This illustration was created for traditional Chinese festivals. This festival is called Dragon Heads-raising Day. It is the beginning of spring ploughing and the beginning of spring in a year. There are elements of the shape of a Chinese dragon, clouds, swallows and the sun. Unlike Western culture, the dragon symbolizes auspiciousness and good luck in China, and the Chinese dragon is also a rain god.
