Does the dragon worshipped in ancient China really exist?

Dragons definitely exist. For a simple example, 1 1 species of animals in the Chinese zodiac except dragons are real, so dragons are not fictional.

Dragons are not only real, but also were specially kept in ancient times. Their names are Huan Long and Long Yu. During the Yao and Shun period, there was a man named Dongfu who was good at raising dragons. Shun Di gave him the land of Tao Qiu and Chiron (the dragon feeder), so that he could raise dragons from generation to generation. According to Zuo Zhuan, the Xia Emperor Kong Jia was given four dragons, two women and two men, scattered in the Hanshui River of the Yellow River. But the Kongs don't know how to raise dragons, and the Huanlong family has long since declined. There was a time when no one could raise dragons alone. At this time, a man named Liu Lei said that he had learned the skill of raising dragons from Huan Long's family, and he could raise dragons. Kong Jia is very happy. Not only gave him Yulong's surname, but also gave him a piece of land.

However, Liu Lei's level was relatively poor, and one of the women was quickly raised to death by him. In order to hide people's eyes and ears, Liu Lei secretly chopped the dragon into meat paste and gave it to Kong Jia, who also thought the meat was delicious. Later, Confucius wanted to see how Liu Lei was raised by dragons. Liu Lei was afraid of being caught, so he ran away alone. In this way, dragons were not uncommon at that time. It is very close to people and can be domesticated. Its meat is delicious. It is no different from other animals. So what does the dragon look like? Er Yayi thinks that dragons have the characteristics of antlers, camel heads, rabbit eyes, snake necks, phantoms, fish scales, eagle claws, tiger hands, ox ears and many other animals. Besides, the shape of the dragon can be changed. ? "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" shows? Dragons and scale insects can be quiet and bright, thin and huge, short and long. They climb the sky at the vernal equinox and dive into the abyss at the autumnal equinox. ? From this, we can also get a message that dragons have the ability to fly and can enter the sea. The sky and the sea floor are the habitats of dragons.

During the Tang and Song Dynasties, many people saw dragons. Most of them appear in thunderstorm weather and smell fishy. But after the Tang and Song Dynasties, there were few records about dragons. Recently, the most famous one is 1934, the Dragon Waterfall in Yingkou, Liaoning Province, which caused a sensation. There is a clear picture of the dragon keel, and the horn of the dragon is clearly visible. However, the authenticity of this matter has not been confirmed. Some people think that the keel in the photo is forged with whale bones. Although there is no physical proof of the existence of the dragon, it is recorded in many historical books, so I believe that the dragon is still a creature. However, with the passage of time, the dragon has gradually faded out of human sight. This may be due to the change of natural environment, the dragon is slowly disappearing, or it is deliberately avoiding human beings in order to survive.
