Eastern dragon always looks elegant compared to western dragon, both have a great design, but i prefer a dragon that slithering in the sky than a dragon that flapping in the sky.
I love Eastern Dragons, they really feel like wise old deities and not just giant lizards. I use this kind of dragon in my fantasy stories all the time 🥰
Henry Well I’m making a world where mythical creatures live, the Otherworld (original IKR) and each creature has a specific trait or role and the dragons are all wise beings that live in solitude, collecting knowledge, wealth and wisdom over the years. Younger dragons go to a special university or are mentored by elder dragons to know the secrets of the world and all who inhabit it. The dragons aren’t all the same since some stay in their caves to continue learning while others leave to teach others what they know. They’re typically teachers and/or librarians in the human world and Otherworld but most typically stay away from humans because of all the killings and hunting (remember all the stories of princes slaying dragons?)
Bigger than MT everest. MT everest is a Joke. There are mountains so much larger and taller than the himalayas that even MT everest may look like a tiny ice rock.
The Bakunawa is a serpent-like dragon in Philippine mythology. It is believed to be the cause of eclipses, earthquakes, rains, and wind. The movements of the Bakunawa served as a geomantic calendar system for ancient Filipinos and were part of the shamanistic rituals of the babaylan. It is usually depicted with a characteristic looped tail and a single horn on the nose. It was generally believed to be a sea serpent, but are also variously believed to inhabit either the sky or the underworld. Due to increasing trade contacts with South Asia and the Indianization of Southeast Asia, the Bakunawa later became syncretized with the Nāga, Rahu, and Ketu of Hindu-Buddhist mythology. Etymology Bakunawa is believed to be originally a compound word meaning "bent snake", from Proto-Western-Malayo-Polynesian *ba(ŋ)kuq ("bent", "curved") and *sawa ("large snake", "python"). Spelling variants include Vakonawa, Baconaua, or Bakonaua. Source: Wikipedia
Dinosaur bones. Most cultures found the bones of dinosaurs and assumed the skeletons of giant "reptiles" was proof for the existence of dragons before we knew what dinosaurs were.
I dunno if this has anything with the vid but we read a story (because of quarantine) about the “Four Dragons”, which where so selfless they gave up on their lives to become 4 of China’s biggest and most important rivers, I dunno, just liked the story
I think it's the dragon kings of the east sea? The story is that China originally didn't have any rivers or body of water inland. 4 dragons that lived in the sea chose to become china's 4 main rivers.
As much as I love mythical and legendary creatures I have no grudge at all with the Eastern dragons. Because I also enjoy these type of dragons that might be wield or claimed the title Dragon Emperor.
@@kimurahundoshi4485Well, actually both yong(용) and ryong(룡) are used :3 In case when you say only the word ‘dragon’ you write in ‘용‘ and read it ‘yong’. When you say with a word that describes the specific color, or the material that consists the dragon, you write it in ‘룡‘ and read it ‘ryong. ex) Blue Dragon = 청(blue) + 용(dragon) = 청룡(Cheong-Ryong)
Woah. The information is all over the place. They didn’t mention that Dragons originates in China, the reason as to why is still unknown. From China it traveled to Korea and then to Japan. The story of the carp getting to the top of the waterfall is of Japanese origin. The Chinese worshipped the the dragons to control rains on their crops, and to avoid floods, the rivers in China were prone to that. I expected much more from this video, sadly disappointed.
The story of the carp ascending the waterfall to become a dragon likely originates in China though, as it's also a prevalent myth in Vietnam, whose culture derives heavily from Chinese culture. In fact, the myth is so popular that it has long been associated with highschool students striving for their dream position in a well-known university. They say the students are the carps, the entrance exam is the magical gate and when they become uni students, they finally are dragons. I don't know where you got the source saying that the myth comes from China?
@@mylife70777 No they didn't, they only use their Japanese language until some Japanese guy go to learn at China and develop Kanji, do your research right.
You should've gone by the order how the culture was spread, Chinese > Vietnamese > Korean > Japanese. I may not be Vietnamese myself, but always find myself disappointed when content creators miss out or fail to mention the Vietnamese aspect when they're talking about Oriental culture (since Vietnam is also part of the Sinosphere/East Asian Cultural Sphere). That seems to always be the case though.
You forget that dragonlike creatures literally live in Eastern Indonesia and megafauna like dinosaurbirds roamed the planet during the last ice age throughout Australasia. So dragons did not necessarily start from China, the tales about dragons or flying reptiles from the highlands is age old in East Indonesia older than the first migration our of Taiwan.
To us meetei (one of the indigenous Northeastern indian) our serpent like dragon is call Pakhangba, who is the ruling deity of our land and also our ancestor. My dp here is one of his image.
Eastern dragons are so fascinating that I started to wish they existed in real life and have the same powers and characteristics as they do in mythology.
Ancient Chinese people: What complex name should we bestowed upon the almighty, powerful, omnipotent, and wise creatures that the gods created!! Ancient Chinese scholar: L O N G
Project Trinity I speak Chinese and believe it sounds quite beautiful. And clearly you know nothing about the language; every Chinese word is monosyllabic without exception. They didn’t do “complex” beyond the characters themselves.
The actual word 龍 in chiness is very complicated...it is a depiction of scenic picture in just one word. On the left means standing on top of moon, and on the right is the waves of the loong's tails. Your meme is only funny to the ignorant.
We prefer call as Eastern 🐉. Most 🐉 are influenced by the Chinese 🐉. All because of the spreading of Buddhism to others places like Korea, Japanese and most in South East Asian. Others then integration of belief that had bring by the Chinese during the Maritime of commerce during tge olden times, which are common during that eras.
In manipur,a state in northeast part of india we call dragon 'lairen' meaning king/emperor of god nobody is above this being in my religion called Sanamahism and the people of manipur is the descendants of the said dragon call 'lairen' in my culture.
The celestial dragons in one piece are likely a parallel to the eastern emporers coz of Chinese Emperors being the descendants of Dragons who were part of the beginning of the world is similar to the Celestial Dragons Being the descendants of the world gvt creators
@@vatsalj7535 Basically, that's where the Southeast Asia dragon came from, Serpent of Hindus mythology and adapt by local people. It's exist in Malaysia, Indonesia, Phillippine, Thailand, Myanmar, Singapore, Laos and Cambodia. Though Vietnam's dragon might have influence by China.
All anciant Korean & Japan dragon myth were come from China, they're talking the same dragon. China Dragon is 8000 years old India Naga is 2000 years old
Next video should b about thunderbirds in Native American mythology, as we see them on top of totem poles (if it’s not an Eagle 🦅) and in the 1st Fantastic Beast film 🎞.
Their is no Native American mythology. They’re all still religions practiced today, plus each tribe in all regions believe in something different it’s not a uniformed religion
A Chinese dragon is god of the Israelites, a being compromised of all types of thing that hold great power. The nehushtan is the only idol that god allows, the nehushtan is a gold serpent on a pole just like the ancient chinese dragon poles. From the land of the rising sun, guardians of the waters of earth and beyond
Nice, short, interesting, informative, I wonder why western dragons are more wicked then the eastern dragons. It can't be from the bible, as the old testerment wasn't known at the time. But i bet it didn't help the western dragons much ,when it came over. Good vid.👍. Be safe.😊

