Overview

Excerpt from The Chinese Dragon Chinese geomancy for ages has looked to the dragon as a means of determining the fates and fortunes of the Sons of Han. Until very recently comparatively few Chinese would build a house or bury a corpse without first consulting a geomancer, who would. In one way or another, refer to its probable influence upon his action. It is, moreover, a generally accepted belief that every twelfth hour, day, month, and year of the lunar calendar are under the dragon's dominating control. Chinese history records scores of appearances of the king of beasts through the four thousand or more years since the age of the three mythical rulers. Appearances of the dragon are connected with the stories of many prominent characters of China's past. Perhaps the most noteworthy ref erence is one which states that two dragons as guards of honor visited the home of Confucius on the day that great sage was born. These frequent references to the dragon are considered, for the most part, by the majority of Chinese scholars quite as authentic as the statements about the famous worthies themselves.
