Chinese Dragon

Chinese dragons are mythical creatures from Chinese mythology and folklore. They are most commonly represented as being snake-like with four legs, although they also appear as fish, turtles and in purely imaginary form.

They symbolise auspicious and potent power with particular control over water – including floods, hurricanes and rainwater and are a symbol of strength, power and good luck. As a result, the Emperors of China used the symbol for their imperial strength and power.

In everyday life, the Chinese compare outstanding and successful people with a dragon.
