The Mythical Dragon is also known as long, loong, or lung, is a symbol of great power in China. The Chinese believe that they not only control the weather, but the element water. There are four seas that are controlled by four different dragon kings. The East Sea is controlled by Azure, the blue- green dragon. The Cinnebar dragon, also known as the Red dragon, controls the South Sea. The other two seas are the West Sea, restrained by the White dragon and the North Sea controlled by the Black Dragon.
Loong has been known to take more than the form of the original mystical dragon. They have been known to have the body of a silkworm or a powerful person such as an emperor. Though dragons are a symbol of good luck, if the dragon is seen facing downward in a picture then it is very bad luck. Many pictures depict dragons with a flaming pearl. This particular pearl associates with spiritual energies such as wisdom, prosperity, power, and immortality.
