Dragon

Westerners think that dragon is a fierce and evil beast. Its always protraited as a creature ready to kill.

Chinese think that its a heavenly animal and we are known as the descendants of dragon.

Now researchers want to change the Chinese dragon to Loong instead using of dragon.

The use of dragon is commonly accepted by everyone and to change the word is not easy.

Westerners hardly use 'dragon' unlikely Chinese. As such, it should be as a default that a dragon is a 'Chinese' dragon not a 'Western' dragon mah. Else if 2 Westerners talking, should be 'Western dragon' and if talking to Chinese, should be China dragon.

Look at us. 12 horoscope got dragon, temple got dragon, dragon beard got dragon even Dragon Boat festival also got dragon. For Westerners, only fairy tales got dragon

Should this word be changed just because Westerners think it evil? or should the Westerners changed the word 'dragon' to another word instead of China changing it to 'Loong'
