Chinese temple architecture is very gorgeous, and there must be dragons and gods on the roof. The dragon is supreme. Building materials are mostly made of colored glass, tiles, mosaics, and Cochin cut and glued, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, high-cost, and gradually lost. Its value lies in its bright, lively and non-fading color. This year is the Chinese Year of the Dragon, one of the twelve Chinese zodiac animals: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig. People born this year are dragons, and the ages of dragons are 1, 13, 25, 37-------.
