In Chinese culture, dragons are the most revered creatures (some even considered them the reincarnation of emperors of the Celestial Empire). Moreover, dragons are associated with wisdom, knowledge, strength, power, wealth, and prosperity in most people's minds.

According to Chinese beliefs, the Dragon embodies the Earth element (patience, thoughtfulness, practicality, hard work, stability). Its symbol is considered to be Wood (new beginnings, growth, progress, creativity, innovation).

People born in the year of the Dragon are generous, energetic, noble, wise, faithful, passionate, and determined.
