The Background to the Zodiac Sign of the Year of Dragon

Let us examine the legend around the “Dragon” zodiac sign.

According to legend, the Jade Emperor, who was the ruler of heaven in Chinese mythology, decided to create a zodiac system to help keep track of time.
He selected twelve animals to represent each year in a twelve-year cycle, and the order in which the animals were chosen would determine the order of the zodiac.
The dragon was not originally included in the zodiac system. However, one day, a dragon came to the Jade Emperor and asked to be included.
The Jade Emperor was impressed by the dragon’s majestic appearance and granted its request, making the dragon the fifth animal in the zodiac cycle.
The dragon is considered to be the most powerful and auspicious of all the zodiac animals, and those born in the year of the dragon are believed to be ambitious, courageous, and successful.
