对龙的拜祭日

The Chinese,regardless of where they live,celebrate festivals and happy occasions with dragon dances. At the beginning of the year of the dragon, colorful dragons can be often seen dancing in streets. Special worshipping ceremonies take place on the first and 15th day of every month. Dragon shrines and altars can still be seen in many places in China. They are usually located along seashores and riverbanks since it was believed that most Eastern dragons lived in water. Everything connected with dragons is blessed.
