No then that negates the historical literary sources of all the other allegories.
What’s the dragon then? The classical symbol of China is the dragon. Your new interpretation isn’t historical. Since all the others are historical allegory, it makes no sense if just one of the phrases is a new interpretation.
That would break the unifying theme of the piece.
Dragon has never been anything but China from the historical literary perspective of allegory.
I never thought that the biggest detriment of younger people not obtaining a well-read classical education and being versed in the greatest minds of the western world, would be over a post in a yak fur blanket weaving forum but there we are.
