On August 8th, 1934 found a skeleton very similar to the legendary dragon in Yingkou. Even more incredible is that before this mysterious creature died, local residents had seen it twice and had long-term close contact with it!
The first volume of Yingkou City Records records: "(1 934) On the afternoon of August 8, a farmer in Dongxiao Street on the north bank of Liaohe River found a giant animal white bone in the nearby Tang Wei, with a length of about 10 meter, a corner on the left and right sides of the head, and a total of 29 spines. The Sixth Police Department of Yingkou, a Japanese puppet army, transported it to the open space near the West Customs Wharf for several days, and people went to visit it in an endless stream.
Some old people recalled that this monster appeared twice, the first time it appeared 20 kilometers away from the estuary.
Xiao Man Su Qin Sr: At the age of 9, her father drove the bus for the landlord. At that time, many people said that they found a "living dragon" in the upper reaches of grange terrace, so they rushed there. Dad put her on horseback and watched for her. The "dragon" she saw was square-headed and square-brained, with big eyes and blinking eyes, while its body was gray, curled up on the ground, its tail rolled up, and its two claws extended to its abdomen. What impressed her the most was that it was weak, with half-open eyes and a little red eyes. Many people said it was because of the hot weather, so they built a shed on it. Then it rained heavily for a long time, and this "dragon" disappeared.
At that time, the common people thought it was auspicious for dragons to fall from the sky. Some people use reed mats to build a pavilion for the monster tower, while others carry water and pour it on the monster to prevent it from drying out. It is said that people are very active, even lazy people have to carry water and deliver water on weekdays. In the temple, many people and monks cross the past to look for it every day until the monster mysteriously disappeared for a few days after another rainstorm.
However, after more than 20 days of continuous rain, this monster appeared strangely for the second time, this time in the reeds at Liaohekou 10 km. At this time, it is not a creature, but a corpse with a strange smell.
According to Yang Yishun's old memory, before the discovery of the "dragon" bone, I heard adults say that there was always a crackling sound among the reeds, and there was a cry like an ox. It sounded dull, and I could hear the struggle, but then nothing happened. At that time, it had rained heavily for more than 40 days in Yingkou area. Streets and roads were flooded, and some houses collapsed because of too much water. After the rain stopped, the north wind blew and the smell in the air was very strong. A worker surnamed Lu, who was in charge of reed pond, followed the strange smell and found a large lying reed. Pushing them aside, he went in to see them. He was shocked: there was a huge animal carcass lying inside! The workers turned and fled in fear and went home with a serious illness. When people heard about it, they all went to see it together and reported it to the then government. At that time, the staff of an epidemic prevention hospital near the West Customs wore white coats and sprayed disinfectant on the dead animals with maggots. After the "dragon" bone was carried out, someone tied a rope with four anchors and surrounded the skeleton in a circle for everyone to visit.
Sun Zhengren: Bare bones are not primitive dragons. It's not that shape, but it's quite long and has a big head. These two big horns are more than one meter long, not only one meter three or four feet long, but also two. Lying on the ground, my body is crooked and can be as long as ten meters.
The son of Ma, a famous osteopath in Yingkou (Ma has seen the "dragon" bones with his own eyes) remembers that his father told him that when these bones were discovered, the meat had not completely rotted and looked particularly like a "dragon".
The reporter was surprised to find that this "dragon" actually had claws, and dug a pit nearly 17 meters long and more than 6 meters wide with claws, indicating that this "dragon" had struggled.
Related records: "... the dragon is towering, with three pieces of armor on the left and right sides of its head, a spine more than three inches wide, ribs attached to both sides of the spine, each about five or six inches long, and a vertical plate-shaped white bone tail at its tail, with a total of 28 sections, each about one foot long, totaling more than three feet." In the place of the primitive dragon, there was a pit dug with claws, which obviously existed along the paw prints to the keel.
These characteristics further verify the view that it is a dragon.
According to several old people, old fishermen were invited to identify them, but no one knew the monster's body. People talk about it in succession, and generally think it is a "dragon".
Yingkou pseudo-sixth police station organized manpower, decomposed its bones, transported them to the south bank, and placed them in the open space in front of the West Customs for anyone to visit.
Are there really dragons in the world? ! A preliminary study on 1934 Yingkou dragon falling
At that time, Shengjing Times sent people to interview them. These works were also called "Dragon", "Dragon Falling from the Sky", "Dragon Falling from Yingchuan" and "Dragon", with photos and illustrations. Yingkou citizens are scrambling to watch, and tourists from nearby cities are in an endless stream, so buying train tickets to and from Yingkou has become tense. Later, it was reported that Mr. Zhang from the Fishing Department of Yingkou Fisheries High School judged that this was "a jiaozi".
At that time, Yingkou Meida Photo Studio and Yingming Photo Studio developed and printed a large number of photos of the "Dragon" bone exhibition and sold them along the street near Erbending Hutong. Some people from other places came to Yingkou to visit the "dragon" bone, scrambling to buy photos of the "dragon" bone and bring them back to their families for appreciation.
