sanskrit we call him "Vaishravana" or sometimes "Kubera."
3 kings - the dad the kid and the mystical being..
(Hint - The sun died on a plus sign For our pestilence so we wouldnt have to)
4th "king" was cast to the Firey dungeon because he tried to be God..
Thats my spin on it
USA: A country so great even those who hate it won't leave.
PRChina: A country so hypnotic even those who've fled from it still wish to be buried there.
Take your meds bro
Is that "wrong" way of pronouncing everything Cantonese?
You are beautiful 😍 When are we getting married?
The shitenno from pocket monster are also inspired by this celestial kings.
