  1. Emperors and the Dragon Kings By: Madison and Camille English I—Louise S. McGehee School (“Dragon Galleries”) ^

  2. The Dragons • Chinese call themselves “Lung Tik Chuan Ren,” or Descendants of the Dragon. • During the year of Dragon (which is every twelve years), people receive “health, wealth, and a long life” (Yaoting, Chen). • The Imperial Dragon is the symbol for powerful rulers. • Imperial dragons supposedly brought great wealth. • Lung (another word for the Chinese dragon) represents power to the sovereign. ^Chinese symbol of a dragon^ (“All About Feng Shui”)

  3. Emperors • “Dragons are so wise that they have been royal advisors” (GuoXin, Zhou). • Many of the dragon’s descendants became great rulers. • Emperors of China depended on dragons’ fortunes to become successful rulers. • Many emperors believed that without the dragon, they would not be able to rule as successfully as they could. (Davis, Hadland) ^ (“Animation Library”) >

  4. ж   If you called an emperor of China a dragon face, they would take it as if you were complimenting them. ж     During the different dynasties, the emperors would offer sacrifices to the dragon kings – to receive good fortunes. (“The Chinese Dragon”) ^ (“Animation Library”) ^

  5. Dragon Kings • In ancient Chinese mythology, the dragon represents one of the four spirits. • Different dragons correspond to directions, different seas, and things in Heaven and Earth. (“The Chinese Dragon”) ^

  6. Myths (“Dragon Galleries”) • The Chinese word for myth is shen hua, which means stories of gods. Chinese myths do not only come from China, but they can start in other places.  • In Chinese mythology, there are the Dragon Kings of the Five different emperors. They all have certain purposes in these myths. They consist of dragons that guard, control wind and rain, first dragon, and the heavenly and earthly dragons. (“Animation Library”) >
