The Loong 龙的故事
作者: 任轩玉
The loong is a special creature that was born in China long ago. It has features from many animals, like the camel, deer, snake, fish, and eagle. People believe the loong is very powerful in nature.
Unlike other dragons, the loong is a symbol of good luck. In ancient times, it symbolized power and royal authority(皇权). Today, it represents the “Spirit of China” and our Chinese people proudly call ourselves “the descendants of the loong(龙的传人)”.
In my hometown, Zhenjiang, we can watch colourful loong dances during festivals. The “loong” rolls and twists, bringing good luck for everyone!
