My impression of the dragon essay

Dragon for the legendary "four spirits" one of the Chinese nation since ancient times has been worshipped by a kind of divine animal, is the totem of the Chinese ancestors, in the traditional Chinese culture, the dragon is a symbol of good, peaceful, since ancient times, the Chinese people have circulated a lot of myths and legends about the dragon, China is therefore foreigners known as the "home of the dragon", the Chinese people are also proud of the "descendants of the dragon". China has been called the "home of the dragon" by foreigners, and Chinese people are also proud of being the "descendants of the dragon". The Chinese dragon is a cultural image that carries thousands of years of traditional Chinese culture, is a unique and outstanding symbol of Chinese civilization, and is a distinctive and timeless symbol of the spirit of the Chinese nation. But just because of some foreigners' "unrealistic associations", there are some good people in their own countries who seriously propose, as an important study, to remove the "dragon" as the symbol of China's image and "reconstruct and present China's national image brand to the world". The Chinese national image brand to show the world", but there is really no need.

It is normal that different countries, different peoples and different people will have different interpretations of the same cultural image. John Bull" and "Uncle Sam" are the pronouns of the United Kingdom and the United States, these two images in our Chinese view may not see the good, but the British and Americans have not proposed to "reconstruct" the so-called "the". But the British and Americans have not proposed to "reconstruct" the so-called "national image brand". Why is it that our "national image" cannot withstand the "misinterpretation" of a few foreigners? Moreover, even if it is "reconstructed", there is no guarantee that foreigners will not similarly "misinterpret" it. If a few people in a country make such a request, it only shows that they are confused. If the majority of the people do so, it shows that the people of this country have no confidence in the strength and culture of their own people.

It's true that we need to innovate in our culture, but we don't need to do it on purpose. Just like not long ago made a big fuss about the standard statue of Confucius incident, on the one hand, there has been a more authoritative statue of Confucius in history, on the other hand, Confucius for most Chinese people, originally is a "cultural symbol", few people in the see "Confucius" two words will remember what he really looks like. When few people see the word "Confucius", they will remember what he really looks like, there is a need to introduce a standard like imposed on the public? Besides, there is hardly any kind of force that can do it.
