“Everything is in transformation… There is nopossible[stereotypical]model”(I Ching，易经)rn The dragon represents a concentration of energy.Strongly associated with water and merging with clouds and mists,the dragon’s energy is diffused through space.A dragon has no fixed form and is constantly evolving.It represents an ongoing process of transformation with the auspicious potential to reach beyond itself.It symbolises the powers with which a form，such as a city,can be changed.A dragon symbolises efficacy,or strategy effective through variation：the antithesis of rigid,mechanical practice.As dulfien(2004b：97)suggests，'strategic intentionality should have no fixed goal，is fixed in no particular plan，and so can adapt to every twist in the situation'.
