1 1 Dragon Legend in Chinese Art Motifs (Jade, Bronze, Porcelain, and Folk Arts) Chinese Culture and Society Series Phylis Lan Lin, PhD Associate Vice President for International Partnerships University of Indianapolis 2012 The cultural significance of the dragon in China has made it one of the most wonderful subjects in Chinese art since the Neolithic period. The Chinese dragon is the most distinctive cultural creature in the world civilization. The Chinese dragon image is abstract and concrete; it is a belief and a myth; it has a rooted traditional symbolic meaning and a broader contemporary social interpretation; it has affected the political, social, and economic lives of the Chinese for centuries, and it currently affects art creativity and daily life consumptions. Therefore, the dragon legend is the reflection of Chinese culture and civilization. Dragon culture is one of the most significant representations in Chinese culture and in its art creation (Su, 2000; Lin and Lin, 2000). To understand the dragon legend (the origin, images, and the cultural contents) in China is to understand the soul of Chinese civilization and the evolution of Chinese art motifs. The purpose of this presentation is to depict the evolution of dragon images in various art forms (jade, porcelain, bronze, and folk art) and the interpretation of its symbolism in the cultural context.
