In China the dragon is called the most popular and powerful long and is the prototype of the Eastern dragons. In addition to this there are other smaller dragons on them, a dragon homeless living on the ocean, the mark, who lives in the swamps but the den on ì mountains, the Dragon's Thunder, which seems made of obsidian and can turn into a pale blue-skinned boy riding a red carp. The t'oo t'ieh, which has a head and two front legs, but two bodies, with hind legs and separate queues, personifies the greed of pinto and is on the plates to discourage it. Although there are different types of lung, all gathered into an empire of dragons, whose reign are the Dragon Kings, with different management tasks: the Tien Lung, the Dragon Celeste, protects the mansions of the gods and rules the sky, the Shen Lung, the Spiritual Dragon, generates and controls for men the wind and rain, Ti Lung, the Dragon of Earth, check out the rivers and waters, the Hsien Lung, the Dragon of the Rain real; Ts'an Fu Lung, the Dragon of the Underworld, also known as the "guardian of hidden treasures", which is precisely to guard the gems and precious metals and rules the underground. Some stories also mentioned the Pan Lung, who is the guardian of hidden places. To these are added the Dragon Yellow Dragon Spiral and the noble, born from the River Lo, it symbolizes the legendary emperor Fu Hsi, which would have suggested, suddenly emerging from the waters of the sea, the elements writing, as well as the eight basic trigrams who composed the oldest book I-Ching. There is also a dragon that is specifically known as the "King of Dragons," and is composed of four smaller dragons, each of which dominates the sea: the North Sea, the South Eastern and Western Europe.
However, the provider of ocean storms is a dragon in its own right, the Tun Mi Lung. Draghi also monitor four different rivers, set themselves to the four cardinal points, and sometimes identified with the four seas. The master of all the dragons of the rivers is the great Tang Chien, which is blood red, has a flamboyant mane, and tens of kilometers long. Each member of the dragon the hierarchy of heaven must go once a 'year at the Heavenly Palace to account for its activities and events of the past year, according
of its work. Special censors, then distribute rewards and punishments, and if someone is fired and replaced, we report the new hire to people through dreams, in that they must celebrate. Not even humans, in fact, they can bypass this bureaucracy and as appropriate and will be impressum specific prayers for specific dragon.
In this regard, when one is angry, to appease people use to hang out the front door yellow sheets with his image. Finally, there is an important difference in the representation Dragons of the East, among those five, four and three claws. On the number of claws are witnessing a curious phenomenon parochial: according to Chinese dragons are born in China with five claws, then gradually moving them lose one: when they arrive in Korea have four fingers and three in Japan. The Japanese, however, reverses the route, claiming that the dragons are born in their land with three claws, then gradually moving it a buy.
The Eastern dragon has a very long snake-shaped body with four limbs and bone thin. Like the Western legends, including the Eastern iconography - which was widely represented in texts such as the San Ts'o T'ui Hui, the seventeenth century (Ming Dynasty) - illustrates the dragon with attributes of different animals: snake body, scale carp, head of a camel (or cow), deer horns, rabbit eyes, ears of a bull, a long neck like an iguana, frog's abdomen, stubby legs of a tiger and claws of an eagle. In most cases, a lion's mane covering the neck, chin and elbows. The big mouth is flanked by two long whiskers, which are also the dragon and find your way on muddy bottoms. The body of the dragon - whose colors range from green to blue to black, white, red and yellow loor-117 is covered with scales, 81 infused with yin yang energy and 36, they reveal the temper of the animal . In fact, the dragon is a symbol of manhood, and then the yang. The beneficial balance with the yin element is provided by the association with the tiger, which represents both the sky-earth couple. Coupled with the Phoenix instead, so much the applicant in Asia, the dragon is a symbol of prosperity and long life.
Eastern Dragons are usually shown with a flaming pearl held in its claws, the jaws or under the chin, in a fold of the throat. Apparently it is the place where the dragon, especially the male - which for the Chinese is the most common - draws its wisdom and its power. The ability to fly is generally due to Ch'ih muh hand, a bulge in mo 'vescicaposta apex of the head. Apart from exceptional cases, in fact, the Oriental dragon is not has wings, even though they may appear late in the lung very old. Dragons are rarely sighted because, in addition to the ability to disappear in a flash and change its size at will, wisely hiding in mountain caves or on the seabed deeper water, where they rest, especially in cold weather, hot weather, in fact, like to fly in the sky.
