Chinese Culture and Symbolism





I am learning about Chinese culture so that I can teach LongQi when she comes home. The Chinese believe in good luck, fortune, and prosperity. I am Irish so our cultures have that in common. I believe in the "Luck of the Irish." The Dragon is considered one of the luckiest symbols. I was dreaming about Dragons a few weeks ago. Perhaps, because I watched an itunes travel video podcast called the "Coolest Stuff on the Planet" about China's Spring Festival aka Chinese New Year which featured a large dancing dragon. They also have a create video podcast on the Great Wall. Check it out on itunes or at: http://www.howstuffworks.com/
