Yinglong - Definition and Overview

Yinglung was a dragon believed to be a powerful servant of Huang Di, the yellow emperor, who was later immortalized as a dragon. One legend states that Yinglong helped a man named Yu stop the yellow river from flooding by digging long channels with his tail.

The Yinglung is the oldest of all eastern dragons. Once all dragons reach a certain age, they develop wings.
