What are the four dragon kings and what are their abilities?

The Four Seas Dragon King is the dragon in the Middle East, the black dragon in the West, the red dragon in the South China Sea and the white dragon in the North China Sea. Their respective abilities are as follows:

The attribute of the Dragon King in the East China Sea is water, so he is in charge of rain and thunder. In case of drought and crop failure, people will beg for rain and worship the Dragon King in the East China Sea.

The attribute of the West Sea Dragon King is wind, that is to say, when the weather changes, as long as there is wind, the size, direction and speed of the wind are controlled by it.

The attribute of the Dragon King in the South China Sea is fire, and lightning can cause fire in weather changes, so it is responsible for lightning when it rains, and sometimes it can cause forest fires.

The attribute of Beihai Dragon King is snow, which means to control all bad rain and snow weather, such as hail, blizzard or first frost.

The Four Seas Dragon King controls different attributes and abilities in the weather changes, and only by close cooperation can the weather changes be better managed. Therefore, in film and television dramas, once the weather changes, several dragon kings are basically needed to cooperate. Of course, the dragon king in the North Sea appears less, because there is still little rain and snow, except in winter. At that time, there was a great injustice, probably because Dou E moved the Dragon King of the North Sea too much, so it snowed in June.

In fact, the Dragon King of the Four Seas has little to do with heaven. Generally, the dragon kings govern themselves in the Dragon Palace, which is just like the Heavenly Palace, and the dragon kings are the masters of their respective dragon palaces. Therefore, the identity of the four seas dragon king is very free, higher than the general immortal identity. Now the Dragon King Temple is generally dedicated to the Dragon King of the East China Sea, because the Dragon King ranks first and is in charge of rainfall, which is the key point that affects people's lives.
