Dragons are well-respected by Chinese tradition, encouraging emperors in ancient times to refer to themselves as a dragon. Many myths speak of the dragon that sieged a whole town and couldn't be conquered. The dragon is the only animal that represents power, good fortune, luck, and success all in one. Those born under the dragon have integrity, do not participate in gossip or slander, and have a positive energy about them. Of course with the strengths come the weaknesses. Like how the dragon breathes fire, the person born under the year of the dragon is known to have a fiery temper when crossed. Being the most iconic symbol of the Chinese culture, the dragon represents prosperity in a time of famine. When given as a gift, the dragon symbolizes good fortune for that recipient. Wish good fortune on a loved one or even your own silver collection and buy the silver dragon before supply runs dry!
