The deepest connotation of dragon is its spirit of multicultural integration, innovation and development. Behind the image of the dragon, there are four concepts of China people: the world view of the unity of man and nature, the subject view of the benevolent, the development view of the connection of yin and yang and the inclusive cultural view. It contains almost all the essence of oriental philosophy represented by China. The dragon runs through the whole history of China, permeates the culture and art of China, and permeates the customs and habits of the whole Chinese nation. Dragon is like an invisible bond, a bond composed of common feelings, common ideas and common psychological qualities, which closely links the whole Chinese nation. Even today, no matter in China or all over the world, almost every descendant of the Chinese nation, no matter what creed he worships or what religion he believes in, will always say loudly: I am a descendant of the dragon.

Dragon's hometown is in China, but China has a history of ancient ancestors migrating to surrounding areas. The rise of the Western Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago and its prominent position in the world political, economic and cultural arena until the Tang, Yuan and Qing Dynasties promoted frequent exchanges and exchanges between China and surrounding areas and friendly countries in the fields of diplomacy, culture, religion and trade, and "Dragon Culture" subsequently entered and spread in the vast Asia-Pacific region.
