How many claws does a dragon have?

The dragon has three claws, four claws and five claws.

2. The dragon symbolizes the emperor. The rulers of each dynasty in ancient China had different ideas, and the number of claws of dragons was different in different periods.

During the Tang Dynasty, Japan and China frequently exchanged visits, learned a lot about China culture and promoted Japan's social progress. For example, Japanese traditional architecture and traditional costumes are exactly what China looked like in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, dragons in China were all three-clawed dragons, so the Japanese could only introduce three-clawed dragons from China. After the four-claw dragon appeared in China, it had already closed its doors and cut off its ties with Japan. Korea was called Korea in ancient times before the end of Qing Dynasty, so the dragon in Korea can only have four claws.
