China is the most populous country in the world.Wherever there are Chinese people, there are "dragons" regarded as mascots.For over 2,000 years, the dragon has turned from a symbol of deity, emperor and imperial power into a symbol of the rising Chinese nation.The Dragon Dance , accordingly, has been elevated from asking for God and rain to expressing people's courage, pride and wisdom.

　　中国是世界上人口众多的国家。哪里有中国人，哪里就有被视为吉祥物的“龙”。2000多年来，龙已经从神的象征，皇帝和皇权的象征转变成中华民族的象征。据说，舞龙已经从请求上帝降雨转变成了人们表达勇气，骄傲和智慧的方式了。
