The Bearer of Infinite Blessings

Gardens by the Bay welcomes the year of the Wood Dragon with a 5.5-metre-tall driftwood sculpture by artist James Doran-Webb. Entitled "The Bearer of Infinite Blessings", this five-toed dragon holding the jewel of life in its arms, celebrates growth, progress and abundance. Witness the magnificent sculpture created through 9,000 hours of dedicated craftsmanship using over a ton of recycled stainless steel and hardwood from the Vitex parviflora tree at Flower Dome!

The Chinese Five Elements and the Year of the Wood Dragon

In the Chinese philosophy, the Five Elements - Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water are fundamental forces that influence various aspects of life. 2024 is the Year of the Wood Dragon – individuals born this year are believed to embody traits of ambition, charisma, flexibility and adaptability. Dahlia Dreams floral display highlights a Wood Dragon as the centrepiece, adorned with flowers by Dementia Singapore and volunteers, surrounded by lanterns representing the other elements, each uniquely coloured and symbolic.

The Dragon in Chinese Culture

In Chinese culture, the dragon is a revered mythical creature symbolising imperial power, authority, and divine qualities. Historically linked to emperors as a symbol of their heavenly mandate, it's also seen as a guardian, with dragon motifs in architecture believed to ward off negative energies. In the Chinese zodiac, the Year of the Dragon is especially auspicious, with those born under this sign believed to embody the dragon's positive qualities.

Carp Jumping over the Dragon Gate

According to Chinese Mythology, there is a mythical waterfall called the Dragon Gate in the Yellow River. Against the strong river currents, carps swimming upstream which successfully leaped over the Dragon Gate were transformed into powerful dragons.  The Chinese dragon is an auspicious symbol of great power, historically an exclusive symbol of the emperor. The saying "Carp jumping over the Dragon's Gate" implies that hard work and perseverance can lead to overcoming obstacles and achieving greatness.
