Lion and dragon dance opens up Chinese New Year celebration in Yangon – Xinhua | English.news.cn
http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/china/2012-01/22/c_131373493.htm
YANGON, Jan. 22 (Xinhua) — A grand lion and dragon dance performed by Chinese-Myanmar dancing groups opened up the Chinese New Year celebration in Myanmar’s commercial city of Yangon Sunday, the eve of the Chinese Year of the Dragon.
With large traditional drums beating and colorful festive flags flying, the round-the-Chinatown dancing procession made up by 24 amateur lion and dragon dancing groups attracted thousands of watchers on Sunday afternoon.
As in the previous years, the marchers paid homage to the Chinatown Guangdong Guanyin (God of Mercy) Temple and Fujian Qingfu Gong Temple with on-the-spot brief performance when they passed by.
The two ancient temples of over a century of history represent the two largest Chinese temples in the Yangon Chinatown….
For the past week as the lunar new year was drawing near, many Chinese-Myanmar communities launched their respective traditional charity activities with several social and religious organizations such as Fujian Qing Fu Gon Temple, Guangdong Guan Yin Temple and Mutai Temple, distributing cash aid to the poor people above 75 years of age with no children to care for them.

Dr. Htin Aung
(From ‘Folk Elements in Burmese Buddhism’, 1959)
….As has been stated above, the worship of the Naga was prevalent in the kingdom of Tagaung. The Burmese Naga is similar in many ways to the Indian Naga and the Chinese Dragon, hut it is difficult to say whether the worship of the Naga was originally a native cult or borrowed from the neighbouring regions of Manipur and Yunnan. …
After attaining Buddhahood, the Buddha spent seven weeks in continuous meditation in the vicinity of the Bodhi Tree, and the sixth of the seven weeks was spent on the shore of the Mucalinda Lake***, a few yards away from the Tree; there blew a great storm, and the Naga king, who lived in a tree nearby, sheltered the Buddha by winding his coils seven times round the meditating Buddha’s body and holding his hood over the Buddha’s head…..
In fact, up to the present day the Naga is the most popular motif in Burmese art, both religious and secular.

There exists much folklore regarding the Naga. The Burmese Naga is definitely of the serpent brood. A Naga can burn anything into ashes by merely looking askance at it in anger. But this power doesn’t affect the Galon, who is the arch enemy of the Naga, for the galon loves to eat Naga flesh.
A Naga is able to assume human form at will. When a Naga who has assumed human form falls sleep. He automatically becomes a Naga again. A Naga gives jewels, especially rubies, to those whom he likes or to those who worship him. There have been instances of a male Naga in the form of a human mating with a human woman and female Naga in the form of a human mating with a man.
Nagas live underground or on the floor of the sea. Whirlpools and earthquakes are often caused by the Nagas. Under each mud volcano in Minbu district, there lies a Naga who guards it. But unlike the Nat Spirit, the Naga doesn’t interfere much in human affairs, and usually remains an onlooker for human being.
There are also many place-name stories which are about Nagas, for many villages in upper Burma are known by names which have some reference to the Nagas as, for example, “Naga-bo” which means “Naga Male”, “Naga-Dwin”, which means “Naga-Pit”. The very word Naga shows that the Burmese Naga has much to do with the Indian Naga, and doubtless the Burmese Naga is also intimately connected with the Chinese dragon.
The tradition and the religious doctrines, which were practiced by the Myanmarese in those days, have striking similarities with the Manipuris beliefs. Folklores and folksongs always depict the roots and genesis of a community or a race. Closely analyzing every aspects of the traditions and culture both Myanmarese and Manipuris we can safely conclude that we originated from the same root and wholly belongs to the same forefathers and ancestors.

