The Chinese Dragon Kings

Article Category: Culture

Author Name: Henry Fong

The Chinese dragon is depicted as having four legs, long, scaled and snake like. Unlike many other dragons associated with evil, the Chinese dragon has much power and is an often-used symbol in Chinese folklore and art. The Chinese dragon is associated with rain embodies the male of 'yang' while the phoenix is the female version of Fenghuang.

Historically the Chinese dragon belonged to the emperor and could not be used by any commoners. The presence of the dragon as a symbol has fluctuated depending on the government and message portrayed to the rest of the world. Dragons are linked with war and aggression and it is for this that China has switched to using the Panda as a symbol. Angering dragons is also dangerous as angry dragons have cause some of the most horrific floods in China, as any flowing water are controlled by dragons.

Chinese dragons are associated with the lucky number nine as dragons are described using nine attributes. They have 117 scales with 81 Yin scales (9 x 9), positive essence, and 36 Yang scales (4 x 9), negative essence. As with dragons the number nine also belongs to emperor and the highest government officials would wear robes decorated with nine dragons.

As emperors could only use dragons, both emperorers and dragons are also associated with the lucky number nine. Nine can be seen in the make up of dragons, as dragons can be described using nine attributes. The break down of their scales, 81 that are positive and 36 that are negative are factors of nine. The most important officials would wear robes decorated with nine dragons.

In present day believing in dragons is not as prominent but the Dragon is still worshiped for its control of the weather and rain. Much of the dragon is still present in Chinese traditions. Chinese is a largely agricultural country so the importance of water is great and the dragons control all the water including the North, South, East and West Seas.

Dragons also have other supernatural abilities as they can change size, to the smallest silk worm to encompassing the entire universe. Dragons can manipulate water by changing it into fire as well as being able to form clouds. It can also hide in water and glow in the dark. Dragons are still present in traditional Chinese culture and still worshiped though the actual belief in dragons has diminished considerably over time.
