According to Greek legend, this hundred-headed monster, from whose eyes lightning flashes, will one day send hail, floods, and rivers of fire to lay waste Sicilian farms. Among the curious superstitions entertained in China regarding dragon battles, is one that no mortal should watch them. It was not only unlucky but perilous for human beings to peer into mysteries. If we do not seek the dragons, They also will not seek us. When Chinese dragons fight, fireballs and pearls fall to the ground.
Pearls give promise of abundant supplies of water in the future.
It is necessary, if all is to go well, that blue and yellow dragons should prevail over the others. The blue dragon is the chief spirit of water and rain, and this is the deity that presides during the spring season. The Chinese, who called certain beautiful stones dragon s eggs , believed that when they split, lightning flashed and thunder bellowed and darkness came on. The new born dragons ascended from the sky. Before the dragons came forth, much water poured from the stone.
