thread_title: Originated from China

message: Has anyone heard of the myth about the islands of Japan being a dragon? I don't remember when or where I've heard it, but the legend explains the differences in the numbers of claws between Chinese and Japanese dragons. The myth says that:
A Chinese dragon encountered great peril in its country, and it had to leave. In its haste, the dragon travelled eastward toward the rising sun. But on its way, it met obstacles of great difficulty and had to use its ultimate powers by sacrifice - the dragon lost a claw from each foot. After escaping out to sea, the tired dragon went to sleep, thus forming the islands of Japan.
I think there is a similar myth for Hong Kong and it may be related. There might be a "bigger" story where there were several dragons fighting over the mainland and one won over the others - remaining to be the guardian of the Imperial family... or something like that. Has anyone encountered a story like that? --Emana 00:51, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've heard that myth before (although I can't remember where, exactly), so yes, I believe that, with some more citations, something ought to be added to the article about it. 24.124.88.11 (talk) 16:34, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

message: do we need this section? is it really necessary to list every single story that happens to have a dragon in it?

message: Under the heading "Chinese-Japanese dragons", the 4th sentence in the penultimate paragraph states "However, contrary to the Japanese belief that the three-clawed dragons also originated from China and was introduced in Japan." This doesn't make any sense. I think that what the editor was trying to say is that "contrary to the Japanese belief, three-clawed dragons originated in China and were introduced to Japan", but frankly I am not certain. Can anyone clarify? Thanks. Bricology (talk) 12:40, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
