Dragon (Chinese)
The Chinese Dragon is an instantly recognizable symbol of China and was used by the imperial Emperor as sign of his power and strength. They are most commonly depicted as snake like creatures with legs, Asian dragons are rulers of weather and the sea and as such do not need wings to fly. They are not aggressive monsters as often depicted in Western myths, but more creatures of great wisdom who often help mankind and as such they are regarded as lucky. Generally you can tell a Chinese dragon from a Japanese by counting the toes, a Chinese having four or five and a Japanese having three.
