The title of this book is taken from a poem by the Chinese poet Li Ho. It is the title given to a poem in the English language translation The Poems of Li Ho 791 - 817 (Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1970), Translated with an Introduction by J.D. Frodsham. In parts of ancient China the singing of dragons was thought to be propitious and could be imitated by certain monks striking copper bowls. Li Ho uses dragons to stand for great poets of the past.
