Therefore, dragons can only be used by the royal family, and people can't use them casually. But in some ancient documents, there have been many records about dragons.
At first, many people thought that the ancients remembered wrong. Obviously, the ancient people's understanding of biology can't be compared with that of modern people. Many sacred creatures described by the ancients have different names, but their essence is similar.
But in my opinion, this statement is unreasonable. The ancients were able to distinguish dragons from other creatures. In some early records, the ancients clearly divided many creatures. All the records about these animals are illustrated, so it is impossible to say that they are wrong. Dragons appeared in culture very early, and each dynasty described them differently.
In the early days, dragons had animal bodies. With the development of the times, the dragon has become an image that people are accustomed to today. Because every dynasty had a clear understanding of dragons, these literati with the highest level of education at that time would not admit their mistakes. Therefore, the dragon was a possible creature at that time. Modern people deny the existence of dragons, mainly because its existence is illogical.
According to the description of the dragon, it is difficult to exist such creatures in the biological chain. If you want to survive, you must have a good living environment and enough food. There are not many places in the natural environment that can provide these conditions for dragons. Without the foundation of living conditions, dragons cannot exist.
In addition, so far, there is no real thing about dragons. Dinosaurs have disappeared for a long time, so how do people recognize the existence of dinosaurs? These are dinosaur fossils unearthed in various places. These fossils are the physical evidence left by dinosaurs after their death.
It is because of the actual evidence that people can believe that dinosaurs really exist. Proving the existence of dragons is actually very simple, as long as there is physical proof of dragons. But so far, no physical evidence of dragons has been found in nature or some unearthed things. Taken together, dragons are probably fictional creatures.
However, in my opinion, there has never been any evidence to deny the existence of dragons. Why it has been controversial is because people have neither evidence nor evidence to prove the existence of dragons.
This is the most controversial place. I think dragons do exist. After all, different species are dying out in these years. For example, elephants lived in China's Yellow River valley and other places in the early days. Now we can't see elephants. If we tell northerners now that this used to be the place where elephants lived, it is estimated that not many people will believe it.
Then the dragon in the eyes of the ancients may also be an extinct creature. The early dragons were not so mysterious. They looked like an ancient creature. This creature may have existed at that time, but people don't know much about it, so its image may be distorted in all kinds of paintings and records about dragons.
In China culture, many creatures are described by freehand brushwork, and there will be some processing. Many creatures described are different from the real image.
But today, the exploration of dragons has never stopped, but the harvest is quite limited, which is understandable, because dragons are treasures, so it is difficult for them to have a complete body.
The ancients in China liked some magical animals very much. After the death of the dragon, many people colluded and took away many objects on it. Therefore, even if there is a dragon, it is difficult to leave any remains, leaving some mutilated limbs, which makes people believe that it is a dragon.
