What is the meaning of the dragon in wales?

Answer 1

The dragon has been depicted on the Welsh banner since at least the departure of the Roman legions and is the official emblem of Wales and was derived from the Great Red Serpent that once represented the old Welsh god Dewi. In 1901 Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II also approved that 'the existing red dragon badge, which was appointed as a Royal Badge for Wales over one-hundred-and-fifty years ago, should be honourably augmented by enclosing it in a scroll carrying the words Y DDRAIG GOCH DDYRY CYCHWYN (roughly translated means the Red Dragon inspires action.) This motto was is in green lettering on a white background and surmounting it a Royal Crown. The dragon officially became the symbol of Wales in 1959.
