Kinetic Chinese dragon is an artwork inspired by East Asian dragon or Long. This creature is very famous in Chinese mythology, Chinese folklore, and East Asian culture at large. The Chinese dragon has many animal-like forms such as turtles and fish, but are most commonly depicted as snake-like with four legs.
