Offhand, the biggest thing I remember is the color red - hence why it's so popular in Chinese restaurants and in decorations for Chinese New Year. It's supposed to be a lucky color, an omen of good fortune, a standard for national pride, what have you.
I also remember something about dragons standing for wisdom (especially the wisdom of age), but if this is the story I'm thinking about that's probably not terribly helpful. :)
