A Poem about the Dragon
I am an unquenchable fire,
The center of all energy,
The stout heroic heart.
I am truth and light,
I hold power and glory in my sway.
My presence
Disperses dark clouds.
I have been chosen
To tame the Fates.
I AM THE DRAGON.
Theodora Lau

The Dragon of 2012 is a Water Dragon
Water has a calming effect on the Dragon’s temperament. Water re-directs the Dragon’s enthusiasm, and increases his perceptive of others. These Dragons are excellent at taking a step back to re-evaluate a situation as they understand the art of patience and desire the spotlight less than other Dragons. They make smart decisions and are able to see eye-to-eye with other people.
The dragon used to be the symbol of the Chinese emperor. The emperors throne was called the “Dragon throne” and according to the Confucian ideal the whole earth should be influenced in a positive way by the shining example of the emperors life. People born in the Year of the Dragon are in good health, bursting with energy, long-living, easy to irritate, impatient and obstinate.

~ J.R.R Tolkien
Confucius and the Dragon
Confucius thought of Laozi, the founder of Taoism, as a dragon. It was said that he paid a special visit to Laozi in Luoyi. After he came back, he was excited and shouted: I see the dragon! Laozi’s expression and deep thought on life made him resemble a dragon.
It is said that two dragons fell from heaven and landed on the roof of the house when Confucius was born.
The Confucius Temple ranks with Beijing’s Forbidden City and the summer resort of Chengde as one of the three great classical architectural complexes in China.
The Hall of Great Achievements is the temple’s grandest building, its most striking feature being 28 stone pillars carved with bas-relief dragons, dating from around 1500. Each pillar has nine gorgeous dragons, coiling around clouds and pearls towards the roof. There is nothing comparable in the Forbidden City in Beijing, and when emperors came to visit, the columns were covered with yellow silk to prevent imperial jealousy.

The Year of the Dragon Baby Boom
What will make many couples happy around the world will be the ability to conceive a baby by Feb. 9, 2013.
