Mythical snakes
Print Edition
SNAKE is often called “xiaolong” (small dragon) in Chinese culture, not only because the similarity in appearance, but also due to the mysterious features of the creature in ancient people’s view.
It is footless, yet moves fast; it looks soft, yet fierce in attack; it thrives in summer and sleeps in winter. Curious and fear surround the creature and various legends were created about the snake, including some snake-shaped mythical creatures with great power.
