Are there really dragons in the world?
There is no such animal as dragon in the world. There is a dragon now because it is a totem worship formed by the Chinese nation for thousands of years. No one has really seen a real dragon, but it exists in the minds of China people. The shape of the dragon is also constantly changing, from the pig female dragon in Hongshan Culture to the dragon with random patterns in the Three Kingdoms, which has changed a lot, and its shape is not as simple and rich as it is now. The image of a dragon is a combination of many animals, which is generally considered as a dragon. The feet of birds and the heads of animals were the main characteristics of major animals at that time. People are full of admiration for the magic of these things. They combined them into an animal, worshipped it, and dreamed that one day they could have such a skill of going to heaven and going to earth. Dragon represents the precious spirit of the Chinese nation to strive for self-improvement, conquer nature, improve itself and transform nature. Are there really dragons in the world? Ren Dianyuan, a late Dulbert, claimed to have seen dragons; Shanghai Ma Xiaoxing studied a lot of materials and made a lot of investigations, and became more and more convinced of the existence of dragons. He said, "Why don't we re-understand the mystery of the dragon that has been explained thousands of times?" When I was a child, I heard the old man tell the story of "descending the dragon" and "saving the dragon". Reporters never laughed them off, thinking that these stories were just gossip circulated by the people. Until165438+1October 25th, Ren Qing, deputy director of the propaganda department of Dulbert County Committee, solemnly told reporters: "My father has seen a real dragon." Ren Lao recalled: I have seen a real dragon. My father Ren Baijin led me (Ren Dianyuan, then 27 years old) and fishermen Cong Laishun (43 years old) and Sheba (38 years old) to sail out of the river to fish. We sail outside the river for as little as three to five days and as much as ten days. We also took four boats and 10 people sailed out of the river. This morning, our boat sailed to Mudanjiang (a section of Songhua River), which is located at the northwest of Zhaoyuan County 15 km. We suddenly found that there were many people around the back of Chenjiaweizi Village, which was estimated to be four times that of the whole village. We docked the boat and asked a man on the shore. He told us in a low voice, "The black dragon of Heilongjiang landed on the beach!" " Hearing the news, we were both excited and nervous. Father said, "surfing the internet on fish is not bad." Let's go and see! " Five boats/kloc-more than 0/0 people all landed, and we almost ran there. Seeing that scene, all the old "osprey" like my father were shocked. But I saw a huge black animal lying on the beach. It's too big! Chen Jiaweizi's people built a shed on it with wicker, which is more than 20 meters long. It is 10 meter long, with a thin head and neck, the size of a small bull's head, slightly square, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. There is no fork on the head, flat shovel-like angle, like a horn, short and straight, with a root of about 654. It's still shaking. Its mouth looks like that of a catfish. It is flat and wide, and its mouth is more than 30 centimeters long. When it is closed, it can't see its teeth and tongue. It closes its eyes and there are a group of flies around its eyes. When its eyelids moved, the fly buzzed away. It has four claws, but it is not clear how many toes there are in its claws, because its claws are deeply inserted into the beach. The estimated diameter exceeds 1 m. The back of the hind leg is the tail, which is thinner than the front, but very long, with a foot of eight or nine meters. The whole image is like a huge four-legged snake (called horse snake in Northeast China, that is, lizard). It is covered with scales, and the scales on its back are iron blue, as big as an ice tray and similar in shape to carp scales. The scales on its belly and claws are pink and white. And slightly smaller than the scales on the back. The scales on the back are dry, like dried fish. Lots of flies fly around it. It shakes the balance from time to time and makes a dry "click" sound. Every time it rings, the fly flies with a snort. As soon as the sound stopped, the fly fell again. Its smell is so strong that it can be smelled hundreds of meters away. There has been a long ditch lying under it, and all the tender weeds around it have been trampled down by it. Unfortunately, you can't see what footprints look like. There are only more than 20 families in the Chenjia paddock, with a total of more than 60 people, but there are more than 300 people present. It turns out that Ren Jialiang is