Awesomeness Of Chinese Mythological Creatures Highlighted In Twitter Thread

There are many magical creatures with supernatural powers in Chinese mythology. The variety of these creatures are numerable and fascinating and all based off of totally real and awesome animals. Chinese mythology is a collection of cultural history, folktales, and religious tradition that has been passed down for centuries in oral or written form.

Lucky for us, all we have to do is scroll through Twitter and boom, we learn about aspects to Chinese mythology from the comfort of our couches. There are several aspects to Chinese mythology, including creation myths and legends, and myths concerning the founding of Chinese culture and the Chinese state. Pretty gosh darn interesting if you ask us.

Dragons! We already know that dragons are powerful symbols throughout history. Especially so in Chinese history and mythology. People literally see dragons as the protectors of our realm. The protectors of our realm. That sounded so cool we had to write it down twice.
