What the Dragon symbolizes and how to use this symbol to enhance your Feng Shui:

In Chinese culture and Feng Shui, the dragon is the most auspicious and magnificent, mightiest, and most sacred of all creatures, and to be treated with great respect. Through generations, the dragon has been the ultimate symbol of power, abundance, good luck, and honor.
