The concept of dragon meme coins and calligraphy projects has emerged on major public chains in anticipation of the upcoming Lunar New Year in 2024. Whether it’s Silly Dragon on Solana or DINO on Avalanche.
However, the rise of the dragon concept is not only influenced by Chinese elements but actually originated from the West. During Halloween in 2023, Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko appeared in a “Silly Dragon” costume at the Amsterdam Solana Breakpoint 2023 meetup. Shortly after catching Anatoly’s attention, Silly Dragon’s price increased more than 80 times and reached a historical high of 0.13 USDT on December 25.
In the Western world, the concept of dragons exists in ancient Greece, ancient Babylon, Christian narratives, Norse mythology, Celtic culture, and Anglo-Saxon legends. It is a national symbol for Vikings, Celts, and Anglo-Saxons, representing power and sacredness.
In the Christian narrative of “Saint George and the Dragon,” dragons are portrayed as “hoarders” and devils. In China, dragons have been worshipped as a totem since the Shang and Zhou dynasties. They are the leaders of all creatures, bringing abundant rain and blessings to the earth, symbolizing peace in the world. In the political hierarchy since the Qin and Han dynasties, dragons have been a symbol of political power in China, representing wealth, wisdom, and authority.
With the “Year of the Dragon” hype, both the East and the West share a common cultural meme. Taking this into account, Foresight News has compiled a list of recent dragon-themed meme coins and calligraphy projects on major mainstream public chains.
