Chinese dragons are legendary creatures central to Chinese mythology and culture, symbolizing power, strength, good fortune, and imperial authority. Unlike their Western counterparts, they are typically benevolent, serpentine beings with clawed feet, long flowing bodies, and features combining elements of various animals, such as the horns of a stag, the eyes of a demon, and the scales of a fish. Dragons appear extensively in art, architecture, and ritual objects, often associated with water, weather, and cosmic forces, and are celebrated in festivals, folklore, and court symbolism as protectors and bringers of prosperity. Their enduring presence reflects a deep cultural reverence, embodying the harmony between humans, nature, and the divine.
