Chinese dragons are, unlike Western dragons, and despite their fierce miens, exclusively benevolent. The pearl traditionally represents truth, life and wisdom; or the potent, universal force of Chi. It is the ultimate creative force - Yang energy rising - and available only to those who have perceived the truth and attained enlightenment. The dragon will protect your pearl until you are ready to receive it.
