I love Eastern Dragons, they really feel like wise old deities and not just giant lizards. I use this kind of dragon in my fantasy stories all the time 🥰
What stories? Tell us about it
I'd love to see what kind of stories you made!
European dragons > Eastern dragons
I think Eastern dragons aren't given enough attention in literature, films or television. I'd like them more if they could breathe fire, though.
Henry Well I’m making a world where mythical creatures live, the Otherworld (original IKR) and each creature has a specific trait or role and the dragons are all wise beings that live in solitude, collecting knowledge, wealth and wisdom over the years. Younger dragons go to a special university or are mentored by elder dragons to know the secrets of the world and all who inhabit it. The dragons aren’t all the same since some stay in their caves to continue learning while others leave to teach others what they know. They’re typically teachers and/or librarians in the human world and Otherworld but most typically stay away from humans because of all the killings and hunting (remember all the stories of princes slaying dragons?)
Eastern dragon always looks elegant compared to western dragon, both have a great design, but i prefer a dragon that slithering in the sky than a dragon that flapping in the sky.
I was touring the Chinese Theatre in LA, and the tour guide told us about how the dude who built the theatre went to China in the 1920s or so and came back inspired, and he built the theatre. However, when she showed us this mural on the ceiling where the story was something like a hero slaying a dragon and rescuing the princess, I cringed really hard and was like "no man he totally misunderstood the role of dragons in Chinese culture".
❤❤❤❤❤
Eastern dragons put on the alignment chart is definetly lawful, but in myanmar, the dragons are portrayed more lawful evil. But they were STILL NEVER A FOE TO BE SLAIN. Dragons are like demi gods. They're always negotiated with.
SO THATS WHY MAGICKARP EVOLVES INTO GARYDOS!
Yep😊😊😊
Mind..blown...
Yes.
Magickarp is also magic carp, so it’s a magical carp.
Omg, that's amazing.
Im trying to name my jangmo-o xd
Dragons are BADASS
2:54 The Chinese dragons are known as *long*
Japanese dragons are known as short
so thats why there was a show called jake Long american dragon
is loong

The Bakunawa is a serpent-like dragon in Philippine mythology. It is believed to be the cause of eclipses, earthquakes, rains, and wind. The movements of the Bakunawa served as a geomantic calendar system for ancient Filipinos and were part of the shamanistic rituals of the babaylan. It is usually depicted with a characteristic looped tail and a single horn on the nose. It was generally believed to be a sea serpent, but are also variously believed to inhabit either the sky or the underworld.
Due to increasing trade contacts with South Asia and the Indianization of Southeast Asia, the Bakunawa later became syncretized with the Nāga, Rahu, and Ketu of Hindu-Buddhist mythology.
Etymology
Bakunawa is believed to be originally a compound word meaning "bent snake", from Proto-Western-Malayo-Polynesian *ba(ŋ)kuq ("bent", "curved") and *sawa ("large snake", "python"). Spelling variants include Vakonawa, Baconaua, or Bakonaua.

yah.......
Eclipses..you mean that this dragon sometimes blocked the beams of the moon
Oooohhhh... Now I get why Magikarp evolves into Gyarados and why one of its pokedex entries says it can jump higher than a mountain
Dragons are real.
Yep
Bigger than MT everest. MT everest is a Joke. There are mountains so much larger and taller than the himalayas that even MT everest may look like a tiny ice rock.
Drgen!
Nice
PERIODT.
Interesting, that so many different cultures around the world have dragons. This is during different time periods and across various continents.
That's because people just considered all powerful reptile-like legendary creatures 'dragons'.
Most date from around 11.000 years ago.
Dinosaur bones. Most cultures found the bones of dinosaurs and assumed the skeletons of giant "reptiles" was proof for the existence of dragons before we knew what dinosaurs were.
it translated into dragon, but they are completely different
I dunno if this has anything with the vid but we read a story (because of quarantine) about the “Four Dragons”, which where so selfless they gave up on their lives to become 4 of China’s biggest and most important rivers, I dunno, just liked the story
Is this book available online?
