The ultimate symbol for cosmic energy (Chi) is said to be the ancient Chinese Dragons. It is the most powerful symbol of good luck and fortune in the Chinese culture. The Dragon is also one of the four creatures that guards the directions of the compass (or directory of the world). The Chinese Dragons guard the East side. They are also associated with Spring and this is said to be symbolic of new beginnings. They also have the power to provide water to dry lands, which is symbolic to abundance and relief.
The Chinese Dragons have an arsenal of good qualities: success, high achievement and prosperity. This makes them one of the most popular and powerful of the Asian symbols.
There is a piece of land that overlooks Hong Kong. This land is called the Kowloon, which translated means The Nine Dragons.
