Um... the golden dragon? What is this for a Vietnamese lucky charm?
This golden dragon ring actually presents a mythical animal common to many oriental countries.
Yet only one people has gone so far as to claim a legendary dragon as their ancestor (yes, yes, by a direct line of filiation): the Vietnamese.
In Vietnam, the golden dragon is in fact an immutable character in mythology. Strength, power and self-confidence, the Vietnamese lucky charms that represent it have interesting properties.
No matter the time that passes and the dynasties that succeed one another, it remains there, always present with the same force in the legends that we tell to children. In this sense, the dragon is an important landmark in our study of Vietnamese civilization.
Several ancestral myths born in the region during the Bronze Age (1st millennium BC) still have an influence on national identity today.
The ancestral golden dragon, conqueror of the northern invaders, mountain deity defending the people against the floods of the Red River, is a good example.
In fact, the sacred animal that this golden dragon ring offers us a glimpse of can be seen as the combination of a crocodile, a snake and a bird. Historically, the Vietnamese settled near rivers. They therefore venerated all these animals to a greater or lesser extent.
For some specialists, this legendary creature is a kind of total expression of Vietnamese wisdom.
So, has the golden dragon aroused your curiosity?
