In two weeks, we will celebrate the Chinese New Year. From the beginning of January, the festive atmosphere is becoming increasingly strong, and at night you can already hear firecrackers in the winter. In the suburbs of the city, colorful fireworks displays can be seen. On the 23rd of the Chinese lunar calendar, which is known as the "little new year" in many places, people start celebrating the upcoming new year.

2024 is the year of the dragon in Chinese New Year, and for China's long history and culture, the dragon is a special figure. In ancient China, emperors used to symbolize power with dragons, and they also represent strength and courage, as seen in the popular medieval U.S. drama "Game of Thrones". There are also common characteristics with Chinese dragon mythology, which is considered a symbol of divine power. In short, the dragon is a symbol of many good wishes in China, and many Chinese idioms associate it with positivity, blessings, and good luck.
