Since there are twelve Chinese horoscope zodiac signs
each represented by an animal and each associated with one year of birth, year of the dragon is held every twelve years. In addition, each astrological animal associated with one of the five elements that are symbolic for the Chinese cosmogony of the universe. There will then
a dragon made of metal, a water, a wood, a fire and a dragon of the earth. The year known in the Christian calendar with the date of 2000 is represented by the Chinese horoscope dragon, metal (lung chin). The last year of the dragon metal was thus in 1940. That of the dragon is a lucky year, however, to fully enjoy its benefits you should take things calmly and patiently, paying attention to their health. The dragon of metal is stronger than the will: adamant, stubborn and combative, even at the cost of ignoring the feelings of others. It is useless to try to convince him that one thing you can do and if it fails to get support, will alone. After all it is to achieve a breakthrough because it refuses to accept failure. A similar lack of rules can encourage quick climb to positions of authority, but often at the cost of destroying important relationships. An old manual of astrology reports:
"People born in the year of dragon have received the gifts of health, energy, courage and intelligence. They speak sincerely and are honest. The dragon represents the greatest celestial power and, along with the tiger, has the most beneficial influence in the astrological sense. Symbolizes life and growth, the dragon is said to confer the following four blessings: virtue, wealth, harmony and longevity. Of all the signs, this is the most eccentric. Dragon people are great workers, but sometimes it takes for evil rather than good. Dragons are susceptible to flattery, angry, excitable and enormously stubborn, often avoid marriage, to deal with loneliness in old age. "
The sign of the dragon has excellent relations with the mouse, monkey and sometimes the snake, with a very bad sign of the dog.
Even today the dragons are shown in parades to celebrate the Chinese New Year, since it prevents the image of the evil spirits to haunt the new year. This is one of the most joyous events of the ancestral relationship between humans and dragons, and even if the dragon was not merely a figment of man and his imagination, no doubt we have to give the people reason that if you define Asian children, because the dragon became the father of fear and bodies, forces and fantasies of men, became their symbol, for better or for worse. A veil of mystery has always surrounded the dragons avvgerà and always there, but never stop looking for them and represent them, because myths are but fragments of the inner life of ancient man and somehow know the dragon want to say about the man.
