A decorative artifact in the
shape of a Chinese dragon was unearthed from an ancient bury
site
According to Daoist theory, each nation has
its unique collective roots in other spaces, and a nation's
earthly presence is just the tip of its entire existence
in the universe. Chinese Dragons (龍) belong to a completely
different spices from the beasts presented in the Western
mythology - they reside in a dimension higher than the one
humans dwell and act as invisible guides and guards for their
associated civilization.
Coincidentally, the logo of China's moon exploration
program bears similar graphic configuration to the ancient
artifact.
Sound of Dragon
Chinese President Hu
Jintao celebrated the coming of the Chinese Dragon

Old Chinese Tradition:
share the happy occasions and face the challenges together
The entire members in a village in Chongqing share
their New Year's Eve dinner together
White Rabbit (辛卯，year
2011):
I love peace, fancy harmony, keep silent, swallow
insult, be nice to everybody and serve the whole jungle
community, but I
am hunted by all big beasts and small animals. I'm
the favourite target of the predators and the popular punching
bag for unhappy folks. Now I'm retired from my job and
you are in for the position, hope you don't end up like
me.
Black Dragon (壬辰，
year 2012):
That won't happen, you can rest assured. For
one thing, no one can hunt me down, because I'm not going
to make
myself foolishly transparent in this space. For another,
no one can blackmail me, because I don't have many little
rabbits and preserved carrots in countless rabbit
holes located in the wolf's lairs and tiger's caves.
