Cherish - Dragon and Phoenix

CHERISH

READ ON WATTPAD

The First Dragon, P’angu, died after creating China. He left the Dragons, the Phoenix, the Unicorn, and the Tortoise, who tells the people P’angu dreams.

P'angu also left his Father the sky; Yang and his Mother the earth, Yin. For centuries, they were serpents with human heads then dragons. As thousand of years passed, P'angu’s Mother was titled Queen Mother of the West and his Father King Father of the East. Each transformed into humans and dressed in the finest gowns of golden silk embroidered with dragons of bright colors. They are Celestial Dragons that hold up the heavens and live in the royal temple on a golden mountain that reaches into the middle of the sky. One of P'angu brother draws the Sun God's chariot through the day. During the First Dynasty of the Earth Dragon, the Sun God helped humans; he gave medicine and herbs and the five crop stone to the farmers.

P’angu friends, the White Jade Dragon and the Golden Phoenix, stayed in the Milky Way and created a magic Pearl, which the Queen Mother of the West steals for a 3,000-year  party when her peaches ripen.

Boundless - P'angu, the First Dragon, #AtoZ Challenge

READ ON WATTPAD

BOUNDLESS

Before there was anything, there was Yin and Yang in chaos circling in the sky of the might Milky Way. P’angu, the First Dragon came from the comic egg and as he grew he dreamed creating the Dragons, the Phoenix, the Unicorn and the Tortoise. He left us China; today we are part of his world.

The Chinese have told stories about dragons for thousands of years. There are the heavenly celestial Dragons, the dragons of the sky, the earth dragons of the rivers, lakes, mountains, and the court dragons of the Emperor. Chinese Dragons fly without wings, don't breath fire, control the weather, change shapes, die and are reborn. When Dragon bones are found in lakes, rivers or on mountains they are power medicines.

Ambition - Asian Stories #AtoZ Challenge

AMBITIOUS

When telling stories at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, I had the opportunity of my life, immersion in ancient and modern Eastern culture learning about the arts, history, and stories: myths, folktales, legends, and cautionary tales. I call this education my 'Doctorate' in Storytelling.

AMBITIOUS - now I am to write the stories and posts to my pages on the internet. 

My first set of folktales are about DRAGONS, and their importance in shaping of Chinese history. Dragon is a mystical beast and part of the Chinese Zodiac which started about 5,700 years ago. This first drawing of a dragon was found in on a shell about 7,500 years ago.

 Dragon represents creation, magic, strength, respect, honor, good fortune, prosperity, wisdom, good health and power, which leaders used and Emperors wanted. The traditional stories selected for DRAGON SHAPES CHINA depicts this mythical beast history and ambition and epic reputation.

The second set is a mythical legend from the Hindu Ramayana. The epic adventure of King Rama, SITA, the loyal wife of Rama, his brother, and the ten-headed Demon Ravana, who abducts Sita, and of course, Hauaman. Sita is the narrator of these events:  her love, her marriage, her kidnap, and her banishment from Rama's court.

The third set of folktales is simple short history TIGER'S SAGA of ancient Korean and the Man of the Mountain, who stands with Tiger. Today they appear at festivals together. Tiger represents dignity, courage, power, is fierce, unpredictable, territorial, cruel and greedy, has passion, devoted, adventurous, can bring good luck, and solitary. Tiger has powerful muscles, swims, untiring, hunts slowly, silently and carefully at night, and is a good parent.
Tiger is the third in the Zodiac. In Korean the King of Beast and the Lord of the West.
