For centuries, the Chinese dragon has been a symbol of power and mystery. Depicted in countless legends, both Eastern and Western, the dragon has provoked man to fear and worship it. In medieval Europe, it was a bloodthirsty, fire-breathing figure. Its malevolence and ferociousness struck terror in all. In fact, Chinese people all over the world are affectionately known as “lung de chuan ren”, or the “descendants of the dragon”. There are several distinct species of Chinese dragons.
