In Chinese culture, dragons symbolize power, wisdom, and good fortune. Unlike European dragons, they are seen as protectors and bringers of prosperity. The flaming pearl often shown in their claws represents Qi—universal energy—as well as spiritual strength and immortality. Dragon years see a spike in births due to the sign’s positive traits.