nearby. People from several villages, such as Shangwozi, are here. They should bring buckets, jars and tools for holding water. They are all under the command of Jin Gyeong, the pseudo village head of Chen Jiaweizi. Jin Gyeong forbids people to call it a "dragon", but only a "water bug". According to Jin Gyeong, he was here yesterday afternoon, but there was nothing. Someone saw this "water bug" this morning, which means it was lying last night. Then let people carry water and pour it on the "water worm" As soon as the water is poured, the scales on the "water bug" will shake, so people water the "water bug" with buckets. Sheba said, "Look, its neck is more like a horse's neck! This guy is very fat. Just kill him and eat meat. " After watching it for more than an hour, my father said, "Let's go and see it tomorrow." In this way, we reluctantly got on the boat. On the boat, everyone kept talking. Cong Laishun said: "If this' water bug' has no tail, it is Lao Li with a bald tail in Heilongjiang." Xie overbearing: "This. Everyone didn't even catch the fish. It rained heavily that afternoon and turned into a rainstorm at night. It rained all night, sometimes slowly, sometimes urgently. The next morning it turned into Mao Mao rain. After five ships went straight to Chenjiaweizi Village, our hearts were cold when we went there! Only a deep ditch where the "Black Dragon" once lay, the sand still exudes a strong smell. According to local people, Shuichong left in the middle of the night. No one knows how and where it went, because it is impossible for anyone to wait for it on a rainy night. But we clearly see that there is a deep ditch in the northeast of the sand ditch where it is located, which was obviously made when it was erected. This can only be a guess. Later, when we went fishing there, we heard the local people whispering that the Japanese had blocked the news and forbade people to talk about it everywhere. Since then, few people have mentioned it again. It's been more than 40 years now, and we still don't know what animal it is, but the scene more than 40 years ago is still vivid. Just like what happened yesterday ... This story was published in the column of "Wonders on Earth" in Volume 3, No.4 of Selected Books at Home and Abroad, edited and published by Shanghai People's Publishing House on June 5438+0989 12, with the title "The Black Dragon I Saw". Dulbert dictated to Ren Dianyuan, a retired cadre of Shan Dairy Farm. Ren Qingchun arranged in the Dulbert Museum. Ren Dianyuan died in early March. 1994. At the same time, this manuscript was published in Notes at Home and Abroad, and Ren Qingchun wrote a letter to the editorial department. Editor:/kloc-It was my idea to write this article 0/0 years ago, because my father saw the dragon with his own eyes, which gave me a great shock. I always thought it should be recorded and recorded. This will be a very precious material. It has been more than 40 years, and many witnesses of that year have passed away. For example, Cong Laishun and Xie Ba in the manuscript have long passed away, and even my father is 73 years old. But he is in good spirits and is not confused at all. He talked about it as if it had happened yesterday. I wonder if Zhaoyuan county records this matter. But I believe there are witnesses like my father near Chenjiaweizi. This is the first time I have disclosed it to the newspaper. Although I heard about it from my father a long time ago, I doubted the truth of it at that time. 1986 I went to Zhaoyuan county on business and stayed in an individual hostel opposite the county hostel. An old man in my roommate talked to me about it at night, and the story was exactly the same as my father's. He replied that it was Chen Jiaweizi, 77 years old (unfortunately, I forgot to ask my name). He is also one of the witnesses, personally carrying water and pouring water for the black dragon. Through this, I believe that my father is telling the truth. Ren Qingchun conducted four surveys: Is this a fact? Is this all true? In order to prove the reliability of this experience, Ren Qing put forward four arguments: first, he was only six or seven years old when he first heard his father tell this story, and the impatient expression on his mother's face showed that it was already a cliche. If it was not the real thing that strongly stimulated the old man, he would not tell this story again; Second, my father is old party member. He is honest and kind, and is by no means a man who talks nonsense. He doesn't believe in ghosts and gods and is open-minded. He was the first to lead the masses to tear down temples and smash idols in the 1940s. His father would never have stated it repeatedly if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes. Third, when he stayed in a small hotel in Zhaoyuan County, an old man told the same story. 