Is the one to blame.
According to the legend of unofficial history, in a cave on the outskirts of Fuyang County, Anhui Province, there is a dragon in the cave, which is 20 feet long and has a lux horn in the middle of his forehead. His scales are black, but his belly is as white as a fish's belly. A pair of bright red eyes, coming out at night to eliminate disasters is like two big lanterns! Running for the purpose of turning dragons, I wanted to speed up the pace of cultivation by devouring creatures, so I went down the mountain to make waves near the village, and there were corpses and bones everywhere. The villagers are miserable, and people who usually go fishing in the river are afraid to go out. The villagers prayed to God that they could kill the jiaozi.
The heroic Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty
Hearing this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was so brave that he immediately led his troops here and spread all over Jiangzhou. For seven days and seven nights in a row, he was finally shot on Xunyang River, which solved the villagers' long-term distress and fear. Everyone had to refuse to accept it and crawl to the ground. Even to commemorate this event, a famous social education pagoda was built, which still stands at the top of Daguan Mountain in the west of Zongyang County. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also gained more stable popular support and imperial power through the hype of this matter. Since Emperor Gaozu cut the white snake, seeing dragons has become a common occurrence, and various versions of stories have been circulated. It can also be said that this is a mythical story of the Han Dynasty in order to consolidate the imperial power.
What is this?
There are too many records about dragons in history. Actually, let's take a good look at the data records. Jiaozi's description was recorded in "Generalized Record". "At the end of Tang Tianbao, the cattle in Zhangzhou fought in jiaozi. When the water started, jiaozi killed many people and animals, and their cows were surrounded by jiaozi for drinking. They walked straight into the bottom of the pool and touched each other. A few days later, the cow came out and the pool water was red. At that time, people called it the death of jiaozi. "
Bian Xiao believes that jiaozi here refers to crocodiles. First of all, literally, "Jiao" is similar to "Jiao". According to historical records, Jiao often makes some rotating movements when he preys on prey. In other words, when the cow was drinking water, it was attacked by jiaozi, "twisted" and finally died. Crocodiles kill their prey with their powerful biting power, spin wildly underwater, and then bite their prey, which is very similar to dumplings, and it is normal for crocodiles to meet at the riverside of Jiangnan, so it can be explained. The coke is relatively large, with something like scales, which is really like a crocodile.
In fact, Jiao's record should also be aimed at sanctifying the image of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. The official deliberately made it up, but it should actually be a crocodile. I don't know if everyone has been cheated.
