There are several different kinds of dragon according to color, which may be yellow, blue, black, white or red.
Of these the most highly revered was the yellow one and so each emperor wore a gown decorated with a yellow dragon pattern.
Although there are differences in appearance, the basics are similar. This is because it is a combination
of the features of animals with which people were familiar.
Dragon dance is a popular entertainment performed during the period from Spring Festival until the Lantern Festival.
Chinese people play dragon dance to pray that they will have a good harvest and spend the year safely. It's a very
important occasion. Therefore, all players wear formal costumes to show their serious attitudes and sincerity.
Other auspicious animals like Phoenix, lion, and Kylin are the most revered animals of ancient China. They
are as the roof ridge animals of Chinese architecture to protect and bring good luck to people.
