Shenlong Dilong for Abacus Row (Year of the Dragon Mix)

Few creatures throughout history have captured the human imagination like dragons have. From evil fire breathing beasts to revered symbols of power and good luck. In Chinese folklore, two of the most significant are Shenlong 神龍 (Divine Dragon) and Dilong 地龍 (Earth Dragon).

While Shenlong governs the wind, storms, and rainfall from the sky to ensure us bountiful harvests, Dilong is its feminine subterranean counterpart and controller of Earth’s water streams—from waterfalls to river currents through to the high seas. As legend has it, they can be both sacred protectors and benevolent beings that bring forth blessings, and creatures capable of unleashing adverse conditions if offended.

The music within is a tribute to these majestic beings and the imagined celestial and terrestrial beauty in which they inhabit.
