another important reason for the dragon to become the most popular icon in Chinese history came from how the dragon culture and the Chinese traditional food culture came together and interacted with each other in surprising ways. Almost every festival has its special food to commemorate the history. For example: after the rainy festival, people needed to eat the traditional food—“fine noodles.” Using the flour and salt as the main ingredients, the cooks begin to make the noodles as long as the dragon whiskers. Since some people argued that the fine noodles should not have had a thousand year history, the historians have found the ancient food records of the Tang Dynasty to prove that noodles and the Chinese dragon were in the same time. Long before every generation of Chinese children were able to go to school to study Chinese history and literature, they got their information and communicated with each other by eating the fine noodles and listening to the Chinese dragon history. Essentially, the Chinese dragon, with its mysterious, special and interesting features, was invented the thousands years ago, it has been used as one of the important parts of the Chinese culture.
