Chinese Dragon is a powerful symbol of success, good fortune and is known for guarding from the evil spirits. Magnificent images of dragons are generally depcted in a mystical serpentine shape. The dragon's body is known to be the representation of nine earthly species from land, water and air: head of a camel, horns of a deer, eyes of a hare, ears of a cow, neck of a snake, scales of a carp, belly of a frog, legs and claws of an eagle, and paws of a tiger. The image of the dragon is often seen holding a pearl in its claw. The pearl is said to symbolize wisdom and great achievement.

The dragon represents yang, a symbol of male vigor and fertility. Many images of the dragon are seen paired with the phoenix; the dragon as a symbol of male and the phoenix as female, together, is an auspicious sign of good marriage. The dragon's place is in the East, the direction of sunrise, where it is symbolically associated with beginning of life or beginning of a life cycle. It is believed that the dragon has the power to control the wind, clouds and train. In ancient times, when the agriculture was the most important way of sustaining life, the dragon was regarded as the god of rain.

The Chinese Dragon is a symbol of many good things in life: goodness of Mother Nature as life-giving, abundance and prosperity, attainment of a great success, protection from unfavourable spirits and events in life, wisdom and courage, loyalty, strong self-esteem, happy marriage and lasting love.
