Since ancient times, dragons have been endowed with multiple cultural significance. In the symbol of the emperor, the dragon represents the supreme authority and status, and the emperor is known as the "true dragon son of heaven". In agrarian societies, dragons are also associated with water and rainfall, and are believed to be gods who control rain and bless good harvests. In addition, the image of the dragon often appears in Chinese architecture, clothing, literature and art, becoming a unique aesthetic symbol.

In modern society, the symbolism of the dragon is no longer limited to ancient myths and legends, and it has gradually become a cultural symbol with international influence. In artistic creation, artists often combine traditional dragon culture with modern elements to create works with a sense of the times and innovation. These works not only show the charm of dragon culture, but also a modern interpretation and inheritance of traditional Chinese culture.
On the occasion of the Chinese New Year in the Year of the Dragon, Ultiland has teamed up with trendy toy artist Li Long to present the "Dragon Boy" series, launching 10,000 unique and wonderful NFT creations. In each work, these traditional elements are reinterpreted in new forms and visual languages.

Personal creative philosophy:
I wanted to depict more characters with a sense of story, and narrative and emotion are at the heart of artistic expression, and they are the basis for the resonance of the work. Years of working in the field of art and design have given me the habit of being sensitive to thinking and always in dialogue with myself. I hope to always be as curious about the world as a child, and I also have an attitude towards life and learning. ”
