THE DRAGON STORY
The Chinese dragon, unlike its western cousin, is considered to be a benevolent creature, the custodian of rain, river and lakes, and a harbinger of good fortune.
In Chinese mythology the dragon is described as having the body of a SNAKE (蛇), the face of a HORSE (马), antlers of the DEER (鹿) and claws of the EAGLE (鹰). The dragon has the beard of a GOAT (羊) and the scales of a FISH (鱼). So powerful did the emblem of the dragon become that it was adopted by every Chinese dynasty as the Imperial emblem, from Huang Di to the Qing (Manzu) Dynasty without exception.
As early as the Tang and Song dynasties Dragon King Temple's were built where the people could pray for blessings and a good harvest - all in the hands of the dragons as they controlled the rain.
