The revered Dragon is the most iconic of the twelve Chinese Zodiac animals. If you get the chance to visit Asia particularly China you will see that the Dragon appears everywhere, in the temples, villages, cities, homes and even in high rise buildings. We even name ourselves after the Dragon such as Bruce Lee (Little Dragon) and Jacky Chan (Successful Dragon). Even business owners love to use the Dragon in their business names such as Dragon Pearl Chinese restaurant, The Golden Dragon Jeweler and the list goes on and on.
Over thousands of years ago, the Dragon is a legendary animal and is a symbol of an emperor in China. The Dragon motif symbolises protection, strength, power, fortune and fertility. The mighty Dragon is depicted to soar meandering clouds, signifying the promise of never-ending prosperity.
This year we are overseeing the Water Dragon. The manifestation of the water element in this dragon is here to supervise the weather pattern and water for the world. The dragon is watching over all the important water sources and ensuring abundant harvest for the farmers.
So let’s celebrate the year of the dragon and I wish you all success and in good health for the New Year 2012.
Kung Hei Fat Choy!
恭喜發財
Chúc mừng năm mới!
