Chinese Dragons In Chinese mythology, dragons are very wise creatures with supernatural powers. Despite their menacing appearance, they normally don't try to harm humans. They use their powers to protect the heavenly homes of the gods and to help control the weather on the earth.

Because of their miraculous powers, they were once worshiped in some Chinese temples.
