Get to know the dragon! The Chinese New Year 2024 begins on 10 February and ushers in the Year of the Dragon, the fifth symbol of the Chinese zodiac. The dragon is a special sign because it is the only imaginary animal in the Chinese calendar. There are actually five dragons: Metal, Earth, Fire, Water, and Wood. At UGears, we are particularly excited that 2024 is the year of the Wood Dragon, an event that only occurs every sixty years! Dragons are considered energetic, creative, diplomatic, and born leaders. As wood dragons are associated with a living element, they are capable of significant growth, resulting in a rich abundance of all dragon qualities.

As a symbol of the emperor and the power of the empire, dragon statues could be found in China almost 8000 years ago. Unlike European dragons, which are seen as fearsome monsters to be fought, Chinese dragons are associated with prosperity and good fortune. They are often depicted with a flaming pearl between their teeth or in their claws, a symbol of universal Qi, the source of all energy and creation. In addition, the pearl symbolizes wisdom, spiritual power, and immortality. Because of these favorable and sought-after qualities, more children are born under the sign of the dragon than under the other signs in countries that follow the Chinese calendar!
