[42/108] The number nine is special in China as it is the largest possible single digit, and Chinese dragons are frequently connected with it. For example, a Chinese dragon is normally described in terms of nine attributes. This is also why there are nine forms of the dragon and there are 9 sons of the dragon. ✨🐉 . . . #blackout #china #myth #animal #totem #dragon #animaltotem #spiritanimal #astrologysign #zodiac #dragonnewyear #chinesenewyear #tattoo #snake #outline #white #line #chineseastrology #astrology #spiritanimal #dragontotem #dragonspirit #spiritanimal (at Montreal, Quebec)
