2024 is the Year of the Dragon in the Chinese zodiac. The dragon is one of the representative totems of Chinese civilization. In Chinese culture, the dragon is a symbol of auspiciousness, authority and rarity. There are many idioms about dragons in Chinese, such as the spirit of dragon and horse, the auspiciousness of dragon and phoenix, the hope that the child will become a dragon, the finishing touch, the fish leaping over the dragon gate, etc. I hope these idioms can inspire everyone to keep making progress in the new year. I wish you a prosperous work and life in the Year of the Dragon! (Mo Hong'e)
