The Qing Dynasty was the final imperial dynasty in China, lasting from 1644 to 1912. It was an era noted for its initial prosperity and tumultuous final years, and for being only the second time that China was not ruled by the Han people

In sharp contrast to Western ideas about dragons, the Chinese dragons are beneficent creatures, the bringer of fertilizing rains. The spiritual meaning of Chinese dragons is strength, good luck, and awe-inspiring power. It has long been the symbol of the emperor.

Chinese dragon is a long, serpentine-like, and legendary creature, its figurines appear everywhere in China: temples, architectures, stone status, museums, books and movies, art galleries, and many artworks.
