The revered
Dragon is the most iconic of the twelve Chinese Zodiac animals. If you get the
chance to visit Asia particularly China you will see that the Dragon appears
everywhere, in the temples, villages, cities, homes and even in high rise
buildings. We even name ourselves after the Dragon such as Bruce Lee (Little
Dragon) and Jacky Chan (Successful Dragon). Even business owners love to use the
Dragon in their business names such as Dragon Pearl Chinese restaurant, The
Golden Dragon Jeweler and the list goes on and on.
Over thousands of
years ago, the Dragon is a legendary animal and is a symbol of an emperor in
China. The Dragon motif symbolises protection, strength, power, fortune and
fertility. The mighty Dragon is depicted to soar meandering clouds, signifying
the promise of never-ending prosperity.
This year we are overseeing the Water Dragon. The
manifestation of the water element in this dragon is here to supervise the
weather pattern and water for the world. The dragon is watching over all the
important water sources and ensuring abundant harvest for the farmers.
So let’s celebrate the year of the dragon and I wish you all success and
in good health for the New Year 2012.
Kung Hei Fat Choy!
恭喜發財
Chúc mừng năm mới!
Chúc mừng năm mới!
