Mr. Li Zehou believes that the Han Dynasty was the true shaping period of the jade dragon design, reaching an unprecedented height in form. The overall style of Han Dynasty art is profound and elegant. On the basis of the free and unrestrained, vibrant, and diverse postures of the Warring States period, the Han Dynasty jade dragon also presents a noble and powerful posture, a momentum of ups and downs, and a vivid charm. He also said that during the Han Dynasty, jade dragons began to appear with limbs that resembled beasts, with densely arranged hairline markings on the joints of the limbs representing leg hair. Dragon claws are mostly spherical in shape, usually with three claws. Their long tails are rolled up and often forked, with a few wings appearing on their bodies. They are called Yinglong. The head is longer and the eyes are mostly red phoenix shaped. The eyelid area is mostly marked by a double yin and yang line, with elongated eye tips. The dragon's eye is slightly convex, the mouth is wide open, and the mouth is shaped like an axe. A sharp tooth is carved from the top and bottom, with some parts showing a tongue like shape. Cloud shaped ears, some jade dragons have long and forked horns.
