The Chinese Lunar Calendar, or Zodiac, follows a 12-year cycle featuring a different animal for each year. Though the animals follow a 12-year appearance cycle, there is actually a 60-year cycle within the Zodiac that sees each individual animal appear in different forms representing the elements of the world: wood, fire, Earth, metal, and water.

The Chinese dragon is one of the most important figures in Chinese mythology and culture. In Feng Shui, the dragon is a powerful symbol of protection and prosperity. Dragon figurines or images are often used in Feng Shui to enhance positive energy in a space.
Chinese dragons are often depicted holding or chasing a pearl, which symbolizes wisdom, enlightenment, and spiritual energy. This pearl is sometimes referred to as the “Flaming Pearl.” Dragons can be found in various forms of Chinese art and architecture, from intricate carvings on temples to painted depictions in traditional Chinese paintings.