Naga
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C4%81ga
Nāga (Sanskrit: नाग, IAST: nāgá, Burmese: နဂါး, IPA: [nəɡá]; Javanese: någå, Khmer: នាគ neak, Thai: นาค nak, Chinese: 那伽, Tibetan: ཀླུ་) is the Sanskrit and Pāli word for a deity or class of entity or being, taking the form of a very great snake—specifically the King Cobra, found in Hinduism and Buddhism.
In Hinduism
Stories involving the nagas are still very much a part of contemporary cultural
traditions in predominantly Hindu regions of Asia (India, Nepal, and the island
of Bali). In India, nagas are considered nature spirits and the protectors of
springs, wells and rivers. They bring rain, and thus fertility, but are also
thought to bring disasters such as floods and drought.
Nagas are snakes that may take human form. They tend to be very curious.
According to traditions nagas are only malevolent to humans when they have been
mistreated. They are susceptible to mankind’s disrespectful actions in relation
to the environment. They are also associated with waters – rivers, lakes, seas,
and wells – and are generally regarded as guardians of treasure.
They are objects of great reverence in some parts of southern India where it is
believed that they bring fertility and prosperity to their venerators. Expensive
and grand rituals like Nagamandala[4] are conducted in their honor (see
Nagaradhane). In India, certain communities called Nagavanshi consider
themselves descendants of Nagas.
In Buddhism
Traditions about nagas are also very common in all the Buddhist countries of
Asia. In many countries, the naga concept has been merged with local traditions
of great and wise # serpents or dragons. In Tibet, the naga was equated with the
klu, wits that dwell in lakes or underground streams and guard treasure. In
China, the naga was equated with the lóng or Chinese dragon.
The Buddhist naga generally has the form of a great cobra-like snake, usually
with a single head but sometimes with many. At least some of the nagas are
capable of using magic powers to transform themselves into a human semblance. In
Buddhist painting, the naga is sometimes portrayed as a human being with a snake
or dragon extending over his head. …
Among the notable nagas of Buddhist tradition is Mucalinda, protector of the
Buddha. ….
Other traditions
For Malay sailors, nagas are a type of dragon with many heads; in Thailand and
Java, the naga is a wealthy underworld deity. In Laos they are beaked water
serpents. Phaya Naga, Water Dragon, is a well-known dragon in Thailand. People
in Thailand see it as a holy creature and worship it in the temple. It allegedly
lives in Mekong river….
In Cambodia
In a Cambodian legend, the naga were a reptilian race of beings who possessed a
large empire or kingdom in the Pacific Ocean region. See Kaliya. The Naga King’s
daughter married an Indian Brahmana named Kaundinya, and from their union sprang
the Cambodian people. Therefore still Cambodians say that they are “Born from
the Naga”. Cambodia or Kambhuja is also said to have been derived from the word
Kambhoj. ….

…..Dragons are often held to have major spiritual significance in various
religions and cultures around the world. In many Asian cultures dragons were,
and in some cultures still are, revered as representative of the primal forces
of nature, religion and the universe. They are associated with
wisdom – often said to be wiser than humans – and longevity.
They are commonly said to possess some form of magic or other supernatural power, and are often associated with wells, rain, and rivers. In some cultures, they are also said to be capable of human speech. In some traditions dragons are said to have taught humans to talk….

Chinese dragon
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_dragon
Chinese dragons are legendary creatures in Chinese mythology and folklore, with
mythic counterparts among Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Bhutanese, Western and
Turkic dragons.
In Chinese art, dragons are typically portrayed as long, scaled,
serpentine creatures with four legs. In yin and yang terminology, a dragon is
yang and complements a yin fenghuang (“Chinese phoenix”).
In contrast to European dragons, which are considered evil, Chinese dragons
traditionally symbolize potent and auspicious powers, particularly control over
water, rainfall, hurricane, and floods. The dragon is also a symbol of power,
strength, and good luck. With this, the Emperor of China usually uses the dragon
as a symbol of his imperial power.
In Chinese daily language, excellent and outstanding people are compared to the
dragon while incapable people with no achievements are compared with other,
disesteemed creatures, such as the worm.