4. The black dragon seen by Ren Dianyuan on the south bank of Songhua River is 10 meters long and "shaped like a big horse snake", commonly known as lizard. Surprisingly, some characters of "dragon" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions look like lizards, as do some painted pottery patterns in Neolithic age. If you don't see the "dragon" with your own eyes, how can you only have Ren Dianyuan, a junior? The ancient "dragon falling" incident was recorded more than once in ancient books, and its description was similar to his father's. How did his father know the specific descriptions of "dragon falling" scattered in ancient books that even experts and scholars never mentioned? Many people are looking at this matter with a scientific attitude. In order to verify the truth of Ren Dianyuan's statement, some people, represented by Ma Xiaoxing, editor-in-chief of Shanghai Beach magazine, also conducted a field survey. From 65438 to 0992, Ma Xiaoxing listed the outline of scientific investigation, entrusted Ren Qingchun to make a detailed textual research on Ren Dianyuan's statement, and finally confirmed some details of the "Dragon Falling" incident. Ren Qingchun showed it to Ren Dianyuan. Crocodile pictures, as a result, the old man showed some interest in the pictures of Alloodon (a dinosaur). He thinks that if the sail on the animal's back is removed, it will look a bit like the "black dragon" he saw, but the mouth of the "black dragon" is closed, shaped like a catfish, with a beard on its mouth, horns on its head and a slightly longer neck. The whole body is covered with fish scales. 1992 10, Dai Huaiming of Harbin Publishing House, entrusted by Ma Xiaoxing, went to Rendianyuanjia, Fuyu District, Songyuan City, Jilin Province on the south bank of Songhua River (Chen Jiaweizi was under the jurisdiction of this city), and roughly determined the original site of Chen Jiaweizi Village, which was demobilized in the 1960s. 5438+0994 spring. Among the dozens of people interviewed, many old people confirmed that the "Dragon Falling" incident did occur on the south bank of Songhua River and during the period of the Puppet Manchukuo. There is also a fake village head, Chen Qingqi, and an old woman who lives in the same village as Jin Gyeong even testified that Jin Gyeong personally said that he led people to save dragons. Similar to the "dragon falling" incident mentioned by Ren Dianyuan, it happened more than once or twice in Zhaoyuan and Fuyu. 1994 In the spring of the same year, Cui Wanlu, the stationmaster of Guqia Township Cultural Station in Zhaoyuan County, was entrusted by Ma Xiaoxing to investigate in Fenghua Township, Fuyu District, and found another old man who claimed to have witnessed the "falling dragon" incident. Moreover, many people have confirmed that Jin Gyeong organized everyone to save the dragon. Horse's point of view: dragons are rare animals. According to historical legends, Modern Chinese Dictionary (version 1983) defines "dragon" as a miraculous animal in ancient legends of China, which has a long body, scales, horns, feet, walking, flying and swimming. People are deeply confused about this. Some people have searched all the biological data at home and abroad, but they can't find an animal that meets the above definition. Therefore, a conclusion that is not too rash naturally comes to the conclusion that the dragon is just a deified thing. Some people even call it "the masterpiece of biological hypothesis". Ma Xiaoxi, a 49-year-old archaeologist and paleontologist, has been consulting for more than ten years to study dragons. He did a lot of research. He believes that dragons were once rare animals and were deified by people. The dragon's "hypothesis" drawn from empty imagination can cover thousands of years of culture in China, and it can get worse and worse, which is somewhat incredible. Throughout China's ancient books, poems, essays, even philosophical works and political papers, the image of dragons is everywhere. Sima Qian, a historian who has always been cautious about bizarre ancient legends, also recorded in Historical Records that there was a person who specialized in raising dragons in the Xia Dynasty, named Yulong Shi. There are countless records about "dragon falling" in historical books of past dynasties. Ma Xiaoxing firmly believes in the existence of dragons. He said: "From the historical records of different dynasties, Ren Dianyuan described his personal experience on the Songhua River from 65438 to 0944. There is such a strange animal that can walk, fly and swim in the world, and our thinking has to turn. When we think that something we are familiar with is revealing its truth in some way, why don't we change our eyes and re-recognize the dragon mystery that has been explained thousands of times? "
