My parents made it “real” for my childhood. It was not until I was a young adult that I figured it out. The iconic figure is on our Chinese ceramics, dish wares, home decors, clothing, etc. I never battled the idea it wasn’t real. Being a “too gee”(American born Chinese), I praise you for your well-written articles.
Before I retired as a teacher, I did the Chinese New Year unit in my classroom so the children would see what the hype was all about. I would bring in the lion head, red envelopes, oranges, and I would demonstrate to my primary grade children. We would compare and contrast to other cultural groups. Thank you for all your resources.
