Collection: Chinese Zodiac,12 Animal Signs-The Origin Story of the Dragon,8trigrams

The Origin of the Dragon in Chinese Zodiac
According to legend, when the Jade Emperor organized the Great Race to select the 12 zodiac animals, the powerful Dragon could have flown directly to finish first. However, it detoured to bring rain to drought-stricken villages and stopped to help the Rabbit cross a river. These acts of kindness made it arrive fifth. The Dragon's compassion became its defining trait, explaining why dragon years bring prosperity. In Chinese culture, the Dragon represents nobility, a success and benevolent power rather than Western-style destruction.

The Dragon forms a "Triangle Harmony" with the Rat and Monkey—this trio enhances wisdom and opportunities for career success. Its "Perfect Match" is the Rooster, where the Dragon's boldness complements the Rooster's precision. Traditionally:

Dragon+Rat: Power combo for wealth
Dragon+Monkey: Innovation booster
Dragon+Rooster: Ideal love/marriage
Avoid clashes with the Dog to maximize luck.
