Descendants of the Chinese nation are called "descendants of dragons", which come from ancient totems and legends. The core of totem worship is that an animal has a certain blood relationship with its own clan and is the ancestor and relative of the clan, so it is also regarded as the symbol, symbol and protector of the clan. Dragon is the product of totem worship peculiar to China. According to archaeological research, it is a dragon totem sublimated from snake body, horse head, antlers, eagle claws and fish scales. Since ancient times, the Huaxia nationality with snakes as its totem has formed a * * * totem with horses, deer, sheep and eagles as its totem through long-term integration with the surrounding ethnic tribes. In ancient times, dragons condensed and precipitated people's thoughts, feelings, expectations and beliefs, and became the totem of the ancestor of the Chinese nation. With the progress of history, the dragon has also evolved and sublimated into a kind of * * * same concept and ideology. It has become a symbol of the Chinese national spirit. The dragon symbolizes the Chinese nation, and the Chinese nation is associated with the dragon. As a result, the legend of "born by feeling heaven" has emerged around the dragon, and the ancestors of the Chinese nation, such as the Yellow Emperor, Yao and others, have become the embodiment of the dragon. In this way, the descendants of the Chinese nation have become descendants of the dragon.
As for the dragon, as a symbol of the Chinese nation, how did it become a symbol of feudal autocratic emperors by becoming attached to the emperor? This is of course related to the ancestor's worship of God's assistant dragon, but more importantly, it is closely related to the characteristics of imperial power in China feudal society. As we all know, in ancient China, the family was a patriarchal society with the same structure as the state, and the state was home. "All over the world, is it the land of kings?" The emperor regarded the country as his own, and the dragon was a symbol of the Chinese nation and ancient China. Therefore, in the autocratic feudal society, since Qin Shihuang was called the "ancestor dragon" and Liu Bangshi officially appeared as a synonym for the emperor, emperors of all dynasties thought that "the dragon is the sovereign", so they all fell in love with this totem representing the Chinese nation and began to call themselves "the real dragon emperor", so the image of the dragon became the representative and symbol of the emperor. Then some words with dragon characters gradually became special words for emperors. For example, before the emperor ascended the throne or among the people (mostly the founding monarch), it was called "Long Gan", when the new dynasty was established, it was called "Long Xing", when the emperor ascended the throne, it was called "Dragon Tian Bin", when the emperor appeared, and when he died, it was called "Yu Long Tian Bin", that is, Lapras ascended to heaven.
