Chinese Roof Ornament---Dragon Head

Dragon Head is installed on the both ends of the main ridge, and its mouth is towards the main ridge. It looks like the dragon is swallowing the ridge.

It is said the dragons can spit cloud and rain. Installing the dragon head on the roof can protect the house from fire.

Arrow is installed on the top of dragon head. It is said the dragon head is toward outside originally.

One day, it gets its path to immortality and turns round to swallow the roof ridge. One taoist sees it, he throws his sword to stick the dragon head in the ridge. The dragon is very angry, so it comes out from the back. Hence, the dragon head has the arrow and back beast.
