The ancient dragon pillar does not directly carry the image of the characters in myths and legends. Rather, it is used more as a decorative architectural element to give the building a sense of grandeur and magnificence. Although dragons are rich in myths and legends in Chinese culture, the dragon pillars themselves are not wrapped in specific myths or legends.
In the past years, the dragon pillars were more inclined to represent characters from myths and legends. In Chinese culture, dragons are regarded as supreme beings, with mystical powers and special abilities. As a special element of carving and architectural form to express the image of the dragon, the dragon pillar is regarded as a symbol of dragon mythology and legend. Its image and decoration often echo the characteristics of the dragon, and through exquisite carvings and unique shapes, it shows people the majesty and glory of the dragon in ancient myths and legends.
Through the existence of the dragon pillar, the ancient people combined the mythical and legendary dragons with buildings, palaces, etc., to create a sacred and mysterious atmosphere to express their reverence and belief in the mythical world. As a result, dragon pillars were used in ancient times to symbolize characters in myths or legends.
