MonkeyMoo&Mommy2: So sad to have to archive this cache. It got a lot of favorite points and was a lot of fun. But I can't get out there to maintain it, so it will have to be shut down :-( Thank you to everyone who visited and made the climb!

Geocache Description:


Tien-lung - The Chinese Celestial Dragon

Bring your own pen and be prepared to channel your inner monkey!

The Celestial Dragon protects the places of the Gods and it is the ruler of dragons. It protects the heavens, where the gods live.

Unlike the the negative energies associated with Western Dragons, most Eastern Dragons are beautiful, friendly, and wise. They are the angels of the Orient. Instead of being hated, they are loved and worshipped. Temples and shrines have been built to honor them, for they control the rain, rivers, lakes, and seas. Many Chinese cities have pagodas where people used to burn incense and pray to dragons. The Black Dragon Pool Chapel, near Peking, was reserved for the Empress and her court. 

The Dragon brings upon the essence of life, in the form of its celestial breath, known to many as sheng chi. He yields life and bestows its power in the form of the seasons, bringing water from rain, warmth from the sunshine, wind from the seas and soil from the earth. The Dragon is the ultimate representation of the forces of Mother Nature. The greatest divine force on Earth. 

The Chinese Dragon is often seen as the symbol of divine protection and vigilance. It is regarded as the Supreme Being amongst all creatures. It has the ability to live in the seas, fly up the heavens and coiled up in the land in the form of mountains. Being the divine mythical animal, the Dragon can ward off wandering evil spirits, protect the innocent and bestow safety to all that hold his emblem. The Chinese Dragon is look upon as the ultimate symbol of Good Fortune. 

There is an unactivated dog tag trackable for the FTF!
