呼风唤雨镇水灾
       龙是传说中的神异动物，早在几千年前，中国大地上就出现了“龙”的形象——鹿角、鱼鳞、鹰爪、虎掌......龙具有多种动物的特征。
       在神话传说中，龙能呼风唤雨，各个海域都有龙王, 统领一方水族。以前很多地方都建有龙王庙, 遇到大旱天气，民间还会举行舞龙祈雨活动。所以,很多桥上都会雕龙，寄托了人们希望桥梁拱稳固，水灾消失的美好愿望。
真龙天子我最大
       在人们的想象中，龙善于变化，拥有强大的力量，几乎不可战胜。随着龙的不断神化，人们把龙和与皇权联系了起来。帝王的身体称为“龙体”，帝王登基称为“龙袍加身”，帝王自命“真龙天子”。在故宫里，龙的形象无处不在，光太和殿里就有 1 万多条龙，有“万龙朝圣”之意。
节日氛围组担当
      每逢新春佳节或元宵节，我国不少地方会举行舞龙活动。农历二月二龙抬头，有的地方还会举行祭龙活动。南方一些地区在端午节还喜欢赛龙舟，热闹非凡。
      我们中国人自称龙的传人，还将奋斗不止、自强不息的民族精神称为龙马精神呢！
      水不在深，有龙则灵。——刘禹锡《陋室铭》    大意：水不在于深，有了龙就会有灵气。
