(at around 45 mins) The character carved in the tree is the Chinese word for "center" or "middle". In the movie, an expert in Asian Studies analyzed it to be a mahjong tile (red dragon), but it is a very common character, even found in the Chinese words for 'China' (literally 'Middle Kingdom'). The mahjong tile that uses this character is called "red center" in Chinese. It is only called 'red dragon' for anglophones as a matter of convenience. To make the leap from 'center' to 'red dragon' is as absurd as someone randomly finding the letter 'A' and concluding it must be the ace of clubs. However, the fact that it is used on its own and it's evidently a calling card of some sort makes it clear that there is more to the symbol than just its straightforward interpretation.
