Features: Dragon culture is not only Chinese but also global. It is no exaggeration to say that dragon culture has spread to East Asia and Southeast Asia; it has also reached the Americas. Archaeological discoveries in the Americas continue to reveal relics and traces of ancient Chinese culture. It is said that more than 120 ancient Chinese scripts have been found in the Americas; the dragon and phoenix art of ancient indigenous Americans is remarkably similar to that of China in both connotation and form. Although this book does not delve into the dragon culture of the Americas, it includes a dedicated chapter comparing the dragon king beliefs of the East Asian ethnic groups with those of Zhoushan, providing new evidence for the spread and global nature of Chinese dragon culture.