I think it's the dragon kings of the east sea? The story is that China originally didn't have any rivers or body of water inland. 4 dragons that lived in the sea chose to become china's 4 main rivers.
Now I know why Magikarp evolves into a serpent which at first, it doesn't make any sense.
Always did like Ryu/Tatsu/Eastern Dragons over Western Drakes. They're portrayed with such grace and awe you can't help but appreciate them.
Respect Magikarp
The Japanese literally had a story about hydra and Hercules
many myths are told all across the world with slight variations, it may or may not be proof that they actually existed
They also have their own version of the Chimera.
Actually so did chinese. Dayu killed a hydra when he was fixing river
Greece and Japan are related.
I agree but massive coencedense happen even fate likes to trick us
The east Dragons are my favorite mythology creature their cool, powerful, wise, and diven
They should up in more mainstream media
Then u should watch shang chi shang chi
In Korean Dragon is called 'Yong'
That rhythms with "long" XD
actually ryong
japanese dragon : ryu
korean dragon : ryong
@@kimurahundoshi4485 ryu + long = ryong
we can see how the pronunciation diverge from Chinese as the myth spreads eastward
@@kimurahundoshi4485Well, actually both yong(용) and ryong(룡) are used :3
In case when you say only the word ‘dragon’ you write in ‘용‘ and read it ‘yong’.
When you say with a word that describes the specific color, or the material that consists the dragon, you write it in ‘룡‘ and read it ‘ryong.
ex) Blue Dragon = 청(blue) + 용(dragon) = 청룡(Cheong-Ryong)
Is it just me or does he sound like he could voice eastern dragons in shows or movies?
Who knows~
Ya definitely
Great narrative 👏, the pics 📸 of the Dragons 🐉 🐉 🐲 🀄 🐉 🐲 🀄 🐉 🐲 are just remarkable.
As much as I love mythical and legendary creatures I have no grudge at all with the Eastern dragons. Because I also enjoy these type of dragons that might be wield or claimed the title Dragon Emperor.
Everyone knows the dragons were the original fire benders
Thankies for Beautiful Eastern Dragon pictures!
You should've gone by the order how the culture was spread, Chinese > Vietnamese > Korean > Japanese. I may not be Vietnamese myself, but always find myself disappointed when content creators miss out or fail to mention the Vietnamese aspect when they're talking about Oriental culture (since Vietnam is also part of the Sinosphere/East Asian Cultural Sphere). That seems to always be the case though.
Ikr
응 아니야~
👍
In Vietnamese: Con rồng (I think).
You forget that dragonlike creatures literally live in Eastern Indonesia and megafauna like dinosaurbirds roamed the planet during the last ice age throughout Australasia. So dragons did not necessarily start from China, the tales about dragons or flying reptiles from the highlands is age old in East Indonesia older than the first migration our of Taiwan.
Woah. The information is all over the place. They didn’t mention that Dragons originates in China, the reason as to why is still unknown. From China it traveled to Korea and then to Japan. The story of the carp getting to the top of the waterfall is of Japanese origin. The Chinese worshipped the the dragons to control rains on their crops, and to avoid floods, the rivers in China were prone to that. I expected much more from this video, sadly disappointed.
How does the carp become dragon is Japan origin if the waterfall itself is in China?
@@user-wr6tc4tw2t Japan is founded by Chinese people who migrate their and adopt Chinese language called kanji
The story of the carp ascending the waterfall to become a dragon likely originates in China though, as it's also a prevalent myth in Vietnam, whose culture derives heavily from Chinese culture. In fact, the myth is so popular that it has long been associated with highschool students striving for their dream position in a well-known university. They say the students are the carps, the entrance exam is the magical gate and when they become uni students, they finally are dragons. I don't know where you got the source saying that the myth comes from China?
