Three legendary dragon slayers in history: 1 became the founding emperor, and the third one was even worse, killing dragons in his sleep.

What is a dragon? There seems to be no answer so far, because no one has ever seen a dragon. Until now, dragons still exist in legends. Although we have never seen a dragon, as China people, we are no strangers to dragons, and even have some fixed impressions and images for a long time: bull's head, antlers, eyes like shrimp, claws like eagle, body like snake, tail like lion, monsters with scales and armor all over.

Moreover, we all consider ourselves descendants of the dragon. In our minds, the dragon has risen to totem worship and fetishism, and the emperor said that it is the real dragon emperor. So, has anyone seen dragons in history?

Anyway, people in history have seen dragons and had sex with them. The following three people are exactly the same as recorded in the history books.

The first one is Liu Bang.

We are no strangers to Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Western Han Dynasty. Liu bang came from a very low background, a peasant class background, a rogue in the modern sense, and some people say that he is a rogue emperor. What we are curious about is that this rascal actually became an emperor.

Then, why did Liu Bang change from a rogue to an emperor? There is a saying that Liu Bang killed the dragon when he saw it. This matter is recorded in Historical Records.

Liu Bang, who was poor at that time, somehow got a small position and later became the son-in-law of Lv Gong, a rich man in Peixian County.

Later, as the curator, Liu Bang escorted his disciples to Lishan for surabaya county. Before they reached their destination, they fled and died. It is estimated that when we reach Mount Li, he will be left alone, and it is also a dead end.

So, when he got to Mangdang Mountain, he simply let these workers go. However, some of these people did not leave and volunteered to follow Liu Bang. They think Liu Bang is trustworthy and has a bright future. So Liu Bang ate and drank with everyone, and Liu Bang, who was drunk, took everyone around through a swamp at night. Suddenly a man ran back in a panic and said, "There is a big snake on the road ahead."

At that time, Liu Bang was already drunk and said, "There is nothing to be afraid of when a gentleman walks!" So he rushed to the front and drew his sword to cut the snake. The serpent was split in two, the road was opened, and it continued for several miles. However, Liu Bang was so drunk that he lay on the ground.

Then people came and saw an old woman crying in the dark. So I asked the old woman why she was crying. The old woman said, "My son is Bai Di's son. He turned into a snake and stood in the middle of the road. Now he was killed by Chi Di's son, so he cried. "

Everyone thought the old woman was lying and was about to hit her, but suddenly she disappeared without a trace. Everyone was surprised, and then everyone followed Liu Bang to make a revolution.

The snake here is a snake on the surface, but it is actually a dragon, the son of Bai Di and the son of the dragon. Nature is a dragon, so Liu Bang killed the dragon. After killing the dragon, Liu Bang began to rise in his official career and eventually became an emperor.

The second place is the beginning of the week.

At the beginning of the week, we are no strangers. This person's name is already in the textbook. He is the son of Zhou Fu, the prefect of Poyang. At the beginning of the week, because of his well-off family background and "unparalleled brawn", he developed a gentleman and a bully from an early age. Later, his father Zhou Biao died young and became an orphan at the beginning of the week. Without his father's control, he is even more arrogant.

As a result, the village suffered, was reviled by the villagers and became a thorn in the side of the villagers. People call him, along with the dragon in the water, the tiger in the mountain and the three evils, especially around him.

Then one day, Zhou Chu was in high spirits. When he was shopping, he heard an old farmer sighing, so he asked the elders in the village: "This year's harvest is so good, why are you so unhappy?"

The old man sighed: "How can we be happy if the three evils are not removed?" At the beginning of the week, he was well aware of this, but he still knowingly committed it. His father had to say, "The white-fronted beast in Nanshan, the dumpling under the long bridge, and the three evils are juxtaposed."

Hearing this, Zhou Chu was very embarrassed and suddenly felt very sorry, so he vowed to eliminate pests. He went into the mountains to shoot wild animals, jumped into the water to fight the dragon for three days and three nights, and drifted for dozens of miles, and there was no news.

The villagers thought Zhou Chu was dead, and they all celebrated each other. Seeing this situation at the beginning of the week when he returned to his hometown after killing Xiaolong, he really felt isolated, so he went to the writers Lu Ji and Lu Yun brothers at that time, hoping to help him turn over a new leaf. Inspired by Lu Yun, he decided to learn from others at the beginning of the week, and he was like a different person from then on. Later, he served as an imperial minister in the Jin Dynasty, led troops to fight and died in the line of duty.

"Ganxian Annals" records: "In the fifth year of Jin Taikang (285), Qi Wannian led 70,000 soldiers to attack Jin from the east, and thousands of soldiers were defeated at the foot of Liangshan Mountain on Friday, making a heroic sacrifice."

This is the second person recorded as a dragon slayer in history. So, did you kill the dragon at the beginning of the week? The truth is not important.

The third place is Wei Zhi.

Wei Zhi is a famous remonstrator in the history of China, but unlike Zhou Chu and Liu Bang, Wei Zhi did not kill dragons in reality, but in his dreams.

According to historical data and records in The Journey to the West's two novels, The Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, there was a dragon in the Jinghe River near Chang 'an. Because it violated the dogma, the Jade Emperor sent Wei Zhi to cut off its head.

The dragon was afraid, so he went to see Emperor Taizong in human form and asked for his help. Emperor Taizong said yes. Later, Emperor Taizong summoned Wei Zhi in 183 1 and trapped Wei Zhi beside him. But Wei Zhi still has the means to do it. He deliberately fell asleep while playing chess with Emperor Taizong, and then his soul went out of his body. In his dream, he helped the jade emperor kill the dragon and kill it.

After this incident, Emperor Taizong was killed by dragons every night. No way, Emperor Taizong had to ask Weichi Gong to put on armor on both sides of the palace gate every night and guard it. The story also evolved into a guard.

These are the three real dragon butchers in the history of China, and their stories are still celebrated today. Whether they slaughtered real dragons or fake dragons, the fact that they can be recorded in the history books also shows that it is not simple.
