The Year of the Water Dragon is an auspicious sign for business and fortune amongst the 12 Zodiac animals. In Fengshui terms it means wealth grows especially well in the Dragon Year.
During Chinese New Year, dragon and lion dances are commonly performed.
It is believed that the loud beats of the drum and the deafening sounds of the cymbals together with the face of the dragon or lion dancing aggressively can evict bad or evil spirits.
Lion dances are also popular for opening of businesses in Singapore.
