Type of Dragon(mengikut kepercayaan cina)

There are nine types of classical Chinese dragons. They are as follows:

Tianlong, the Celestial Dragons, are the celestial dragons who pull the chariots of the gods and guard their palaces.

Shenlong, the Spiritual Dragons, control the wind and the rain.

Fucanglong, the Dragons of Hidden Treasures, are underworld dragons which guard buried treasures, both natural and man-made. Volcanoes are said to be created when they burst out of the ground to report to heaven.

Dilong, the Underground Dragons, are earth dragons whose task it is to preside over rivers and streams. According to some accounts, they are the female counterpart of the Shenlong and they fly only in order to mate.

Yinglong, the Winged Dragons, are the oldest of all eastern dragons and the only kind with wings.
Qiulong, the Horned Dragons, are considered to be the mightiest dragons.

Panlong, the Coiling Dragons, are water dragons believed to mostly inhabit the lakes of the Orient.

Huanglong, the Yellow Dragons, once emerged from the River Luo and presented the legendary Emperor Fu Hsi with the elements of writing. They are known for their scholarly knowledge.

Lóng Wáng, the Dragon Kings, are rulers over each of the four seas, those of the east, south, west, and north. Although their true form is that of a dragon, they have the ability to shapeshift into human form. They live in crystal palaces guarded by shrimp soldiers and crab generals
