Who is the Dragon King?

Taoism: The earliest saying is that the dragon king in the East China Sea is named Aoguang, the dragon king in the South China Sea is named Ao Ming, the dragon king in the West China Sea is named Aoshun, and the dragon king in the North China Sea is named Aoji, which is consistent with the list of gods.

There was a Four Seas Dragon King in Taoism in the Han Dynasty, which could cause rainfall. Some people say that because dragons are a local religion, Taoist dragons are more like China, more secular than Buddhist dragons, and more suitable for the psychology of China people.
