What does the year of the dragon symbolize….

In Chinese mythology, the dragon is a revered creature, often associated with power, strength, and good fortune. Unlike the dragons of Western folklore, Chinese dragons are typically depicted as benevolent beings, bringing rain for the crops and protecting people from harm.

The year of the dragon is considered particularly auspicious in Chinese culture, believed to bring prosperity, success, and happiness. People born in the year of the dragon are thought to inherit the dragon’s positive traits, such as leadership, courage, and ambition.
