About This Item

Dragon TB


To celebrate the New Year (2012)The year of the water dragon. I have put out 9 TB's to honor the nine sons.
This is # 1.


According to legend, a dragon( or a dragon king) had Nine Sons. Although there has been disagreement of their names, their personalities have almost always been the same.The Dragon sent its nine sons to help the first emperor of Ming Dynasty to conquer China. After completing the mission, nine dragons were preparing their journey to return to heaven.
But the emperor wanted them to continue to help the Ming Dynasty. The nine dragons wouldn't stay and the emperor couldn't stop them.
 However, the emperor decided to play a trick on the most powerful dragon, the 6th son. He tricked the sixth dragon son to carry a magic stele with a carved inscription,
 which could suppress any ghost, spirit or evil creature. The 6th dragon couldn't move under the magic stele, and all of his other brothers wouldn't leave without him.
However, they wouldn't work for the emperor anymore. They decided to no longer show their dragon identities and turned themselves into evil creatures.
Since then, the nine dragons have stayed in China.  


Baxia is said to be a good swimmer, hence, his picture is often found on such things as bridges. Other stories name this dragon Ba-Sha. When he was visited by his father the dragon king, he proved himself to be a strong swimmer. Now he can be seen perched on bridges crossing China's waters, watching those in boats.http://www.chinesefortunecalendar.com/2012.htm
