Chinese dragon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chinese dragon is a legendary creature. A dragon is not a true animal, but an animal found in stories told a very long time ago.
A dragon is also a powerful symbol (an idea as a picture). It means power and that good things will happen.
In history, the dragon was the symbol of the Emperor of China. The dragon in the Qing Dynasty came out on national flags.[1]
Dragons are often found in Chinese art and stories. Since people discovered dragons in Chinese art and stories, dragons are sometimes thought of as a symbol for China.
