It was referred to something about the emperor, such as, the royal court was called dragon court, the imperial robe was called dragon robe, the son of the emperor was call dragon son, the face of the emperor was called dragon face, emperor’s head was calle d dragon head…very interesting. S ome Chinese people even take the character of dragon (Lóng) as their family name; nearly all the Chinese parents hope their sons become dragons (means become a useful person) when they grow up and possess the energetic, decisive, optimistic, intelligent and ambitious like the dragon.
Dragon has been comparable as the symbol of the Chinese nationality itself from time immemorial. Currently, the Chinese people around the world proudly proclaim themselves the “Descendents of the Dragon”. But now when people mention the Chinese dragon it is usually associated with China and the Chinese culture.

My opinion is that more and more common ideas and values are being shared by all nations with the process of globalization,these values may include liberty,safety,prosperity,equality,fraternity and so on,even though,it is still a question to what extent these ideas are accepted,or how they are reevaluated,under a pure oriental background.I do not suggest that one cultural system is superior,or inferior than the other,but there does exist something that deeply rooted within the mind of Chinese,as well as that of Anglo-Saxon as a whole,even the

This is clearly different in China where a country is placed above your own self. From the affect point of view, Chinese emotional expression is subtle but not directly. On the contrary, westerners express more enthusiastic. Furthermore, the Chinese people do not say yes or no, they are more accustomed to tactfully convey his meaning. No doubt, the Westerners would like to directly deliver how they think and what they want.