Li Binsheng: I remember I was ten years old that year. 70 years ago, the circle around the open-air exhibition of West Customs was an anchor. The anchors used to fix the boat under the sampan were intermittently enclosed in a circle and blocked by ropes. The ground was covered with white ash because many people could not squeeze in. As people move, people become curious about it. It's just that there is a dragon in legend, an opportunity that has never been seen in real life. They all want to see it. It is very long, two or three feet long, about ten meters long, standing. The spine is not like a fish. It is strange that there are horns on the head, and no aquarium has horns.
Looking through the relevant information, the reporter saw a copy of the photo of the "Dragon" bone published in Shengjing Times on August 1934. Although it is very old, limited by photography technology and various factors at that time, people wearing straw hats can only be seen vaguely, but a long animal skeleton and two long horns born on its head are still clearly visible in the picture.
Unfortunately, due to the chaotic social order at that time, the fishery high school was relocated several times, and these huge bones were lost.
1939, 16-year-old Sun Zhengren came to Dalian to be a housekeeper, and the hostess's husband was the younger brother of the president of Yingkou Chamber of Commerce. Sun Zhengren won the appreciation of the master. When he left Dalian on 194 1, the hostess gave him a "dragon" bone as a reward. It is reported that the keel in the hostess's hand weighs about three kilograms and is in a white strip shape. The bottom of the bone is about the size of a bowl. It slowly extends upward and becomes thinner and thinner until it reaches the tip. The white glaze on the surface of the bone is very bright, and everyone says it is a' dragon' tooth. The hostess told him that this is the keel that was once exhibited in Yingkou.
On the morning of June 6th, Lao Sunman donated five "dragon" bones that he had preserved for 63 years to the Municipal Archives Bureau. He hopes that the relevant departments can identify the bones in his hand.
The dragon falling event in Yingkou and the secular process of keel are probably like this. In this regard, many media have reported, and there are also various voices of doubt:
CCTV also filmed a feature film, concluding that the whale ran aground, and then its bones were misspelled.
Fu Renyi, a researcher in Liaoning Province, inferred from the photos of Shengjing Times that the "dragon" bone was a "primitive cow" fossil unearthed.
Dong Wei, an associate researcher, believes that this may be an elephant fossil, and those two "horns" are tusks.
Some experts studied the keel donated by Masayoshi Lao Sunman, and initially thought it was the fossil of the Quaternary wild horse.
These explanations are obviously unsatisfactory:
Whales have no horns and four claws, so bones assembled from newly decomposed living bodies are unlikely to be seriously misaligned in length, shape and characteristics.
Cows, horses and elephants can't have snake-shaped bones more than ten meters long.
Moreover, archaeologists neglected one of the most important problems: the bones at that time were decomposed from living things, not paleontological fossils, and fresh bones could not become fossils.
Because of the origin of Sun Lao's keel and the difference between fossils and fresh bones, people can't help wondering if this is the Yingkou keel at that time.
Although there are a large number of witnesses and very detailed photos, due to the lack of physical objects, Yingkou dragon falling incident has become a historical mystery that is difficult to solve.
Because we should try our best to ensure the objectivity of things, most of the above descriptions are related articles based on photoacoustic finishing. I dare not be greedy, thank you here!
I sorted out some dragon sightings on the Internet, and found that most of the witnesses (quite a few people saw them at the same time) claimed that the mysterious creatures they saw were very similar to dragons, with cow heads, snake bodies, four claws and long horns, and their bodies were quite long and huge. These events can be divided into two categories. The first kind is witnessing: many people claim to have seen dragons flying in the air. Sometimes it is a part of the body. In an eyewitness event in Inner Mongolia, several witnesses claimed to have seen a huge paw in the cloud. Sometimes the whole body. The strangest thing is that several female paratroopers of the People's Liberation Army said that they saw dragons in the clouds during a skydiving training during the Cultural Revolution. Because of the political environment at that time, these people did not advocate it. The dragon seen by others is in the water. It's similar to seeing a water monster. I won't write more.
The second category is falling dragons. According to the author of some articles, he collected dozens of dragon falls. As far as I know, there are two kinds of these incidents: one is that there was no rain for a long time when the drought was severe, and the villagers found a huge dragon-shaped creature in the open space. It seems to be exhausted, and it has been lying on the ground, only occasionally twisting its body. Kind villagers usually cover it with cushions. The time the dragon spent on the ground ranged from two or three days to two months, during which he didn't eat or drink. Dragons always disappear on that stormy night. The villagers believe that the dragon's suffering on the ground is God's punishment for his mistake, and the dragon will return to heaven after his sentence is over. The other is that lightning kills creatures like dragons. If the former one is a living dragon, then this one is a dead dragon. The number of dead dragons is less than the number of living dragons. The folk explanation is that the dragon committed a great crime and was sent to earth by heaven.
