The Chinese dragon (Lun or Lun) is a traditional Eastern symbol of good beginnings, wisdom and imperial power. Dragons have always lived separately from people, although they occupy a high position in mythology due to their wisdom and ability to accumulate wealth, gems and treasures. The magic of the Chinese dragon commands rivers and rain, which is why people often turned to them for help. The harrier is depicted with horns, claws and a row of sharp teeth on its spine. The pearl is a precious symbol of the sun, which contains the divine power of the dragon.
