Dragons
have existed in both Eastern and Western civilization. Although both cultures
have different rituals and beliefs, the dragons remains the same. Chinese
dragons are regarded with the same respect as their counterparts from
the other side of the globe. Chinese dragons excel in color and grace.
They are as big and intelligent as medieval dragons and are able to breath
fire as well.

Nobody
knows exactly where dragons came from. The Chinese believed that dragons
were a combination of animals such as snakes, lizards and flying reptiles
all enveloped in one body. They believed that these creatures were created
by wizards and witches. It is believed that Chinese dragons had the power
over natural elements such as wind and rain. They were said to control
these elements and chose where and when they wished the storms to occur
"The Asia Dragon" painted by Roger Dean
shows a silver dragon fighting a watery grave in order to capture a magical
talisman. "The Earth Dragon" painted by Peter Pracowni is absolutely
the most beautiful of all Chinese dragon posters. It depicts a sophisticated
looking coiled dragon. "The Wyverex Auctor" shows a fiery red
dragon about to be crowned as the ruler of evil. And finally "Year
of the Dragon" shows the Green Dragon wrapped around a concrete post.
These are a tiny portion of my favorite Chinese dragon posters.
