/\ So the bear symbolises China way before the dragon did. That is very interesting.
Some of the posts are giving me new ideas in my story writing.

I know I am guessing but that is an interesting thought. Yes they do. According to chinese mythology, bears and dragons are powerful creatures that can travel through heavens, middle world, underworld or through darkness and light. In fact as archeological object show, dragons are creatures with Bear head and Snake body. Snake, Bears and Dragons have alot of similarities like rebirth, strength and mediation etc. Hope this helps. .

/\ Thanks for your explanation. That is part of ancient Chinese belief: hybrid animals but that is another story.
