关于中国龙的故事(给说英语的外国小朋友)
In China, the dragon or loong
has been a symbol of unity for the Chinese people. The loong isn't
a "dragon" in the Western sense, but is actually a combination of
many different animals. Long ago, China was made up of many
competing tribes, each represented by an animal on their flag.
These tribes fought many times with each other, but soon realized
they would be better off working together and becoming one large
tribe. In an effort to work together, they decided they needed one
flag to unite them. The tribes chose to combine all the different
creatures from their flags to create the Loong; a creature with the
body of a snake, the paws of a tiger, the scales of a fish, head of
a horse, and the antlers of a deer. As such, the Loong shouldn't be
a creature that is feared, rather it is a symbol of peace and unity
for the Chinese culture. An easy way to remember that the Loong is
different than a dragon is to use the letters in the name. The "L"
represents the antlers or horns of the creature, the two "o"
letters can be thought of as the eyes of the creature, the "n"
represents the paws, and the "g" characterizes the long tail of the
creature.
