Summary

Description
English: Detail of the Nine Dragon Wall, Chinatown, Chicago. "A Nine-Dragon Wall or Nine-Dragon Screen (Chinese: 九龍壁, or 九龙壁) is a type of screen wall with reliefs of nine different Chinese dragons. Such walls are typically found in imperial Chinese palaces and gardens. Early reference to the tradition of putting a screen wall at the gate is found in the Analects of Confucius, 3:22: therein, it is mentioned as a trivial ritual norm ("The princes of States have a screen intercepting the view at their gates". 邦君樹塞門, trans. by James Legge)."
