Chinese Yellow Dragon - 黄龙 (huánglóng)
The Yellow Dragon (simplified Chinese: 黄龙 huánglóng) is the zoomorphic incarnation of the Yellow Emperor of the center of the universe in Chinese reli-gion and mythology.
The Yellow Emperor or Yellow Deity was conceived by a virgin mother, Fubao, who became pregnant after seeing a yellow ray of light turning around the Northern Dipper (in Chinese theology the principal symbol of God). Twenty-four months later, the Yellow Emperor was born and was associated with the color yellow because it is the color of the earth (Dì 地), the material substance in which he incarnated.
The Yellow Dragon is a part of Wuxing and the Four Symbols. It represents the Center of the Universe, the Changing of Seasons, and the Earth.
Myths of Fuxi (伏羲) and Huangdi (黄帝)
According to legends, the Yellow Dragon already manifested hornless to Fuxi, emerging from the River Luo, and instructed him with the writing. When he appeared before Fuxi, he filled a hole in the sky made by the mon-ster Gonggong.
The Yellow Emperor was said to have turned into the form of the Yellow Dragon at the end of his life to ascend to Heaven. Since the Chinese consider him to be their ancestor, they sometimes refer to themselves as "children of the dragon" (also see: Nine sons of the dragon). This legend also contributed towards the use of the Chinese dragon as a symbol of imperial power.
The Chinese national flag from 1889–1912 is also called the Yellow Dragon Flag (黄龙旗; 黃龍旗; huánglóng qí).
