In ancient Chinese mythology, the saying "The Dragon has nine Sons" refers to the fact that the dragon has nine sons, but none of them become dragons; each has their own preferences. It is a metaphor for brothers who have different qualities and hobbies. In traditional Chinese culture, the number nine represents a great many. There is a saying that this does not refer to the dragon having nine sons, but rather to a general term for an imaginary number. The Nine Sons of the Dragon have their origins and should not be confused. The dragon is the "totem" of China.
