THE DRAGON
The mystical dragon rears its ferocious, fire-breathing head in the Chinese calendar once every 12 years, its last appearance at the turn of the millennium. It’s the epitome of power, nobility and perseverance, tracing back to early Chinese mythology.
Countless Chinese dragon legends run through ancient Chinese history. Some say the dragon’s symbolic origins trace back to a mythical Chinese emperor thousands of years ago who conquered all other tribes and created the creature — with the eyes of a demon, the horns of a stag, the claws of an eagle, the neck of a snake and the tail of a scorpion.
The dragon, the guardian of the east, has become a symbol of the Chinese people and a symbol of luck and good fortune, said Paul Ng, a computer scientist-turned-international feng shui master who lives in Richmond Hill.
In Chinese astrology, the Year of the Dragon is by far the luckiest.
“With the dragon, there will be a lot of energy and excitement in the coming year,” said Ng.
Those born in the Year of the Dragon are expected to have long, healthy and wealthy lives. The Dragon will bring positive change, intensity and unpredictability in 2012, predicted Ng.
“Economically speaking, the world will do better. There will be prosperity. And here will be lots of change, many heads of state will change,” he said. “One thing is for sure, the world is not going to end.”
