What is the meaning of the Dragon?
In the Chinese zodiac calendar, the Year of the Dragon is the fifth animal out of 12.
According to Chen Yang, a Chinese culture and philosophy professor at George Washington University, “a dragon in China is a spirit, a symbol.” This was previously said to USA TODAY. “The dragon is a well-known mascot.” He says that the dragon has stood for power, justice, wealth, and good fortune throughout Chinese history.
According to Yang, those who were born in the year of the dragon are viewed as charming, clever, self-assured, strong, fortunate, and talented.
Twelve animal signs make up the Chinese zodiac, and each sign is matched with an element. Wood is the element for the forthcoming Year of the Dragon. The United States Postal Service stated in a press release marketing a Lunar New Year stamp that Wood Dragons are accomplished, introverted leaders who are committed to their profession.
