Mighty dragon
The dragon holds a unique place in the Chinese zodiac and folklore. For thousands of years, it was associated with the emperor and his descendants, symbolising wisdom, enlightenment, and benevolence. Said to control the elements, and thus provide rain for good harvests, the dragon was also associated with prosperity and good fortune.
The only mythical creature to be represented in the lunar zodiac, the mighty dragon is said to bestow bravery, persistence, ambition and intelligence on those born under its influence.
