Thanks. This sounds like an interesting find but I'd like to see the data analyzed minus the article's attempt to "corroborate the Yellow Emperor legend", which is a sensational headline that goes beyond what the find warrants (it'd be kind of like if a Greek archaeologist published an article titled, "Snake-headed woman figurine corroborates Medusa legend!"). I think what the article actually describes, minus the headline, is evidence of the prevalance of jade bear-dragons in the Hongshan culture. What I find interesting about that is the parallel with the use of bear imagery in prehistoric Europe.

Yup... and dragons seem to be everwhere too. I'm getting ready to read a section/chapter (in the book I'm reading) about dragon myths worldwide.
