N2 - Dragon King (龍王) is a name of a deity or a number of deities of the Chinese folksy religion. These deities are closely connected with the element of water and have emerged in the major association with Buddhist and Taoist beliefs, which have influenced the Dragon King’s cult a lot.

The paper covers the main stages of development of Dragon King’s worship, traces its main connections with orthodox Buddhist and Taoist concepts and illustrates the peculiarities of the final pattern with the samples from pieces of the classical Chinese literature.

The main conclusion of the paper can be formula
