Ancient artefacts and legends indicate that the concept of dragons was imprinted on the Chinese consciousness as far back as the Neolithic era. The dragon - considered divine by all - was sacred to the people and came to symbolize Chinese imperial power and majesty. Dragons are depicted in a wide variety of enchanting shapes and forms: embroidered or woven into textiles, glazed in pottery, carved into roof beams and temple pillars, designed in light or high relief on screens and panels, and cast in bronze. Dragons can change shape, have particular likes and dislikes, and have specific functions. There are said to be nine sons of the dragon, and a multiplicity of dragon types.Chinese Dragons takes us on a fascinating journey through the intriguing complexities of dragon lore, the evolution of the Chinese dragon, the different types of dragons and their uses, the art of the dragon in all its forms, and dragon legends and sightings. This unique book will appeal to anyone interested in folkore, as well as anyone who has ever been, or has dreamt of going, to China.

Few symbols saturate human civilization so broadly and thoroughly as those of the ubiquitous and enigmatic dragon. This compelling book examines, compares, and analyzes the appearance and symbolization of the Eastern and Western dragons and treats them as the crystallization of human cultures. It shows that Chinese dragons resemble one another but suggest different ideas in different contexts, while Western dragons have different appearances but often denote a single concept. As one of the most notable achievements of dragonology, this book offers astonishing new insights into dragons as zoological «fact», psychological archetypes, and ideological symbols.
