Symbols and pictures of dragons are very common in China，so the animal is common in Chinese art and history. It is not just one dragon. 1. The Chinese love dragons.
Chinese dragons can be terrible or kind. Chinese dragons often have to do with water. It is said that when the dragon comes，the wind and the rain come with it. 2. However，sometimes the dragons are terrible because they bring storms. Every year at the Spring Festival，also known as the Chinese New Year，the dragons are dancers! At this time，they are kind animals driving away bad luck and bringing good luck.
In ancient China，people did the dragon dance to bring more rain. 3. During the Spring Festival，there is a parade(游行)with the dragon dance. Some strong dancers hold up a big dragon by using poles(杆子). Most dragons are red and they can be hundreds of feet long!
In the parade，one person takes the dragon's head. Behind the head，other dancers take other parts of the dragons following him. They take the dragon through the city's streets. The dancers wear clothing with the same color as the dragon. This makes their legs look like the legs of the dragon. As the head moves up and down，so does the dragon. 4. People along the streets watch and cheer as the dragon dances.
There is also a fire dragon dancing at night. Inside the fire dragon are candles. The skin of the dragon is thin cloth or paper，so people can see the fire through the skin. 5.
