Chinese Dragon Paintings
Chinese dragon paintings are known since...nobody knows! Their memory is well into a period which precede any documented written record.
As with other Asian dragons, Chinese dragons have POSITIVE qualities such as power, success, ambition, heroism, divinity, optimism, good luck, and nobility.
Moreover, the Dragon and the color yellow were only permitted to the Emperor.
Superstitious believes are evident.
