Chiwen is the second son of the dragon. He looks like a lizard without a tail. With great sight, he is fond of gazing in the distance. It is believed that he has the ability to swallow fire and spray wave to cause rainfalls. Therefore, his image can always be found at the corners and ridges of a hall as well as on the roofs.
As he can control water and safeguard against fire hazards, he is always invited to protect the family who live in a geographical location that is susceptible to typhoon, flood, earthquake, forest fires, etc.
