[quote=LEONARDO,236870]Tomorrow is China's Dragon Boat Festival, which reminds me of the image of dragon. Dragon is considered as a devil in the western culture, wheras in the East, paticularly in China, it is worshipped as the symbol of grandeur and nobility. In ancient times, the emperor is compared to a dragon. The emperor's robe and chair are called " Long Pao" and " Long Yi" repectively. The robe and chair are embellished with the pattern of "Dragon". Now, the dragon is still worshipped as the forefather of Chinese. As a common saying goes among Chinese people, we are the descendents of Dragon. This saying demonstrates the distinguished status of Dragon in chinese culture. In the west , on the contrary, DRAGON symbolizes the evil. Timage of Dragon reflects the cultural difference between East and West. Can some westerners tell me more about what else " Dragon" symbolizes in your country？ I will appreciate.[/quote]
