The dragon can be said to be the totem of every dynasty in the history of China. From modern film and television dramas, we can see that the ancient emperors all claimed to be the real dragon emperors, but today we still say that they are descendants of the dragon. So do dragons really exist?
Do dragons exist?
I'm afraid no one has ever seen a dragon in reality. However, most people's impression of dragons is a mixture of various animals. For example, dragons have antlers, camel heads, rabbit eyes, snake heads, fish scales and so on, which are the characteristics of other animals.
Then the question comes, why do animals have such animal characteristics? This is obviously unreasonable. Second, animals evolved from lower organisms to higher organisms. First there were fish, and then they evolved into amphibians and reptiles. Eventually they will evolve into birds.
Birds can fly, so can dragons. But dragons obviously do not belong to birds. After all, dragons have too many characteristics. But the characteristics of dragons are not only the characteristics of all animals, but also the mysterious color endowed by future generations. Now most people think that dragons belong to God.
Dragons have many animal characteristics. In nature, people have never seen such animals. But the problem is that although people have never seen it, many ancient books are related to the records of dragons. One of the most familiar is that the ancient emperor is a symbol of the dragon.
But it is only a symbol of the emperor, and has nothing to do with later generations saying that the dragon is a dragon. Dragons can fly freely in the sky, but they have no wings. This animal must have shocked future generations, but it also violated the laws of nature. Nowadays, birds in nature can only fly with wings.
Dragons can go to heaven and do anything. I'm afraid there are no such animals in nature. In ancient society, dragons represented imperial power. In ancient times, the image of the dragon could only appear on certain things of the royal family. From this point of view, dragons may have been invented by people at that time. But there seems to be something wrong with this method.
For example, one dynasty invented the dragon, then the subsequent dynasties will certainly not invent the dragon. It seems unreasonable that another dynasty might invent another magical animal. Nowadays, there seems to be a dragon in history, but this dragon was exaggerated by the ancients.
Now, some people think that the snake is a dragon, or its predecessor is a dragon. In the long history, dragons degenerated into snakes. Of course, this is only a small number of people's opinions. The existence of dragons is still controversial in history. This will be discovered by future generations.
But according to the current research, it can be said that there should be dragons in history, but the historical records are exaggerated. For example, if the giraffe dies in the future, how can the giraffe be recorded in ancient history books? It may be described as follows: there is an ancient thing that looks like a horse, leopard print, high head, long neck like a platoon, feeds on leaves, is gentle, and fights with its neck.
It is certainly not surprising that people see such animals nowadays. After all, we know this is a giraffe. Will future generations be shocked to see this description thousands of years later? How can there be an animal that looks like a horse, has a leopard print, has a high head and a neck as long as a pillar, and feeds on leaves? This is obviously unreasonable. Now it seems that the dragon should exist in history, but later generations have not found its prototype.
Xiaolong incident in 1934
1934 In the summer, it rained heavily for several days in Yingkou City, Liaoning Province. Liaohe River flows from Yingkou to Bohai Bay. The continuous rainstorm caused the water level in Liaohe River to rise rapidly. After the rain stopped, a villager in Tianzhuangtai found a monster among the reeds near Liaohe River. According to his description of this monster, its shape is similar to the dragon in the picture, with claws and horns.
The monster fell into the reed and was dying. The villagers were startled and hurried back to the village to call others. With reverence for Tian Shenglong, the villagers took water from the bucket and gave it to the dragons. When I went to see it again the next day, I found that the dragon was gone. A few days later, someone found this dragon on Yahui Island, which is only a few kilometers away from Tianzhuangtai. This dragon is worse than before. Many places on my body are scorched by the sun, giving off a rotten stench. And the dragon, also issued a howl like a cow. In this way, the dragon died in the sun on Yalu Island, and its body was taken away by the local police. After being taken away, it was taken to the exhibition. Because there was only one skeleton left, the skeleton was taken to the exhibition. At that time, many people went to see it, and some people are still alive. Although they are very old, according to their memory, the keel has 28 knots, the head has two long horns and the mouth is very long. Just look at the skeleton, like the dragon in everyone's mind.
At that time, Shengjing Daily, which was very famous in the three northeastern provinces, also specially reported this matter. However, soon after the exhibition ended, it stopped. No one saw the keel again, and no one knew where it went. Now some people say it is not a dragon. How can there be dragons in the world? It must be a baleen whale or something. Because of the heavy rain in summer, the water in the Bohai Sea flooded into the Liaohe River, so the baleen whales in the sea ran aground on the Liaohe River.
Although the locals are fishermen, they should know each other if they are fin whales. So it's still a suspect. Is it a dragon? There are all kinds of theories. The key is that we can't find the keel now, so the question is, where is the keel? This dragon was found in 1934, during the puppet Manchukuo period. Could it be that the Japanese smuggled it back to Japan?
There are different views on the dragon incident. Some people think that the grounding of the dragon represents the symbol of the Chinese nation being plundered. Sounds as mysterious as silk. If a catastrophe happens in a sacred way in a country, there will be some omens before it, or strange phenomena that are rare in the Millennium.
Dragon fossils were unearthed in 1987.
1987, a site was unearthed in Puyang, Henan Province. There are no amazing funerary objects in this place, but some small animals are piled up by small shells, but the shapes of these shells have shocked the world.
There is a male skeleton in the grave. Male height 1.84, head facing south and feet facing north. On the right is the shape of a dragon with shells, and its front paws are pedaling on its back, which looks like roaming on the sea. On the right, there is a tiger. His eyes are wide open, like a tiger going down the mountain. This display mode is consistent with the black dragon in the East Palace and the white tiger in the West Palace in four astronomical images.
In addition, there are dragon and tiger riding teams in the southeast, which is consistent with the legend that the Yellow Emperor rode a dragon to heaven, and Zhuan Xu and Lapras traveled all over the world. There are some small mussels scattered around, just like the stars on the sun and the moon. Although there are not many things unearthed, it proves that dragons existed as early as 6400 years ago, which undoubtedly caused a sensation in the field of national history.
So what's your different view on the existence of dragons?
