There are four quadrants in the kingdom of heaven, north, south, west, east - Tortoise, Phoenix, Tiger, and Dragon.

Each quadrant represent the pillars of heaven.  Heaven represents peace - inner and outer.

Each of these pillars support a centerpiece, this is you, the golden dragon.

To achieve this peace, one must satisfy the four pillars needs - pillars being virtues, in order to achieve the centerpiece.

For me Tortoise = Discipline, Phoenix = Grace, Tiger = Courage, Dragon = Power and Golden Dragon = Enlightenment

There are no greater pillars, all equal one another in Strength.

For if any is stronger than the other then you would be off balance and you would not be at peace.

To rule over these virtues is to come to term with yourself, and with others around you.

So for me by ruling over the four virtues of discipline, grace, courage, and power can I achieve enlightenment and thus is at peace.
