In Chinese mythology, the dragon known for being benevolent and associated with water is the Long. Revered as a symbol of strength and good fortune, the Long is often linked to rainfall and agriculture, as it is believed to control water bodies. In contrast to negative dragon portrayals in some cultures, the Long embodies wisdom and purity in Chinese tradition. Festivals often celebrate this dragon, reinforcing its role as a protector and a bringer of prosperity in the community.
