Chinese Dragons are symbols of cosmic Chi (energy). It is said to be the most potent symbol of good fortune of the Chinese symbols. As one of the four creatures of the world’s directions, the Dragon stands for new beginnings. The Dragon also has the power to release water to parched lands allowing fields to grow and rivers to flow. These rivers drain into lakes and oceans where the dragon can once again draw the water up and over the land. Success, high achievement, and prosperity are also listed among the Dragon’s arsenal of good qualities, which make it one of the most popular of Asian signs.
