Dragons are not real animals, but look like a combination (结合体) of many animals such as snakes, fish and deer. They have two horns (角) and a long moustache (胡子). With fantastic power, they fly in the sky or swim in the sea. They can make rain, too. The Chinese dragon is a symbol of strength and good luck. The emperors of ancient China loved dragons. Their clothes were covered with pictures of dragons.
We are proud to call ourselves the “descendants (传人) of the dragon”. In Chinese, “excellent” people are often called “dragons”. A number of Chinese sayings and idioms talk about dragons, for example, “Hoping_one's_child_will_become_a_dragon.” which means hoping he or she will be successful.
It is said that people born in the Year of the Dragon have certain characteristics. They are creative, confident, brave and quick-tempered. There are some famous “dra gons” who have done excellent things, for example, the great man Deng Xiaoping, the famous businessman Li Jiacheng and the movie star Zhao Wei. They are all very successful.
There are also some traditional festivals about dragons in China, such as Dragon Head Raising Day and Dragon Boat Festival. We have different kinds of activities to celebrate them. These two festivals come every year, but the Year of the Dragon comes every twelve years.
The dragon is very important in Chinese culture. As the “descendants of the dragon”， it is necessary for us to know the views on dragons in our culture. It can help us understand why our parents always want us to be “dragons”.
2013 is the Year of the Dragon. Good luck to you!

Generally, Chinese scripts (字体) have five categories(种类)： The seal charater(Zhuang), the official script (Li), the regular script (Kai), the running hand(Xing) and the cursive hand (Cao).
To produce Chinese characters, one will need a brush, a paper, ink and ink stone. They are called the “Four Treasures of the Study”. To learn calligraphy, it is necessary to learn about these tools.
White-goat-hair, black-rabbit-hair and yellow-weasel-hair brushes are the main ones. Brush handles are usually made of bamboo. The ink stick is a special pigment(颜料) used for Chinese traditional painting and calligraphy. The most famous ink stick is Hui Mo, made of pines that grow on Huangshan Mountain in Anhui Province. Xuan paper, produced in Xuanzhou (today’s Anhui Province), is said to be the best for Chinese calligraphy. Ink stones have three categories: Duan, She and Tao. Although the stone is hard and fine, it is not dry or slippery. Using this kind of stone, liquid ink can be produced easily.
By using the four tools well, the artist can produce kinds of calligraphic styles and forms.
Chinese calligraphy is even accepted by the West. Once Picasso said, “If I had been born Chinese, I would have been a calligraphy, not a painter. ”
