I've done a little research. China has been called ''The Land of the Dragon." Chinese say that they are ''sons and grandsons of the Dragon," and ''the descendants of the Dragon." Chinese has a lot of proverbs with the word dragon in them. Chinese architecture, painting and other kinds of artwork also have a lot of images of dragons. I'm really interested in this kind of totem. So I've read a lot of books on this topic.