Are there really dragons in the world? ! A preliminary study on 1934 Yingkou dragon falling
Some problems can also be seen from these incidents: all the dragon sightings took place in China, and one of them took place in Singapore. There are some in Japan and South Korea, but I haven't found any examples yet. People from different cultural backgrounds can't see dragons? If this creature does exist, how do you explain it? How can a dragon fly without wings? It is said that only dragons do not exist in the zodiac, but why did our ancestors create a nonexistent animal alongside the existing eleven animals? Please don't treat this article as a curiosity, I just want to find the answer to the matter.
Attachment: Records of dragons in past dynasties (I believe it is very incomplete, please provide information from friends)
● (Five Elements of the Later Han Dynasty): Longliangtang
This sentence was quoted in the Qing Dynasty [Luoyang County Records Thousand Different Records], which was as black as a car cover, brilliant and colorful, and the book of the later Han Dynasty was more clear.
In June of the first year of Ling Diguang and Ding Chou, a black atmosphere fell into the East Hall of Gong Bei Wen Ming Temple, black as a car cover, full of excitement and colorful bodies, with a head more than ten feet long and shaped like a dragon.
Liu Hong, the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was a spiritual emperor. Guanghe was one of the titles he used when he was in office. In June of the first year of Guanghe, Ding Chou was on 1 July 781day. The capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty is in the suburb of Luoyang, Henan Province, and Wenming Hall may be the emperor's bedroom. In the East Courtyard of Wen Ming Hall, a huge black object fell from the sky, like a circular car umbrella, showing five colors of light in the rapid rotation of the body. Although it has a head, it has no feet and tail, just like a dragon, more than 20 meters long.
● [yuan dynasty history. [Five Elements] Cloud: In July of the 27th year of the Yuan Dynasty, a dragon appeared in Longshan, Linxiong County, Yidu, and a boulder weighing 1000 kg floated.
Twenty-seven years to the Yuan Dynasty. Linxiong County is in today's Shandong Province. A dragon appeared in Longshan, but I don't know what it looks like. Its arrival can actually float a thousand pounds of boulder.
● In the twenty-four years of Jian 'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Huanglong appeared in Chishui, Wuyang, and left after nine days. At that time, a temple was built for this purpose
● In April of the first year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 345), two dragons, one black and one white, appeared in Longshan. The prince personally led the courtiers and held a sacrificial ceremony more than 200 steps away from the dragon.
● In the local chronicles of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, records about dragons are found from time to time. According to the Records of Lin 'an Prefecture, in the fourth year of Chongzhen (A.D. 163 1 year), dragons appeared in the Yilong Lake in the southeast of Shiping County, Yunnan Province. Dragons have appeared in Longshan and Yilong Lake more than once. Otherwise, it will not be called "Longshan" or "Yilong Lake"!
"Tang Daizong Nian Bu Zhi" records that one day in the last years of Tang Xiantong, a Qinglong in Tongcheng County fell and died on the spot because of a throat injury. This dragon is more than ten feet long, half-length and half-tail. The tail is flat. Its scales are similar to those of fish, with double horns on its head, a mouth that must be two feet long, feet under its abdomen and a red membrane on its feet.
● Lang Ying's "Seven Manuscripts" records that at the end of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty, a dragon landed on the beach in Xinhui County, Guangdong Province and was killed by fishermen. This dragon is about one person tall and dozens of feet long. It looks like the dragon in the picture, only its belly is red.
● In the thirty-second year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (A.D. 1 162), a dragon was found near Taibai Lake. It had huge scales and whiskers, a white abdomen, a green back, fins on its back and high horns on its head, and it could smell fishy for miles away. The local people covered its body with mats, and the government sent people to offer sacrifices in person. The dragon disappeared after a thunderstorm overnight. It left a deep ditch where it lay.
● According to the Records of Yongping County, in the summer of the 19th year of Daoguang (A.D. 1839), dragons fell in Laoting County in the lower reaches of Luanhe River, and flies were everywhere. The local people built a shed for it to keep out the sun and poured water on it. Three days later, in a thunderstorm, the dragon left its position.
In August, 1944, hundreds of people saw a black dragon on the beach behind Chenjiaweizi Village in Fuyu County on the southern edge of Songhua River. According to Ren Dianyuan, a witness who is still alive, the dragon is about 20 meters long. This animal looks like a four-legged snake, and its face is similar to the dragon in the painting. It has seven or eight thick and hard beards, and the first half of its body is about one meter in diameter. Four claws stuck deep into the beach. It is covered with scales, shaped like crocodile scales. Ren Dianyuan is still full of doubts. Why does that huge animal look like a dragon in the painting?
●/kloc-in the summer of 0/953, an unknown animal landed somewhere in eastern Henan, and many busybodies walked for miles to watch. According to the shape described by the witness, this thing looks like a huge shark. Its fishy smell attracts many flies. This kind of fish should be a rare fish that lives in the deep sea. As for why it fell from the sky, it seems to be related to the reason why the dragon fell.
