This item is 100% handmade. All materials we used are in good quality. It is a good choice for collectors.In most Western stories, dragons are regarded as evil, dangerous, and having a dark role by breathing fire to ruin towns and villages. But in China, dragons are totally different. They are powerful and benevolent symbols in Chinese culture, e.g. they can summon rain for people during a drought.

hinese dragons don't exist in real life — there is no evidence to prove that they are real creatures.

• The Chinese dragon is one of the twelve Chinese zodiac signs.

• Emperors in ancient China were identified as the sons of dragons. And, at that time, ordinary people were not allowed to have items with pictures of dragons on them.

• Chinese dragons are symbolic of being lucky, propitious, powerful, and noble; not as monsters as they are portrayed in Western stories.
• As a powerful symbol, some strong people like to have dragon tattoos on their arms, legs, backs, and chests, but usually they are not regarded as very easygoing people.
• Most Chinese dragons' pictures have long bodies like snakes and sharp claws like hawks, not like dinosaurs.
• Chinese dragons don't have wings but they can "fly" into the sky.
• Chinese dragons don't breathe fire but can summon rain.
• Chinese dragons live at the bottom of seas, rivers, lakes, or anywhere with water.
• Chinese people love the Chinese character for a dragon (龙 lóng /long/) and a surname with the character, e.g. famous movie stars, such as Jackie Chan (成龙 chéng long /chnng long/ 'become dragon') and Bruce Lee (李小龙 lǐ xiǎolong /lee sshyaoww-long/).