@@mylife70777 No they didn't, they only use their Japanese language until some Japanese guy go to learn at China and develop Kanji, do your research right.
The story of the carp leaping over the dragon Gate originated in China. It's called 鲤跃龙门 in Mandarin.
Dragons are a majestic beast created by Buddha.
We must always strive to reach our dreams.
I LOVE DRAGONS!! :D
To us meetei (one of the indigenous Northeastern indian) our serpent like dragon is call Pakhangba, who is the ruling deity of our land and also our ancestor. My dp here is one of his image.
Yes this !! 🙌
1:38 I love how I was listening to Ryujin’s verse in Mafia in the morning and this comes up
Life can be a real drag for a dragon?
Dragging a big tail and dragging the kids off to school..
I'd love to play a video game as an eastern dragon, like a re-imagining of Spyro
Am getting a dragon ball /fairy tail vide here
And one piece at the time of the story we are in with KIDou
king kuro neko KAIDOU*
I just keep thinking of Shenron every time I see a long dragon
Wow I'm a half chn but I was surprised and amazed by what dragon symbolizes......
Love Eastern /Oriental dragon
Ancient Chinese people: What complex name should we bestowed upon the almighty, powerful, omnipotent, and wise creatures that the gods created!!
Ancient Chinese scholar: L O N G
Project Trinity I speak Chinese and believe it sounds quite beautiful. And clearly you know nothing about the language; every Chinese word is monosyllabic without exception. They didn’t do “complex” beyond the characters themselves.
The actual word 龍 in chiness is very complicated...it is a depiction of scenic picture in just one word. On the left means standing on top of moon, and on the right is the waves of the loong's tails. Your meme is only funny to the ignorant.
r/wooosh
It is joke. So take it as a joke. We all don't know chinese langauges. So what did you expect?
@@qweadd6987 ain't joke if it isn't funny
Beautiful pictures! 🐉
Eastern dragons are so fascinating that I started to wish they existed in real life and have the same powers and characteristics as they do in mythology.
@Ching Vang Where do you even know that?
@@chingvang9320 this is some hardcore philosophy, very wise
Nobody: Anyone catch that Orochi was defeated by Susano
Naruto fans: orochimaru who defeated by Sasuke who possessed susano
Itachi* but it’s crazy how it all links together when you get a better understanding about they’re culture.
Another great vid on my favorite mythical beasts
I love dragon
I think all dragons are cool the ones from Europe and Asia
I got mad respect for Magikarps now
I love this video and it's very informative thank you
This is brilliant!
Quito-Ecuador

We ♥️ dragons 🐲🐉.
Can you discuss the 4 devine beast
Sieryu
Genbu
Byyako
Suzako
i've been waiting for somthing like this! the universe of the four gods!
From what I heard, there is a 5th, the golden dragon Kohryu!
Amazing, It would be a blessing for me if I ever get to see a dragon
I find the Carp story a metaphor for enlightenment imo.
So very awesome love Mythology!👏
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Born in the year of the dragon,I’m a dragon..hear me roar..
Can you do a video about Korean history/mythology?
And about the 5 sacred beasts in Chinese mythology
Genji ultimate voiceline
The celestial dragons in one piece are likely a parallel to the eastern emporers coz of Chinese Emperors being the descendants of Dragons who were part of the beginning of the world is similar to the Celestial Dragons Being the descendants of the world gvt creators
Good theory
The carp turning into dragon reminds me of magicrap turning into gerados
All anciant Korean & Japan dragon myth were come from China, they're talking the same dragon.
China Dragon is 8000 years old
India Naga is 2000 years old
I love dragons 🐉
We prefer call as Eastern 🐉. Most 🐉 are influenced by the Chinese 🐉. All because of the spreading of Buddhism to others places like Korea, Japanese and most in South East Asian. Others then integration of belief that had bring by the Chinese during the Maritime of commerce during tge olden times, which are common during that eras.
