Almost a century ago, after 14 years of studying the the highly-esteemed creature that is Chinese dragon, L. Newton Hayes concluded that there are real dragons living in China today. 90 years later, his findings read more like a work of fiction than the non-fiction study it was when first published.
While the facts, the spirit and authority of the dragon remain unchanged, today’s modern society provides a new context for the book that the author could have only imagined. Read The Chinese Dragon and, through this highly-esteemed beast, experience the wonderous beliefs of the Chinese that have endured for centuries.
Reviews for The Chinese Dragon:
“This is a wonderful reissue! The Chinese Dragon is an unpretentious, yet inspired study of dragon lore and imagery, produced at a time when most in the West had not fully recognized the profound importance of China’s cultural traditions.”
Terence Russell, Associate Professor of Chinese, Asian Studies Centre,
