The Chinese dragon, or Long, is a magnificent snake-like creature with the scales of a fish and numerous claws. It is thought to be the most powerful and divine of all creatures, and appears in many cultures across eastern Asia. The dragon statue is associated with rain and the weather, having accumulated an abundance of supernatural powers in the centuries since its inception. The four dragon kings were said to be able to change shape and had full command of the seas, bringing rain and giving drought.

Today the dragon is still widely remembered as a symbol of power and authority. Its image can be seen in dragon statues and on wall paintings in temples all across Asia. The traditional dragon still plays an integral role in celebration of the Chinese New Year, with its rich cultural heritage. The dragon is featured as one of the twelve animals in the Chinese zodiac, and many Chinese proverbs still in circulation make reference to the dragon figurines, invoking images of success and power.
