Home - Panorama - Dragon and Lion
  • Since China's most primitive times, the Dragon has been seen as the most wonderful and auspicious of creatures, capable of granting great fortune. Portrayals of Dragons have changed as time went by, seeing them become more and more mythical and magnificent each generation.
     
    Dragons may come in a variety of colours, yellow, blue, black, white or red. These differences aside they all share a distinct appearance, and possess features that are familkiar to most people. For example it is well known that a Dragon has a protruding forehead indicating wisdom and antlers signifying longevity.
     
    The people of China have long believed themselves the descendents of the dragon, a tradition that is firmly embedded in their culture. Evidence of this underlying self belief can be seen across all aspects of Chinese society and in the minds of its people. Whereas in western cultures dragons are usually regarded as a symbol of malevolence and teror, in China the Dragon is held in high esteem for its dignity and power for good.
