The Chinese dragon has long been a symbol of auspiciousness, and has an irreplaceable position in the mind of Chinese people who often call themselves “descendants of the dragon”. During the feudal period, the dragon used to serve as a symbol of the emperor and imperial authority. In modern society, it has gradually become a mascot which signifies growth, success, hard work and creativity. Considered beautiful, friendly and filled with wisdom, the dragon is believed to be able to bring good luck to ordinary people and prosperity to the country. It also symbolizes the harmony between human society and nature.
