Myths in ancient books

Because the original totem worship comes from the worship of nature, people in different regions and countries have different totem worship. The Oriental Dragon in China mythology is similar to the American Quetzalcoatl.

One: all his doors have snakes.

1. Oriental Dragon: We can see from the following ancient books that there are dragons in China? Does nine look like it? There seems to be a lot of debate and controversy about these nine, but one thing remains the same: Oriental dragons have snake bodies. This is a very important feature of China Oriental Dragon.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wang Chong said in Lun Heng: The secular dragon is like a horse's tail. ?

Han Shu by Ban Gu in the Eastern Han Dynasty: I thought dragons had no horns, so I called them snakes with feet and lizards. ?

2. Quetzalcoatl: The god universally believed in Central American civilization is generally depicted as a feathered snake. But as a widely believed god, his figure has also been described a lot. It is famous that the head and tail of the Gechar bird are combined with the snake's body and covered with feathers. Therefore, one of the characteristics of Quetzalcoatl is also the snake body.

Second: All other people have the right to use water.

1. Oriental Dragon: As the leader of scale insects, he is in charge of sex and rain, and is the master of weathering rain. This is an inevitable and very important demand of our farming civilization in China. Farming civilization needs rain to water crops, hoping to get a bumper harvest in a year of good weather and hard work. So his water of authority later derived the harvesting attribute. This is the simple hope of Chinese ancestors.

2. Quetzalcoatl: It has the right to sow, harvest and harvest in rainy season. This is based on the inevitable demand of the development of hunting and farming civilization in Central America, because food is the inevitable demand of the birth and evolution of culture. Only when you are full and warm can you pursue your spirit.

So it is not surprising that the Chinese dragon met the American Quetzalcoatl God. Snakes are distributed almost all over the world. There are countless kinds of snakes in the world except in extreme areas. Snakes occupy a place in the evolution of world culture. In China, Nu Wa also has the attributes of a snake, just like a white snake. European Christian Satan. Medusa, the ancient Greek snake-headed banshee. Quetzalcoatl of South America. There are snakes in the crown of the Pharaoh of Egypt. There were nagas in ancient India. So the world culture has the influence of snakes.
