Abstract

Myths are manifestations of CULTURE of a nation, and in a sense, the origin of art and literature is myth. In fact, the CULTURE and civilization of a nation and ethnic group is rooted in its mythology. When we speak of myth comes first to mind exotic animals like DRAGON. In CHINESE MYTHOLOGY, the DRAGON is a serious and important character. Based on descriptive-analytical method and comparative studies, the aim of present article is to study the place of DRAGON in Iranian and Chinese myths and FOLKLOREs. The research shows that in Iranian myths, the hero comes face to face with the DRAGON and his victory depends on killing it. But in Chinese myths, after calming the DRAGON, the hero makes peace with it. In Iranian FOLKLORE, the DRAGON is symbol of Ahriman, but in Chinese CULTURE, it has a positive function.
