Dragon Claws
Have you ever noticed that "Dragon" might have three, four, or even five claws in Chinese paintings, wall murals, and Ancient Chinese Emperors attire? I didn't know until I visited China this year.
I learned that the Dragons with five claws represents solely for Emperor / King status. The four claws was for imperial nobility and certain high ranking officials and the three claws was for lower ranks nobility, officials, and local citizens.
