In Ancient China they believed that the dragon was the ancestor of the emperors of the Celestial Empire. It was forbidden for anyone other than the imperial family to use the dragon symbol. Therefore, the dragon that adorns the architecture of the Yu Yuan Garden in Shanghai was called a “snake” in the Ming era.

In ancient times, it was believed that, thanks to their power and ambition, those born in the year of the dragon were able to control the entire world. And these days in China, anyone will tell you that future government leaders will definitely be born in this auspicious year. The previous Chinese Year of the Dragon occurred in 2012, and the next one is expected in 2024.

The dragon in China is the embodiment of both good and evil. Therefore, sometimes the blame for natural disasters falls on their scaly shoulders. They are considered responsible for high tides, floods and severe storms. Today in China you can visit temples built in honor of dragons.

The Snow Dragon appears in winter, it has snow-white scales and with its breath it creates snow and ice with which it covers the ground. The Snow Dragon symbolizes eternity, tranquility and teaches patience and wisdom.
