Have a dragon in life!

I used to wonder in my childhood what could be China's philosophy behind "Dragon" as its representative animal.

I searched out in Wikipedia then - 

"The Chinese dragon is the highest-ranking animal in the Chinese animal hierarchy, strongly associated at one time with the emperor and hence power and majesty (the mythical bird fenghuang was the symbol of the Chinese empress), still recognized and revered. Its origins are vague, but its "ancestors can be found on Neolithic pottery as well as Bronze Age ritual vessels". Tradition has it composed of nine different animals, with nine sons, each with its own imagery and affiliations. It is the only mythological animal of the 12 animals that represent the Chinese calendar. 2012 is the Chinese year of the Water Dragon."

I wish I know what are those 12 kinds of dragons and what does it represent? 

Anyways, dragon represents power and energies and as far as energies are concerned, why not? Anything that leads to energies, happiness and courage would be certainly divine as all such values forms part of godliness and undoubtedly accepted by public at large. Have a dragon in life!
