ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Dragon (zodiac)

Okay kiddo, have you heard of the Chinese zodiac? It's a way to talk about the years and the animals that represent them. Each year is associated with one of 12 animals, just like our months are associated with different seasons.

Now, the dragon is one of these animals. It's a very special animal in Chinese culture because it's believed to be very powerful and lucky. People born in the year of the dragon are said to be strong, confident, and adventurous.

But wait, what does a dragon look like? Well, in Chinese culture, a dragon is a long, serpentine creature with four legs and sometimes wings. They can breathe fire or control the weather with their powers. And even though they're sometimes scary, they're actually seen as protectors and bringers of good fortune.

So if you're ever asked what your Chinese zodiac sign is and it happens to be the dragon, you can proudly say that you're a symbol of strength, luck, and adventure!
