Wonderful Attainment / Soaring Dragon, Boundless Empire

2013, Oil on Canvas, 200x100cm (100F)

"Chinese dragons are legendary creatures in Chinese mythology and folklore.

In Chinese art, dragons are typically portrayed as long, scaled, serpentine creatures with four legs.
In yin and yang terminology, a dragon is yang and complements a yin fenghuang ("Chinese phoenix").

Chinese dragons traditionally symbolize potent and auspicious powers, particularly control over water, rainfall, hurricane, and floods. 

The dragon is also a symbol of power, strength, and good luck. With this, the Emperor of China usually used the dragon as a symbol of his imperial power and strength.

In Chinese daily language, excellent and outstanding people are compared to the dragon while incapable people with no achievements are compared with other, disesteemed creatures, such as the worm. A number of Chinese proverbs and idioms feature references to the dragon, for example: "Hoping one's son will become a dragon" (望子成龍, i.e. be as a dragon). "
