The Chinese dragon

About this book

Almost a century ago, after 14 years of studying the creature that is the Chinese Dragon, L. Newton Hayes concluded that there are real dragons living in China today, such is the belief of at least seven out of every ten Chinese. His findings, published and illustrated in The Chinese Dragon, tell of a magnificent creature – the king of beasts – who’s spirit and authority is woven throughout China’s 5,000 years of culture and held in the highest esteem by the Chinese people. 90 years later, The Chinese Dragon reads more like a work of fiction than the non-fiction study it was when first published. While the facts of the dragon remain unchanged, today’s modern society provides a new context for the book that the author could have only imagined. Read The Chinese Dragon and, through this glorious beast, experience the wondrous beliefs of the Chinese that have endured for centuries.
