CSM 2011 - Combined Scientific Meeting 2011

Legend has it that the dragon held a powerful pearl. Pearls were believed to be the tears of the moon in Chinese mythology. Some of the tears were taken up by dragons who watched over them in great submarine palaces. The dragon pearl is said to be the dragon’s most coveted and sacred treasure and is considered an emblem of wisdom.
