Yuyuan Garden/ Shanghai: Under the chin of the dragons on the wall sits a frog looking creature with a forked tongue.
My Shanghai tourguide told me that the frog is tickling the dragon and that's why after sneezing, the dragons lost the pearl of wisdom. Is this explanation true? Wo knows more about the meaning of the frog?
