China is known as the land of the Dragon, and the dragon has been synonymous with the Chinese for centuries, and carved Jade dragons have been found which are over 5000yrs old
There is a new theory as to where the dragon originated and that is, as humans began to develop primitive agriculture, Thunder and lightning where the initial inspiration and the Chinese pronunciation of Dragon “Long” resembles the sound of Thunder, And as weather was important to the success of crops especially rain the farmers would pray to the “dragons “ to bring them or thank them for it. Steadily the myth was born… sounds plausible to me

Actually there were no chips, But Snakes are eaten in China about 10000 tons a year and as a consequence the snake numbers have been steadily declining for years now.
I had to choose mine from a basket it was then killed and gutted at the table a small cup with the blood and alcohol was offered and drunk…. Ugh the snake was then fried in batter for me, it tasted like chicken but with lots of bones
