The original design for the Jamaican flag was a horizontal striped pattern with the same colors as the current flag, but it was rejected because of its similarity to the then flag of Tanganyika which is now part of Tanzania.
The Dragon Dance is a Chinese dance usually performed during the Chinese New Year to bring in good luck and prosperity. The dragons used in these dances are usually made up of sections of bamboo frames draped with silk.
Like the lion dance it is most often seen in festive celebrations. Chinese people often use the term âDescendants of the Dragonâ as a sign of ethnic identity. In the dance, a team of dancers carry the dragon â which is an image of the Chinese dragon â on poles.
