The dragon is the most popular and widely recognized icon to come out of the great Chinese culture. It is thought that the legend of the dragon was inspired by the reverence for the sky by the ancient Chinese. To the ancient Chinese, the sky was seen as the origin of the wind, sunshine, storms and water. These Chinese named the dragon of the sky "Lung" or "Long". This is the dragon that had the greatest significance in Chinese culture. It was said to have controlled the sky and thus the water and weather. This dragon type is often portrayed as a yellow or green dragon and was thought of as a positive force. The green dragon brought rejuvenating rains and also symbolized the spring months, when renewal takes place. One of the animals of the Four Directions of China, the green dragon represented the East. Its element is wood and it is associated with the active "yang" principle. Throughout Chinese history, the great Emperors used the icon of the dragon to be their official seal and gave themselves titles such as The True Dragon. Even their thrones were associated with the dragon, called "the dragon seat". Today, the fantastic image of the dragon has spread across the globe and has found its way into movies, books, anime, art and countless tattoos. Now you can bring the great tradition of the dragon home with this fantastic Midnight Dragon Lamp.
