Chinese/Japanese/Asian Dragons...

 

The dragon as known in Asia is not the wild and almost gruesome creature depicted in the stories of medieval Europe.
Instead, the Chinese dragon is full of wisdom, strength, and goodness. It is said the dragon can be found in the highest mountains, or deep in the unfathomed sea. When active, he can be found in the storm clouds flying high above.
Of course, he is also known as the god of water, so the clouds and sea are home to him.

The dragon can grab lightning with his claws and the roar of a hurricane is really the voice of the dragon.

He is the chief of all scaled animals, and is described in ancient writings this way:
The head of a camel, horns of a deer, eyes of a rabbit, ears of a bull, neck of a snake, belly of a frog, scales of a koi fish (carp), claws of a hawk, and palms of a tiger.

These are the nine InchresemblancesInch of a dragon - one of the reasons that 9 is seen as Inchthe number of the dragonInch.

The official Romanized Chinese for dragon is InchlongInch but in older English books it's sometimes spelled InchlungInch. Both of these spellings don't tell you the true vowel sound which is really like the English word InchohInch.

Chinese/Japanese/Asian Tigers...

Every place has something they believe in. They are often called a myth or legend. To a majority of ethnic groups they are in believe of a god and myths on animals. In this case for China they have a big thing for animals like tiger, dragons, serpents, snakes, etc. They each have a myth or legend on the animal. It is a story of respecting the animal and showing that an animal is useful. Now about tigers. To china they are respected. Like in Chinese mythology there is a story called InchThe tale of the trusty tigerInch which I fond interesting. The tiger is well respected after saving a man that was trapped in a ditch. The man respected the tiger by every year feeding the tiger a fresh pig. There is another tale called InchTiger boysInch which I fond interesting. It is another myth on boys going to the woods turning in to tigers. There is other tales that you can check out. Now I will be talking about tigers and their different types. There is the Sumatran Tigers and there is also the Siberian Tigers. The five different types of living tigers today are: Siberian Tiger, Bengal Tiger, South-China Tiger, Indo-Chinese Tiger, and the Sumatran Tiger. The Siberian Tiger's scientific name is Panthera tigris altaica. The Siberian Tiger is the largest living cat today. There are three types of tigers that became extinct. Those tigers are called The Bali Tiger, Javan Tiger, and the caspian Tiger. There was eight types of tigers before, but now there is five types left. The south china tiger is near extinction. Only 20-30 south china tigers are left in the whole world. Probably they will pay more attention to the south china tigers. I know that in China they are doing all they can to save the tigers because they are very fond of them. Without that tiger it might change the way things are in China. I know they have great respect for this great type of a tiger. Even if China has all those other myths on animals they are really close to losing one of their well known animals or their type of tiger. In my opinion they are probably going to lose one of their best animals and maybe the best.
