Sir Elton John rocks Florida with a dragon jacket

Sir Elton John rocked the stage in Florida with a glitter green jacket full of Chinese style embroidery. A red dragon rising above a cloud was seen stitched on the back of the jacket while a red dragon stirring up waves and lotus was seen on the front. In Western legends, the dragon is usually something to be feared. But in Chinese culture, dragons symbolize protection, fortune, wisdom, nobility and power. Chinese Emperors had them adorn garments and buildings to portray greatness, power and strength. [Photo: VCG]
