What’s your sign? In Western astrology, it’s a constellation determined by when your birthday falls in the calendar. But according to the Chinese zodiac (生肖), it’s your shuxiang, meaning the animal assigned to your birth year. Of the many myths explaining these animal signs and their arrangement, the most enduring one is that of The Great Race. Megan Campisi and Pen-Pen Chen recounts this classic myth.

3:48 as far as I’m aware, naga is.. dragon. In Indonesia at least, naga _is_ Indonesian for dragon. But the origin of what we Indonesian and Thai call as dragon is the same, a serpent looking mythical animal. We got the idea of Naga from Hinduism that brought by South Asians. Chinese idea of a dragon was largely similar, but conceived thousands of years prior. I’m quite sure South Asian’s idea of Naga copied the idea of Lóng (i.e. Chinese Dragon).
So all in all, Thais replaced "dragon" with "naga" is simply because of language differences. Thai word for dragon is admittedly Mạngkr not Naga, but the idea is the same. Naga might be Thai’s way to call dragon in religious way.
I mean, the illustration for dragon and the naga in this video is largely similar, just different colours.
I love how it’s just a bunch of normal animals then *dragon*
The legend of the Chinese dragon first originated in northern China, and the world’s first and earliest dragon-shaped jade pendant was unearthed (6,500 years ago). This is the earliest cultural relic. Be aware that Koreans are crazy about stealing Chinese culture on the international Internet. They claim that dragons originated in Korea. And the Koreans claim that the dragon originally had 7 claws in Korea, and later spread to China and became 5 claws, but the funny thing is that there are no dragon-shaped cultural relics in South Korea that are more than 2,000 years old, and the dragon shape unearthed in China originally had no claws of. I want Koreans to stop stealing because you steal our culture and then when you see us showing our culture you turn to your lies. You have a single nation, a small territory, and are all mountainous. There are no big rivers, so it is difficult to form a large-scale civilization. However, Koreans are crazy about labeling Chinese culture as Korean culture on the Internet. I don’t know if they did it on purpose. Logically speaking, it is difficult for a single nation and a small territory to produce a large number of cultures. Have you ever heard of candied haws on a stick? Candied haws on a stick was introduced to Korea about 4 years ago, and then the Koreans changed it and claimed that the candied haws on a stick originated in Korea. In addition, the landmark building tower in Incheon they are about to build is almost 90% similar to the Canton Tower. Then a few years later, Koreans will say on the Internet that Canton Tower copied Incheon Tower. The thief shouts, catch the thief!

How to get saved and be right with God for eternal life, from the King James Bible.
10. "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:"
23. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
Romans 3: 10+23 (KJB)
8. “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
9."Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him."
12. “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for all that have sinned:”
Romans 5: 8-9+12 (KJB)
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Romans 6: 23 (KJB)
9. “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”
10."For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
13."For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Romans 10: 9-10+13 (KJB)
27."And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:"
28."So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.”
Hebrews 9: 27-28 (KJB)
"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
Revelation 21: 8 (KJB)
(Lastly here is an example of what to pray to God to get saved and forgiven of your sins for eternal life.)
“Dear God, I am a sinner and need saving.
I know I’m not good enough to get to heaven and I need you to save me.
I need the righteousness of your son, Jesus Christ.
I believe that Jesus is the Lord, who died, was buried and resurrected so that his precious blood can wash away my sins.
I trust in him alone to save me.
Nothing else.
Not my good works or anything else.
Only Jesus.
I pray this in Jesus’ name, Amen.”
