Animals have been considered lucky in Chinese antiques shop mentalities, folk lore for thousands of years. We should be aware the Chinese calendar breaks each of our personalities down into twelve types of animal, each who are to be seen in their more positive and powerful ways. First of all animals in Chinese life is the dragon. So dragons came to represent the ruler, men, the emperor himself. The dragon can always be seen in any Chinatown parade, as men under or inside the tubing that makes up the body of the dragon.
The dragons head is connected to the body and contains several walkers who are all holding their part of the light but very bulky dragon. There many dragons and different dragons rule parts of the earth, the oceans, and the heavens. Dragons represent the nation China. It seems likely that very early traders on the trading routes, even the Sokl Road, past the bones of now identified dinosaurs, mastedons. It does not take too much imagination that after a sack full of rice wine and the roar of a Siberian tiger in the twilight.
That could convince the bravest trader that the dragon was still alive and just beyond those hills.In real life one of the great rare joys of China is the Panda bear. Living in small enclaves the government has made protected areas for the few remaining pandas. There has until recent time been poaching of these gentle creatures for their body parts. This has mostly been stopped and many workers and volunteers care for any wounded or abandoned pup Pandas.
The Pandas are so endangered in their own native environment that many zoos around the world are trying to raise pandas to encourage their species survives. Fragile progress seems possible. In the legend of the dragon, the male groom is seen as a dragon, and this happiness pours over into a Chinese wedding ceremony. The bride is seen to be a phoenix, and these two gifts work their ways into gifts the two receive. The dragon has special powers and these are said to include the ability to rule over the five elements that rule over our fate.
When a dragon was angered, by legend usually by a corrupt official, he could cause earthquakes, which could mean a change in government and leaders.The names of animals and whether they sound lucky or happy has long been a way of naming animals in China. To our ears, the name of the Panda sounds soothing and pleasant. But many other words would not be the same. Bats in China are considered lucky and their name rhymes with some lucky word.It seems the bat is inscribed into many walls and edifices.
Also in the Chinese antiques shop mentality, the Monkey, in the south, took on legendary powers. There evolved The Monkey King, who ruled cleverly, more so than the other animals.
