WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF DRAGONS IN CHINESE MYTHOLOGY?
Dragons, the sign of the Emperor and the male element Yang, have long been a potent symbol of auspicious power in Chinese folklore and art. Dragons are associated with strength, health, harmony, and good luck; they are placed above doors or on rooftops to banish demons and evil spirits. Within Chinese cultures, more babies are born in Dragon years than in any other animal year. The dragon is the only mythical creature in the Chinese zodiac. Those born under the dragon sign are said to be flamboyant, attractive and full of vitality and strength. |
