Once you see one wood dragon, you see wood dragons everywhere. Meet the Rainbow Wood Dragon.
Today’s Wood Dragon is also a ‘Push Me, Pull You’ Siamese twin Wood Dragon. Seeing double. Two heads are better than one. And are they both male or both female or male and female ? And what happens with their sex life when they date single headed wood dragons ?
‘Never seen anything like it’ to quote Dr Dolittle.
And with the Chinese Year of the Wood Dragon in 2024, a two headed dragon is known as the Rainbow Dragon in China.
From Wiki – Hong Rainbow Dragon :
Hong or Jiang (Chinese: 虹; pinyin: hóng or jià ng; Wade–Giles: hung or chiang; lit. ‘rainbow’) is a two-headed dragon in Chinese mythology, comparable with rainbow serpent legends in various cultures and mythologies.
The regular script Chinese character 虹 for hong or jiang “rainbow” combines the “wug radical” with a gong å·¥ “work” phonetic. Both Qin dynasty seal script and Zhou dynasty bronze script elaborated this same radical-phonetic combination. However, the oldest characters for “Rainbow” in Shang dynasty oracle bone script were pictographs of an arched dragon or serpent with open-mouthed heads at both ends. Eberhard notes, “In early reliefs, the rainbow is shown as a snake or a dragon with two heads.”
