In Asian culture, Dragon is the most desirable born years of people, since the Dragon are believed to bring luck, strength, nobility, royalty, wisdom and promising future. Vietnam is not an exception. Moreover, the Dragon always ranks a little bit higher than the other animals, since it has been the symbol of royal family for thousands of year because the Emperors believed that Dragon can protect their thrones and families with its fearsome strength and abilities.
Year 2012 marks the reign of the legendary Dragon and the fifth animal in the Zodiac series on the Lunar calendar. So, it’s hoped to bring fortune for people – promotion, wealth, health, properties, good marriages and new children. Just a creature out of imagination, Dragon is considered the best born year that a child can have, especially boys. This belief derives from the Asian belief that dragon do exist and live in the sky among the clouds – the nearest place on Earth from heaven.
