Chinese Dragon History and Information
According to Chinese mythology the dragon is composed
of nine different animals, though different
sources use differing descriptions, the following is a
generalized description of the animals a dragon is
composed of; a devils fiery eyes, a camels head, ears of
an ox, deer's horns, serpents neck, eagle’s talons,
tiger’s paws, frogs belly, carps scales and a long
beard.
The Chinese dragon scarcely resembles Western Dragons,
which tend to be evil and violent creatures. In China
dragons are depicted as wise, beautiful and very
auspicious creatures. Chinese dragons are worshipped by
the people of China who often refer to themselves as
descendants of the dragon, the emperors of China
considered themselves to be dragons, and the people of
China believed that emperors could become dragons.
Everything related to the Chinese Dragon is considered
blessed and in China the Year of the Dragon is a lucky
year in which to be born, as Chinese people believe being
born during the Year of the Dragon will bestow upon you
health, a long life, and great success.

An essential book for anyone born in the year
of the Dragon - This is such an awesome book.
It's beautifully designed and set out. The pictures
are colorful and fun and the information is
astounding! I've read a lot of books on this subject
and I found that despite the size of this book
(small), there was information in it that I had
never come across before. If you were born in the
year of the Dragon, or if you know someone who was,
this book is a must-have, without a doubt. I love
it!
A beautiful little gift.
This is a beautiful little book. The illustrations
and pictures are gorgeous. A real little gem and a
perfect gift for anyone, but especially for those
interested in the mystical and spiritual side of
life.
