AUTHOR

Salisbury, Harrison E.

SUMMARY

The concept of emperor in China is intimately associated with that of the dragon. China's dragons, guardians of the throne, are unlike those of the West. They are benign and protective but can turn like terrible emperors on the people. If they do so, it is the fault of the people, not the dragons. They breathe fire and thrash their tail only if betrayed, a convenient concept for an emperor.Salisbury, Harrison E. is the author of 'New Emperors: China in the Era of Mao and Deng' with ISBN 9780380720255 and ISBN 0380720256.
