🐲 The Wood Dragon
Year 2024 is When We Celebrate the Year of Dragon
In the Chinese Zodiac, each year is associated with an animal sign, and 2024 marks the Year of the Wood Dragon.
The Dragon is one of the most revered symbols in Chinese culture, embodying power, strength, and good fortune.
When paired with the element of Wood, it brings about qualities of growth, flexibility, and vitality, making the Wood Dragon year particularly auspicious.

Dragon’s Significance in Chinese Culture
The Dragon holds a special place in Chinese tradition, symbolising imperial power, bravery, and success.
People born under this sign are said to inherit its dynamic and ambitious traits, often leading them to achieve great things in life.
It's no wonder that many consider the birth of a child in the Year of the Dragon to be exceptionally auspicious, a belief echoed by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.

He emphasised the cultural significance of welcoming a child born under this sign, highlighting its association with prosperity and good fortune.
PM Lee's message resonates deeply in a society like Singapore, where birth rates have been declining.
Despite global trends, he urges couples to prioritise parenthood and emphasises the government's commitment to supporting families in their journey towards building a stronger society.
