In the myths and legends of Dragon China, the dragon is a magical animal with various images. It represents Yang in the world view of Yin and Yang, and is a symbol of the Chinese nation and the ancient royal family. The ancestors of the Chinese nation, Yan Di and the Yellow Emperor, are said to have a close relationship with dragons. It is said that "The Yellow Emperor's Dragon Xuanyuan Family Leaving the River Dragon" (Secretary Zhu's Year) was born by his mother and turned into a red dragon after his death. The source of dragons is the magical animals in China's myths and legends. It has a snake's body, lizard's legs, claws, snake's tail, antlers, fish scales, a beard on the mouth and beads under the forehead. According to Shan Hai Jing, Xia Houqi, Ru Shou and Ju Mang all "rode the rain dragon". There are other secretaries, "Zhuan Xu, Lapras and the Four Seas" and "Di Ku, Chunxia and Lapras". Predecessors divided dragons into four types: those with scales, those with wings, Ying Long, those with horns and those without horns. The earliest dragon pattern found in China came from the Chahai site in the middle of Xinglongwa Culture 8000 years ago (Xinglongwa Culture was named after the excavation of Xinglongwa site in Aohan Banner, Inner Mongolia, which is adjacent to Liaoning Province, and the Chahai site is in Fuxin County, Liaoning Province). Found a dragon about 19.7 meters long, piled and placed with reddish-brown stones. The discovery of this dragon in Xinglongwa Culture pushed the history of dragon worship in China to 8,000 years ago. In the early days, the ancients could not make a reasonable explanation for most natural phenomena, so they hoped that their national totems would have the power of wind and rain, the majestic posture of mountains, swimming in the water like fish and flying in the sky like birds. Therefore, the characteristics of many animals are concentrated on dragons, and dragons have gradually become "nine unlike" (with the characteristics of nine animals). This composite structure means that the dragon is the head of all animals and an omnipotent god. There are many different images of dragons in ancient books. One of them is said to be slender, with four feet and anticlimactic. Speaking of wearing scales, there is a beard and five claws on the head. Compendium of Materia Medica says that "dragons have nine similarities", which is a heterogeneous animal with the advantages of various animals. It has many names. Those with scales are called dragons, those with wings are called Ying Long, those with horns are called dragons, and those without horns are called dragons. The little one is called Jiao, and the big one is called Dragon. Legend has it that it can be displayed and hidden, detailed and huge, short and long. The vernal equinox ascends to the sky, and the autumnal equinox dives into the deep, omnipotent. There are "Dragon Kings" in Taishang Cave's Divine Mantra Classic, which lists the "Five Emperors Dragon Kings" by orientation, the "Four Seas Dragon Kings" by ocean, and the names of 54 dragon kings and 62 dragon kings by everything in the world. When Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was in power, altar officials were set up to offer sacrifices to the Dragon King. Song Taizu followed the Five Dragon Sacrifice System in Tang Dynasty. In the second year of Song Huizong Daguan (1 108), all the five dragons in the world were crowned kings. Seal Qinglong God as King of Ren Guang, Red Dragon God as King Jiaze, Huanglong God as King Fu Ying, White Dragon God as King Iggy, and Black Dragon God as King Lingze. In the second year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (1863), the dragon god of the canal was named "the dragon god who should divide the water", which made the river chief pay a timely sacrifice. The dragon kings in The Journey to the West are Ao Guang in the East China Sea, Aoqin in the South China Sea, Aorun in the West Sea and Aoshun in the North Sea, which are collectively called the Four Seas Dragon Kings. With regard to the origin of the dragon, after long-term research and textual research, people finally reached a more consistent consensus: the dragon is a synthesis of various animals and a symbol of totem worship formed in primitive society. The prototype of the dragon has sprouted in the late Neolithic period, and it is a virtual imagination with the totem of the Xia nationality as the main body. The ancients had various explanations for this. It is said that [tng] snakes can fly without feet (see Xunzi's "Persuasion"); Those with scales are called dragons, those with horns are called mound prisoners, and those without horns are called JiJilong. (See "Li Sao" and "Guang Ya" quoted from Hongbu. ) The one with wings is called (Wang Note). Some people say that dragons are like dogs and cows, while Lun Heng said, "The image of dragons is anticlimactic." It is also said that the shape of the dragon is the horn of a deer, the ear of a cow, the head of a camel, the eyes of a rabbit, the neck of a snake, the belly of a stork, the scales of a fish, the soles of a deer's feet and the claws of an eagle. This is obviously the late development of the dragon image, which is more and more complicated than the original dragon, and more and more totems are integrated, indicating that it is constantly enriching and developing. Scholars have done a lot of useful research on the main prototype of the dragon. There are crocodiles, lizards, horses and so on. But it is generally believed that the keynote of the dragon is snake. Wen Yiduo's masterpiece Fuxi Kao was the first to put forward this view systematically. The dragon is a big snake and the snake is a little dragon. Wen Yiduo believes that after the snake clan merged with other clans, it "absorbed many other totem clans (clans), and the serpent accepted the four feet of animals, the head of horses, the tail of raccoons, the horns of deer, the claws of dogs, the scales and beards of fish" and became the later dragon. On the basis of Wen Yiduo's research, later generations have made many enrichment and supplements.
