It is said that people born in the year of the dragon have certain characteristics ( 特 征 ).
They are creative, confident, brave and quick-tempered ( 性 急 的 ) . They are some famous "dragons" who have done excellent things, for example, the great man Deng Xiaoping, the famous businessman Li Jiacheng and so on. They are all very successful.
There are also some traditional festivals about dragons in China, such as Dragon Head-Raising Day and Dragon Boat Festival. We have different kinds of activities to celebrate them. These two festivals come every year, but the Year of the Dragon comes every twelve years.