This artwork is way better than the commentary
That drawing of Ryujin makin him look cross-eyed
Dragons are real and I love Eastern 🐉 I almost want it
Next video should b about thunderbirds in Native American mythology, as we see them on top of totem poles (if it’s not an Eagle 🦅) and in the 1st Fantastic Beast film 🎞.
Their is no Native American mythology. They’re all still religions practiced today, plus each tribe in all regions believe in something different it’s not a uniformed religion
Now I understand why magicarp in Pokemon evolves in gyarados
If Asian/Chinese Dragons can actually breathe fire from the sun, the underworld or the volcano.
Now I see the inspiration for Wano in one piece.
The eastern dragons are big and cool they look like Chinese dragons
Dragons are so cool and awesome and they are really powerful 🐉🐉🐉🐲🐲
I like the wing dragons the best!👍
Wow look at those eastern dragons
Already knew all that, but still cool!
0:08 this is so cute omg
As I am SKorean, I don't know about japanses dragon. Eastern dragon originated and developed all over time in China. You did not studied enough.
Can you make some videos of other Chinese mythology? Like Nüwa, Erlang Shen, Sun Wukong, the Magic Lotus Lantern?
So that's how Magikarp evolved to Gyarados. 🔥
My spirit animal is a dragon a Chinese dragon 🐉
Cause I was born in 2012
Kool
Sees drgen:
uses drgen rend shout,
pulls out daedric sword and shield,
drinks fire resisting potion, finds out it's a frost drgen!
it's a good thing I looked this up
🐉
In manipur,a state in northeast part of india we call dragon 'lairen' meaning king/emperor of god nobody is above this being in my religion called Sanamahism and the people of manipur is the descendants of the said dragon call 'lairen' in my culture.
2:51 KAIDO!
I was born under the sign of a Fire Dragon: (1976)
The Chinese dragons are allowed to have 5 claws per limb while the Korean and Japanese dragons are not allowed to have more than 4 claws per limb.
I really like how eastern dragons.
Nice creatures
I wish I want get a pet Japanese dragon because it’s so beautiful
Thank you I love dragons they are my favorite animal and they were real yes because God made them
Too bad the carp could't beat the dragon/ Yakuza reference
Now you have a bastard that's half dragon and half carp
2024 YEAR OF THE DRAGON 🐉💚
1:34 He just came to know that mac pro wheels cost 700 dollars and people buy them
Honorable mention is probably the Vritra from Hinduism.
Soooooooo what type of dragon is shenron? Well what do you think he’s closest to. I think that he resembled the chinese dragon
It’s most definitely a Chinese dragon seeing that most of DB was based off of Chinese mythology
Long dragon is in my game 😁
ROCK THE DRAGON!
Japanese dragon honrable,wice and peaceful
That blue wolf deer are pretty awesome I wish all the cool creature exist here I mean all over the world even india and Sabah
Hear the feathered serpent was originated in the Maya culture as chac or kukulkan and spread over the world but no one really knows
Nice, short, interesting, informative, I wonder why western dragons are more wicked then the eastern dragons. It can't be from the bible, as the old testerment wasn't known at the time. But i bet it didn't help the western dragons much ,when it came over. Good vid.👍. Be safe.😊
In some part of south east asia contries it called as Naga.
Nagas are more like serpents
They literally mean serpent in Hindi and Sanskrit
@@vatsalj7535 Basically, that's where the Southeast Asia dragon came from, Serpent of Hindus mythology and adapt by local people. It's exist in Malaysia, Indonesia, Phillippine, Thailand, Myanmar, Singapore, Laos and Cambodia. Though Vietnam's dragon might have influence by China.
Eastern dragons are the pinnacle of E L E G A N T E
ah so that's the inspiration for magikarp and gyarados 3:25
