This Chinese cultural relic is named "A Pair of Xianglong" and was made during the Tang Dynasty in the 7th century. It is made of gold-plated bronze. The dragon is a universal symbol of glory in Chinese culture. As early as the Neolithic Age, the Chinese believed that this mythical creature was an auspicious animal, living in heaven, providing rain and nourishing life. In the late Bronze Age, dragons were equated with emperors. In 221 BC, the great unifier of China and builder of the Great Wall, Qin Shi Huang, declared himself a descendant of dragons. Since then, almost every ruler has been referred to as the "True Dragon Emperor", and the Chinese court is known as the Dragon King constellation, with the official court attire being dragon robes.
