ABC News: China has a scary dragon stamp

[gambit]

Looks like no one actually read the ABC news article. ABC News is not saying the US is afraid of the image. ABC News is merely reporting what some CHINESE people are saying about the image.

Because it is the Chinese people who criticized it. May be you can find Chinese news articles saying something about Americans complaining about American issues?

Read up a little in Wiki before some you Indians attempt to daemonize China by using western dragon.

Chinese dragons are legendary creatures in Chinese mythology and folklore, with mythic counterparts among Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Bhutanese, Western and Turkic dragons. In Chinese art, dragons are typically portrayed as long, scaled, serpentine creatures with four legs. In yin and yang terminology, a dragon is yang and complements a yin fenghuang ("Chinese phoenix").

In contrast to European dragons, which are considered evil, Chinese dragons traditionally symbolize potent and auspicious powers, particularly control over water, rainfall, hurricane, and floods.[/B] The dragon is also a symbol of power, strength, and good luck. With this, the Emperor of China usually uses the dragon as a symbol of his imperial power.

In Chinese daily language, excellent and outstanding people are compared to the dragon while incapable people with no achievements are compared with other, disesteemed creatures, such as the worm. A number of Chinese proverbs and idioms feature references to the dragon, for example: "Hoping one's son will become a dragon" (望子成龍, i.e. be as a dragon).

In fact, the number of toes in the dragon claw is significant. Dragon used by Emperors has 5 toes, representing the highest power. Next rank in official will have a dragon with 4 toes, and yet next 3.

Bhutan king used to be part of the Chinese empire system, but with low rank: only three toes in the claw:

Another saying:

True or False: the number of toes (on Chinese dragons) affects what jobs they perform.

t. If the dragon had 5 toes on one foot it was a celestial dragon and guarded the houses of the gods. If it had 4 it controlled wind and rain (divine), if 3 guarded rivers, ponds and treasures.

Fail again, Roybot. Inferiority complex showing again.

Slovenians don't identify with the dragon, Chinese do! This fearsome dragon statute is merely Slovenia's interpretation of China's divine creature, and another testament to us Chinese as "descendants of the dragon."

Please refer to my conversation with pdf_shurtah. And at inferiority complex, good one.
