THE IMMORTAL DRAGON

One of the most revered legendary creatures of Asian culture is the Dragon. Chinese belief in the existence and power of the dragon dates all the way back to the Shang and Zhou dynasties. When Buddhism spread to China, the Dragon became a prominent part of Buddhist culture as well. Dragon iconography is prominent through centuries of Buddhist history where this majestic creature is seen alongside the many Buddhas.

This legendary creature has innumerable expressions in Asian art, architecture, literature and culture. As a symbol of power, protection and good luck, the Dragon is immortalized in the palaces and temples of Chinese emperors, literature, textiles and artworks, and the Chinese zodiac.
