Yazi

Dragon Son of War

Warlike dragon son carved on sword hilts, source of the phrase for petty vengeance.

Yazi, the warlike son of the dragon, loves slaughter, so ancient artisans carved his image at the throat of swords and knives to lend them menace. From his furious gaze comes the idiom “even a stare must be avenged,” describing a temper that forgives nothing — the dragon’s anger kept at the hilt.
