Chinese dragons are all five-clawed dragon patterns, while Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese dragons are not five-clawed? It is estimated that many people do not know that Chinese dragons are five-clawed dragon patterns, while Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese dragons are not five-clawed. In ancient China, only the emperor could wear dragon robes, and the dragon patterns embroidered on the dragon robes were all five-clawed golden dragons.
Japan, Korea, and Vietnam were once vassal states of China, and monarchs were not allowed to use the five-clawed dragon pattern. Due to the close relationship between Korea and China, emperors during the Ming Dynasty often gave five-clawed dragon robes to the king of Joseon, and in order to distinguish between honor and inferiority, they were only called "python dragon", not "Gunlong". In addition to the imperial dragon robe, North Korea can only use the four-clawed dragon pattern, while Japan and Vietnam can only use the three-clawed dragon pattern, such as the dragon on the current Bhutan flag or the three-clawed dragon.
In addition to the rules of the dragon pattern, the vassal state cannot be called an emperor, but only a king. Even the arrogant Japan did not dare to overstep the title of emperor in ancient times, and could only call the emperor on the sidelines. #History has knowledge ##History ##文化 #
