Longmu (original) (raw)

In Chinese mythology, Longmu (simplified Chinese: 龙母; traditional Chinese: 龍母; lit. 'Mother of Dragons'), transliterated as Lung Mo in Cantonese, was a Chinese woman who was deified as a goddess after raising five infant dragons. Longmu and her dragons developed a strong bond for each other and have thus become an example of filial devotion and parental love, an important virtue in Chinese culture.
