What do you think best represents the image of China?

The most representative image of China is the dragon. Ever since Sima Qian wrote in his "Records of the Grand Historian" that Liu Bang was the son of a dragon and the reincarnation of a real dragon, the dragon has been the exclusive totem of the Chinese royal family. Later, with the abdication of Emperor Xun of the Qing Dynasty, the dragon was gradually decentralized to the totem of all Chinese people, in the 1980s, a "Dragon's Successor" sung north and south of the Great Wall inside and outside, the Chinese people are more identified with the image of the dragon, and to this day, the dragon has also become the spirit of the Chinese people as a whole, but also the most representative of the image of China's totem.
