The only real dragon is the dragonfly.
I guess the chinese temples have images of dragons because this creature is a symbol of the basic elements: earth (because it lives in caves or underground), air (because it flies), fire (because it blows fire through its nose/mouth), water (seldom it is considered to live underwater, or related to the rain).
So it is a symbol of the whole, of the universe. Therefore, he can also symbolize the absolute power and spiritual enhancement.
However, it is a demiurgic symbol. It is supposed to have played an essential role in the creation of the universe.
The flying dragons are the only way to get to heaven, and they are ridden by immortals.
In ancient China, the dragon also was a symbol of the emperor.
The dance of the dragon induces fertility and gains the benevolence of the nature.

I definately belive that dragons existed and doubtless nonetheless exist.
