Open your eyes during the day, close your eyes at night; Breathe, the world becomes winter, exhale, it becomes summer. The body winds for thousands of miles. Candle dragon is portrayed as a magical figure, integrated with the four seasons and climate in the world, as if he were the god in charge of the laws of nature. There are many theories about the origin of Candle dragon, such as the Sun Theory, the Pioneer God Theory and the Black Dragon Star Theory. At present, it is more academic and recognized by most people. Aurora said? .
First of all, opening and closing your eyes can affect the day and night of the world, which inevitably reminds people of the extreme day phenomenon in the polar regions and accords with the theory of winter and summer. And the ancients described the secluded mountain where they lived as? Ice can't see the sun, and the sky is white and cold. It is also very similar to the north. Aurora is a phenomenon existing in high latitudes in the north, and extreme day and night is also common in Mohe area. Therefore, it can be speculated that it is difficult for the ancients to explain the aurora, so they use mythical figures to explain it.
At the same time, the aurora itself is colorful, like a long dragon flying, and it is understandable for the ancients to imagine it as Jackie Chan. And the so-called? Snake body and red? It may be that the observer coincides with the rare red aurora. ? Look straight ahead? At first, Candle dragon's eyes were described as straight and long, which were different from normal eyes. According to the bronze statue unearthed in Sanxingdui, the eyes protrude from the eyeball surface, and the long and straight eyes extend outward (that is, three-dimensional rectangular eyes), which is also consistent with the pulsation phenomenon of aurora. Under all kinds of textual research, it was first put forward by the Japanese god Tian Jian II? Is Candle dragon an aurora? The point of view. Now, this statement is basically conclusive.
In the era when theoretical knowledge was relatively backward, the ancients explained natural phenomena by imagination, but now we rely on science to prove it. Perhaps there is less fantasy and magic in comparison, but it is also a deeper exploration of the world.
