Dragons can be friendly or fierce (凶猛的).They can bring good luck or cause death, but one thing is sure—people talk about them almost everywhere in the world.

In Chinese culture, dragons are generous and wise, although they can be unpredictable.The dragon was closely connected to the royal family:the emperor's robes (礼服) have a symbol of a gold dragon with five claws.Other members of the royal family were allowed to wear dragon symbols, too, but with fewer claws and of a different colour.According to popular belief, if you are born in the year of the dragon, you are intelligent, brave, and a natural leader.

But in the west, dragons have a different reputation (名声).The very first text in English, the Anglo?Saxon poem Beowulf, tells the story of a Scandinavian hero, Beowulf, who fights and kills a dangerous dragon but he himself is killed in the fight.However, across the border in Wales, the red dragon which appears on the Welsh flag is a positive (积极的) symbol, indicating strength and a sense of national identity.

Why_should_the_dragon_have_a_different_character_in_different_parts_of_the_world? Some experts believe it is because of the animals that the myths(神话) grew out of.In the west, the idea of the dragon probably came from the snake—an animal which people hated and were afraid of(害怕).

But in China, the idea of the dragon may have come from the alligator—a shy animal which lives in rivers, but which is usually only seen when there is plenty of water—a good sign for agriculture(农业).②因此中国龙是好运的使者(bringer)。
