Dragon cultures live not only in the eastern world but also live in the western world. However, the western dragons look very different from the Chine se ones. In ancient China, empero rs thought they were real dragons. A dragon was a symbol of imperial power.
In China, there were many stories, plays, music, paintings about dragons and so on. Now, the names of mountains, rivers and places with dragons are countless in China. Also we can call a year “the year of the dragon”. In south of China, the Dragon Boat Festival is an important festival.
Nowadays, a dragon no longer stands for imperial power, It has become the symbol of the Chinese nation. However, people still believe it can bring them good luck.
