Zhejiang's Unique Dragon Statues: Cultural Story

Put an end to the body shaming! Chinese Dragons come in all shapes and sizes! 🤣 For real though, why are dragons in Zhejiang cut into pieces like they're about to be put on a dinner plate? I finally got the answer from a local dragon dance performer! (disclaimer: China is a big place and local customs vary so this may not be the exact explanation for all "dismembered dragons", there may be other reasons in other parts of the province)
