Every country has its typical animals. Some animals can even stand for the country. So which animal can best stand for China Maybe you would say the panda because it is Chinese national treasure. But there is another animal that can really represent(代表）China and even Chinese culture-the dragon. Although nobody knows if there is a dragon in the world, it has been regarded as the symbol of China for thousands of years. What’s more, there are many descriptions(说明）of dragons in Chinese history.
The dragon is the symbol of emperor in ancient times, and the dragon is great, because it gets the respect of all the Chinese people. In China, the dragon is an amazing animal. Even now we call ourselves descendants of the dragon, and we are proud of it. But in western countries, people have different ideas about the dragon. They think it is a terrible animal like a huge snake, and it's not positive and beautiful.
