Dragons are powerful creatures in Chinese mythology. They’re associated with the ability to control the seasons, weather, harvests and good fortune. They also represent power and authority, and in ancient times Emperors were assumed to have descended from dragons.  

In Chinese culture the colour of the dragon holds unique symbolism. Blue and green dragons are associated with nature, health, and tranquility.
