Dragons(龙) are not real animals, but look like a combination(组合体)of many animals such as snakes, fish and deer. With fantastic powers, they fly in the sky or swim in the sea. They can make rain, too. The Chinese dragon is a symbol of power and good luck. The emperors of ancient China loved dragons. Their clothes were covered with pictures of dragons.
We are proud to call ourselves the “descendants of the dragon”. In Chinese culture, excellent and successful people are often called “dragons”. That’s why Chinese parents always want their children to be “dragons”.
There are also some traditional festivals about dragons in China, such Dragon Head-Raising Day and Dragon Boat Festival. We have different kinds of activities to celebrate them.
