China: 'The Red Emperor of Trueness and Three Qi in the South' of the Daoist pantheon.

The Five Emperors of the Cardinal Directions and the Centre are immortals of the Daoist pantheon. In traditional Chinese culture, qi (also chi or ch'i) is an active principle forming part of any living thing. Qi is frequently translated as 'energy flow', and is often compared to Western notions of energeia or vitalism, as well as the yogic notion of prana and pranayama.
