Did you know…
Chinese mythology attributes the creation of the first humans to Fu Xi—a legendary folk hero—depicted as having the body of a serpent and the head of a man or sometimes a lion. The Emperors were thought to be direct descendants of the dragons.
Every 12 years, the Chinese New Year falls on the Year of the Dragon. Some of the world’s most prominent figures were born on such years, including Martin Luther King (1929), Bruce Lee (1940) and Joan ofArc (1412)!
The Chinese Dragon is one of the most remarkable types among these legendary serpentine creatures. Depicted as a fierce fire-breathing beast with sharp talons and big teeth, it is, yet, a benevolent animal.
Dragons are closely linked to the forces of nature. While one should approach them with caution, dragons will reward righteousness with good fortune. They represent Emperors possessing supernatural wisdom,knowledge and power.
