early chinese dragons are depicted with two to five claws. different countries that adopted the chinese dragon have different preferences; in mongolia and korea, four-clawed dragons are used, while in japan, three-clawed dragons are common. by the yuan dynasty, the five-clawed dragons became reserved for use by the emperor while the princes used four-clawed dragons. the usage of the dragon motif was codified during the yuan dynasty, and phoenixes and five-clawed two-horned dragons may not be used on the robes of officials and other objects such as plates and vessels. it was further stipulated that for commoners, "it is forbidden to wear any cloth with patterns of qilin, male fenghuang (chinese phoenix), white rabbit, lingzhi, five-toe two-horn dragon, eight dragons, nine dragons, 'ten thousand years', fortune-longevity character and golden yellow etc."

dragons are legendary creatures that appear in the myths of many cultures. in the west, european dragons are depicted as reptilian or serpent-like creatures that breathe fire. the chinese dragon is completely different. chinese dragons are benevolent creatures that give emperors their power and are representative of all the forces of nature. in many representations of the chinese dragons, they are shown pursuing the elusive flaming pearl, the symbol of all power and knowledge.
