Ancient China Today, we know that magical dragons exist only in imagination and myth. They are mythical creatures. But in ancient China, the people firmly believed that dragons were real and powerful. The dragon was the sign of the emperors. Over time, “The Dragon” became a nickname for China.

Ancient China In ancient China, dragons were thought to be wise, caring, and a bit mischievous. They did not breathe fire. They had personalities. They had magical powers. They could appear and disappear whenever they wanted. They could turn into beasts if they were angry.

Ancient China Dragons in ancient China were a composite (a mix) of parts from different animals.

Earth Dragons Legend says … Earth dragons are green. They guard the earth, the crops, and the mountains. They know the value of cooperation.

Metal Dragons Legend says …. Metal dragons are gold. They guard metals and precious gems. These dragons succeed because they refuse to accept failure. They have little caring for the feeling of others. These dragons are quite selfish.
