Imperial legend

In Chinese mythology, the dragon is revered as a powerful creature symbolising strength, wisdom, and prosperity. Celebrated as the guardian of the natural world, the dragon commands the rain, the rivers and the heavens. Embodying enlightenment, knowledge, and the ultimate truth, the noble dragon protects the pearl of wisdom as its source of greater wisdom and divine authority.
