In China, the dragon has prevailed as  the trusted custodian of the  highest fonn of wisdom — the pearl.  As a supernatural power, the dragon became  the symbol reserved  strictly for the Emperor. Those who chose to embroider a  dragon  upon their clothing dared to equate themselves with the Emperor  and did  so at their own peril.
