The Chinese dragon is one of the most important creatures in Chinese society, culture, mythology, and history. As just one example of the symbolism and power of the dragon, it is said that China’s four great rivers were formed by water dragons that were punished for disobeying the Jade Emperor by becoming trapped in the Earth as rivers.

In Chinese culture, the dragon is closely associated with water and is believed to have control over rivers, lakes, and seas. It is often depicted with clouds or water swirling around its body. In fact, the Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanwu Festival, is a traditional Chinese holiday held on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. It involves dragon boat races, where teams paddle in long, narrow boats decorated like dragons. This deepens the connection between dragons and water.
