6 Dragons
The Chinese aren't afraid of Dragons - in fact most of the world reveres them. Why does most of the Western world fear them? Programming. It's time to unlearn what we've learned, and open our consciousnesses to a new way of looking at the natural world - the ancient world. Let's start with understanding the 6 Dragons.
1. **Hidden Dragon (潜龙 / Qián Lóng):**
A talented or powerful person who keeps a low profile, hiding their true abilities or potential.
2. **Flying Dragon (飞龙 / Fēi Lóng):**
Someone who has risen to prominence or power, displaying their abilities openly and achieving success.
3. **Leaping Dragon (跃龙 / Yuè Lóng):**
A person or force that is making a bold or energetic move, transitioning from potential to action.
4. **Sleeping Dragon (卧龙 / Wò Lóng):**
A wise or talented individual who is not yet recognized or has not yet made an impact; often used to refer to Zhuge Liang, the famous strategist.
5. **Emerging Dragon (现龙 / Xiàn Lóng):**
Someone or something that is just beginning to reveal its power or influence, coming out into the open.
6. **Arrogant Dragon (亢龙 / Kàng Lóng):**
Someone who becomes overconfident or overreaches after gaining power, often leading to downfall or trouble.
**In summary:**
These "dragon" metaphors describe different stages of talent, power, or influence—from hidden or dormant, to rising and emerging, to potentially overreaching and facing consequences.
