From Luke, Leo, and all the team at Everything Dragon, we wish our cherished readers a prosperous and joyful Chinese New Year of the Wood Dragon. As we step into 2024, we embrace the strength, wisdom, and mystique of the Dragon, a symbol of luck and power in Chinese culture.
The Dragon is the only mythical creature in the Chinese Zodiac, representing authority, fortune, and auspiciousness. It is said that those born in the Year of the Dragon embody its spirited, ambitious, and charismatic nature. Interestingly, years of the Dragon often see significant spikes in birth rates in regions influenced by the Chinese Zodiac, as Dragon babies are believed to lead successful and fortunate lives.
