Lung
"The chinese word for Dragons, especially the five toed Imperial Dragons, gaurdians of the Earth"s waters. They inhabit the rain clouds and breathe smoke and flames from their nostrils. Each holds a pearl of wisdom in it"s open mouth, and each has a particular area of responsibility. (denoted by the word that precedes Lung).
For example, Shen Lung, the Spiritual Dragon is the beautiful, multicolored five toed Imperial Dragon of China and the master of the wind-borne rains. Only the Emperor of China was allowed to wear his image – others were forbidden, under penalty of death.
Lung Wang, the Azure Dragon, is the Dragon king. Representing the East and the season of spring, he is one of the four Ssu Ling, or "Spiritual Creatures" that stand at the four corners of the Earth."
