Dragon Boats of the Four Seas

HONOR THE DRAGONS

Ancient Eastern Dragons were originally considered beautiful, friendly, and wise. Instead of being feared as were western dragons of legend, they are loved and worshiped. Temples and shrines have been built to honor them, for they control the rain, rivers, lakes, and seas. To ensure a good harvest, citizens would ask the Dragons to watch over their crops and they would decorate their boats with ornate Dragon carvings. Early traditions also often include mention of The Four Seas, four bodies of water metaphorically marking the boundaries of ancient China, for each of the four cardinal directions.
