Several oriental legends talk about the origin of the dragon. In Chinese folklore, the dragon is a benevolent creature with the power of controlling rains, floods and even hurricanes. Therefore, it is a symbol that transmits power, strength and good luck.

the image of the dragon has also been used with authoritative power, and this tradition began in the Han Dinasty (206 bC – 220 aC), symbolizing abundance, luck, prosperity and fortune.

Maybe you didn’t imagine that such an imponent and scary creature brought such great things, right? After all, this is not the impression we have in the Western World.

besides bringing fortune and luck, the dragon is also considered one of the four Celestial Guardians, representing the East and the wood.

Its figure is so important in Chinese Culture that the Dragon is one of the 12 animals representing the lunar calendar in Chinese mitology. Being born in the Year of the Dragon brings luck, happiness and a long life.
