Nearly two thousand years ago, Eastern dragons were said to appear in many forms according to the philosopher Wang Fu. This holds true to this day, as Eastern depictions of the dragon continue to feature numerous legs, scales, whiskers, and a unique serpentine body. In certain Eastern traditions, dragons are revered creatures who bestow good fortune when worshiped properly. As such, there are many temples that still exist to this day that were designed in honor of the auspicious dragon.
