About

The Dragon Kings are the divine rulers of the four seas, controlling all waters, weather, and aquatic life. The most prominent is Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the Eastern Sea, who commands rainfall and can cause floods or droughts.

Living in magnificent underwater palaces of crystal and coral, the Dragon Kings govern vast bureaucracies of aquatic spirits. They answer to the Jade Emperor and can be petitioned by humans for rain during droughts.

The Dragon Kings represent the power of water in all its forms, the divine control of weather, and the relationship between human prayer and natural forces.

Famous Story

When Nezha killed Ao Bing, son of the Dragon King, Ao Guang rose from the sea in fury. He demanded justice from the Jade Emperor and called floods upon the land until Nezha's sacrifice appeased his wrath.
