From ancient times, the dragon has been worshiped
as a water god, said to rise up into the heavens above. Traditional
lore has it that the water that rises with the dragon is what
moistens the ground, and together with the sun rising from the
east, brings abundant harvests. The dragon has also long been
considered a symbol of the Chinese culture. It is believed that
the dragon is a nature god invented by the ancestor of the Chinese
people. The sight of lighting, which accompanies the natural phenomenon
of clouds gathering and the ensuing rainfall, is thought to have
been the inspiration for the dragon. Lighting bolts are expressed
exquisitely with mother - of - pearl inlays which glitter and
change color depending on the way that the light strikes them.
Today it is believed that people from prehistory who were awed
by such natural phenomena created and worshipped the dragon as
a symbolic entity to which they attributed this overwhelming power.