What stories? Tell us about it
I'd love to see what kind of stories you made!
European dragons > Eastern dragons
I think Eastern dragons aren't given enough attention in literature, films or television. I'd like them more if they could breathe fire, though.

Yes.
Magickarp is also magic carp, so it’s a magical carp.
Omg, that's amazing.

yah.......
Eclipses..you mean that this dragon sometimes blocked the beams of the moon
Always did like Ryu/Tatsu/Eastern Dragons over Western Drakes. They're portrayed with such grace and awe you can't help but appreciate them.
Interesting, that so many different cultures around the world have dragons. This is during different time periods and across various continents.
That's because people just considered all powerful reptile-like legendary creatures 'dragons'.
Most date from around 11.000 years ago.
Dinosaur bones. Most cultures found the bones of dinosaurs and assumed the skeletons of giant "reptiles" was proof for the existence of dragons before we knew what dinosaurs were.
it translated into dragon, but they are completely different
Oooohhhh... Now I get why Magikarp evolves into Gyarados and why one of its pokedex entries says it can jump higher than a mountain
Respect Magikarp
I dunno if this has anything with the vid but we read a story (because of quarantine) about the “Four Dragons”, which where so selfless they gave up on their lives to become 4 of China’s biggest and most important rivers, I dunno, just liked the story

I think it's the dragon kings of the east sea? The story is that China originally didn't have any rivers or body of water inland. 4 dragons that lived in the sea chose to become china's 4 main rivers.
Now I know why Magikarp evolves into a serpent which at first, it doesn't make any sense.
The Japanese literally had a story about hydra and Hercules
many myths are told all across the world with slight variations, it may or may not be proof that they actually existed
They also have their own version of the Chimera.
Actually so did chinese. Dayu killed a hydra when he was fixing river
Greece and Japan are related.
I agree but massive coencedense happen even fate likes to trick us
As much as I love mythical and legendary creatures I have no grudge at all with the Eastern dragons. Because I also enjoy these type of dragons that might be wield or claimed the title Dragon Emperor.
The east Dragons are my favorite mythology creature their cool, powerful, wise, and diven
They should up in more mainstream media
Then u should watch shang chi shang chi
In Korean Dragon is called 'Yong'
That rhythms with "long" XD
actually ryong
japanese dragon : ryu
korean dragon : ryong
@@kimurahundoshi4485 ryu + long = ryong
we can see how the pronunciation diverge from Chinese as the myth spreads eastward
@@kimurahundoshi4485Well, actually both yong(용) and ryong(룡) are used :3
In case when you say only the word ‘dragon’ you write in ‘용‘ and read it ‘yong’.

Thankies for Beautiful Eastern Dragon pictures!
1:38 I love how I was listening to Ryujin’s verse in Mafia in the morning and this comes up
Is it just me or does he sound like he could voice eastern dragons in shows or movies?
Who knows~

How does the carp become dragon is Japan origin if the waterfall itself is in China?
