Chinese Ambassador to Ireland Luo Linquan Launches The Chinese New Year Festival In Dublin by painting the dragon's eyes. About 1,500 years ago in China there was a renowned painter whose name was Zhang Sengyou. Monks from the Anle Temple in the southern city of Nanjing invited him to paint dragons on the temple wall. Zhang painted four lifelike dragons with his magical brush. But the monks quickly discovered that the dragons did not have eyes. They all wondered why. Zhang explained, "The dragons' eyes hold their spirits, without which their bodies are merely physical things. If I paint their eyes, they would fly away." The monks and local on-lookers shook their heads in disbelief. Zhang breathed out a sigh, and took up his brush. He quickly painted eyes on two of the dragons. Suddenly, the sky darkened, thunder roared, and rain came down hard. The two dragons that had painted eyes broke through the wall and flew swiftly heavenward with a thunderbolt.
