- The Dragon, also called Loong, is the fifth animal in the 12-year cycle that appears in the Chinese zodiac according to the Chinese calendar.
- The Year of the Dragon is associated with the symbol of the earth branch. Dragons are the most revered animals in Chinese culture and the Chinese consider themselves to be their descendants. In history, emperors were seen as reincarnations of dragons.
- Years of the Dragon include 2024, 2012, 2000, 1988, 1976, 1964, 1952...
- 2024 is the Year of the Wooden Dragon, which begins on February 10, 2024 (Chinese New Year) and ends on January 28, 2025 (Chinese New Year's Eve).
- The luckiest Chinese zodiac signs in 2024 are Monkey, Rooster and Pig. The buffalo, rabbit, goat and dog are not quite as lucky.
- The dragons' luck is influenced by the "opposition to Tai Sui".
