The Vietnamese dragon ({{langx|vi|rồng}}) was a mythical creature that was often used as a deity symbol and was associated with royalty.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.vietnam-culture.com/articles-221-34/Tale-of-Vietnamese-Dragon.aspx|title=Tale of Vietnamese Dragon|date=4 February 2014|access-date=23 February 2021|archive-date=2 March 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210302081526/https://www.vietnam-culture.com/articles-221-34/Tale-of-Vietnamese-Dragon.aspx|url-status=live}}</ref>{{better source needed|date=November 2024}} Similar to other cultures, dragons in Vietnamese culture represent yang and godly beings associated with creation and life. In the creation myth of the [[Vietnamese people]], they are descended from the dragon lord [[Lạc Long Quân]] and the fairy [[Âu Cơ]], who bore 100 eggs.  When they separated, Lạc Long Quân brought 50 children to the sea while Âu Cơ brought the rest up the mountains. To this day, Vietnamese people often describe themselves as "Children of the dragon, grandchildren of the fairy" (''Con rồng cháu tiên'').<ref>{{cite book|chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=aPQfqQB_7K0C&pg=PA91|title=Viêt Nam Exposé: French Scholarship on Twentieth-century Vietnamese Society|editor-last1=Bousquet|editor-first1= Gisèle|editor-last2=Brocheux|editor-first2=Pierre|pages=91|publisher=University of Michigan Press|year=2002|chapter=Rethinking the Status of Vietnamese Women in Folklore and Oral History|author=Nguyen Van Ky|isbn=0-472-06805-9 }}</ref>
