The dragon is the national emblem of China; it plays an important part in political, literary and social life. The throne of China is the Dragon Throne; the national ensign is the yellow flag with a blue dragon; the scholar leaps the Dragon Gate when he passes a successful examination. Interwoven with so many of their beliefs and customs, the dragon become the symbol of all that is peculiarly Chinese, as the cross is the symbol of all that is Christian. Illustrated. |
