In the Zhou Dynasty, dragons symbolized nobility and power, so they used dragon flags. "Zhou Li" stipulates that "five-toed emperor, four-toed gentleman and three-toed doctor". Biography of Han Wei Xian: "Su Su, my ancestor, will treat Wei, yi zhu and the four little dragons".

Since the Ming dynasty, it has also been compared to the supreme leader, namely the monarch. Monarchs include not only emperors, but also princes, such as the kings of Bhutan and other countries in the Qing Dynasty, also known as dragons.
The concept of dragon is associated with the monarch, which may have originated from the saying of "ancestor dragon" in Qin Dynasty. The story of the Han Dynasty said that Liu Bang was a dragon son, which strengthened this connection. In the Ming dynasty, the dragon was restricted as a symbol of the monarch. Since the Ming Dynasty, emperors have worn dragon robes, but ordinary people are not allowed to wear them. The Qing dynasty inherited some Ming culture.

Transfer meaning
In paleontology, the translation of ancient Greek lizard (Saurosc) refers to some reptiles similar to giant lizards, with limbs, tails or wings. The word "dinosaur" refers to scary lizards in the west, which was translated into dinosaurs by Japanese paleontologists, and later became popular in China (there was an upsurge of studying in Japan in the early years of the Republic of China, and 70% of the terms of natural science, social science and humanities in modern Chinese came from Japanese academic circles). Therefore, the "dragon" here refers to the Greek lizard family, such as the main dragon, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Allosaurus, Liang Long, Tyrannosaurus Rex and so on. Just like the word "gecko" is a transformation.
