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.
中國是世界上人口眾多的國家。哪里有中國人,哪里就有被視為吉祥物的“龍”。2000多年來,龍已經(jīng)從神的象征,皇帝和皇權的象征轉變成中華民族的象征。據(jù)說,舞龍已經(jīng)從請求上帝降雨轉變成了人們表達勇氣,驕傲和智慧的方式了。
