In Chinese mythology the dragon is the creator. In Christian Western mythology the dragon is a force of destruction. Those interpretations could not be further apart. The question that thus arises is how can Chinese and Westerners understand each others when the mythologies that they thaught about since early age describe the same things in completely opposite terms? I tried to represent the Chinese understanding, through my Western eyes, not much of a destructive force at work here.
