The Chinese dragon plays a central role as a legendary creature in China, not just in the mythology and folklore of the people, but in Chinese culture on the whole. Historically, the Chinese dragon has taken on several animal forms, but the most common is a snake-like beast with four legs. The dragon is the first animal to feature in the Perth Mint’s new Chinese Myths & Legends Series.

The origins of dragon worship in Chinese culture date back thousands of years. One of the first examples of dragon motifs in artwork and cultural symbolism comes from the Chahai site in what is now Liaoning. Associated with the Xinglongwa culture, this dragon-like motif dates back to between 6200 BCE and 5400 BCE.
