- unwind 3y agoWikipedia [1] has some more details, but not too many on the main page itself. Also from the top of that page I learned that "Loongson" means "Dragon Core" which to me as a westerner makes it sound very clearly Chinese (because dragons) but also a lot cooler (because ... dragons!). Nice. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loongson#LoongArch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loongson#LoongArch

- Jeff_Brown 3y agoAssociating China with dragons seems like such a lucky PR win to me. How many countries are, outside of that country, associated with any mascot at all, let alone such a badass one? Also it seems appropriate that the Western concept of a dragon is much less friendly than the Chinese one -- at least, judging from the dances.

- wuxb 3y agoChinese dragon = snake with four legs. It can fly (magically). Western dragon = dino with wings. It can fly. They're unrelated things. A Chinese dragon is more like a unicorn than a western dragon.
