/ Oriental Dragons: Oriental Dragon Image, Dragon Oriental Picture Dragons have been an integral part of the culture of the Chinese, Koreans and Japanese peoples since the beginning of recorded history. In China they are used to mark the stairways over which only the Emperor could be carried. In Japan they are used in Buddhist temples both as decoration and as fountain heads for purification before worship. In many cases the dragon is combined with the phoenix to symbolize long life and prosperity. It is also combined with the tiger to represent heaven and earth or inyo (Yin and Yang) The Chinese dragon has five toes. The Korean has four toes and the Japanese dragon has three toes?The dragon by nature is a gregarious creature who wanders the earth. However, the farther it goes from China, the more toes it loses. Hence, when it reached Korea it only had four toes and by the time it got to Japan itonly had three. This also explains why it never made it to Europe or the Americas in that by the time it got that far it had lost all of its toes and could not walk? Asian dragon have no wings, but are often depicted coming down from the clouds or heavens and the male dragon holds a war club in its tail while the female dragon holds a sensu or fan in its tail. |
