The dragon is considered the most powerful symbol. It's the only symbol that is not a real animal and has mystical qualities. In China, many people want children who embody Dragon traits, and births in China rise by about 5% in Dragon years.

龙被认为是最强大的象征。在12生肖中，它是唯一一个非真实的而且具有神秘特征的年份图腾。在中国，许多人都希望孩子们具备龙的个性，龙年的出生率会增加5%。

Likewise, it is a good year to give birth to a new business.
