But in folklore, there are far more than these dragons, and they are all said to be sons of dragons. In fact, the so-called dragon gave birth to nine children, not that the dragon happened to give birth to nine children. In the traditional culture of ancient China, nine is often used to express many things, which has a supreme position.
