The Yellow Dragon (simplified Chinese: 黄龙; traditional Chinese: 黃龍; pinyin: Huánglóng; Cantonese Yale: Wong4 Lung4) is the zoomorphic incarnation of the Yellow Emperor of the center of the universe in Chinese religion and mythology.[1]
The Yellow Emperor or Yellow Deity was conceived by Fubao, who became pregnant after seeing a yellow ray of light turning around the Northern Dipper (in Chinese theology the principal symbol of God). Twenty-four months later, the Yellow Emperor was born and was associated with the color yellow because it is the color of the earth (Dì 地), the material substance in which he incarnated.[1]
The Yellow Dragon is a part of Wuxing and the Four Symbols as the embodiment of the element of earth.
