In China, red has a meaning or suggestion of luck and happiness. Every time when essential festivals arrive, especially Spring Festival, the whole country is covered by red, from the decoration of buildings and houses to people’s clothes. As a practice on Spring Festival, the Chinese people would like to post a big red Chinese character “福”，meaning Luck, on the door of their house, hoping that luck and happiness can come home.
In fact, Dragon doesn’t exist in the reality but was created by ancient Chinese people. They gave full play to their imagination and finally created such an amazing creature made up of various parts of other animals’, like the head of a camel, the horns of a deer, the eyes of a rabbit, the ears of a bull, the neck and body of a snake, the belly of a kind of huge clam, the scales of a carp, the claws of a hawk, the palm of a tiger etc. It always carries a pearl and brings people good luck.
