On the Creation of the Year of the Loong's Spring Festival couplets

Zhu, a young student of Guangling Ancient Books Printing Society, introduced that the dragon is the cultural creation, cultural symbol and cultural hidden image with the widest origin, the most far-reaching influence and the strongest charm in the cultural capital of the Chinese nation. As early as thousands of years ago, ancestors began to look at dragon totems. In the young and splendid Chinese and Korean cultures, the dragon has always been hidden as a totem of the people, and ancient kings also called themselves "dragons".

In China people's minds, "dragon" has also become the meaning of wisdom, vitality, auspiciousness and creativity. Words related to "dragon", such as "dragon and phoenix are auspicious" and "freely", are also auspicious. Dragon culture has spread to all parts of the world except in China. The character and image of the dragon can be seen in Chinese settlements all over the world, which makes many foreigners feel this mysterious and outdated civilization. "Descendants of the Dragon" and "Descendants of the Dragon" have become synonymous with "China people".

This time, the seal cutting society and Southern Publishing House published this set of "Hundred Dragons Soaring" to commemorate the Year of the Loong in this special situation. In a conservative culture, dragons can also sneak into fields. "Bailong takes off" also means that China will take off.
