My favorite word
I like the word "dragon" the most. As soon as I saw this word, I felt like there were two giant dragons flying in front of me. Their eyes were firm, and the dragon whiskers on their heads were swinging powerfully in the wind.
Among the more than 7,000 Chinese characters, why do I prefer the word "dragon"?
Because the word "dragon" symbolizes the emperor and power, and also means auspiciousness. Because the dragon is the head of all things, the dragon is revered by the Chinese people, because the 54 Chinese ethnic groups unite like one dragon, and because the Chinese are the descendants of the dragon!
The legendary dragon specializes in controlling water and regulating wind and rain to benefit the people. Although the dragon is just a legend, it is very great and is respected by the descendants of Yan and Huang. It is the spirit of the Chinese people!
I also like the word dragon because Chinese people proudly believe that they are descendants of the dragon. The Yellow River and the Yangtze River are also like two giant dragons meandering and leaping. The turbulent Yangtze River and the Yellow River are also like the dragon's never-ending temperament. There is also the "shadow" of the dragon on the map. The Yangtze River and Chongming Island are the tongue, Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake are the claws, and the small rivers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the dragon's horns.
I also like the evolution of the word dragon, which I think is worth studying. From the "dragon" in oracle bone inscriptions to the "dragon" in bronze inscriptions, from the "dragon" in simple script to the "dragon" in seal script. From the "dragon" in official script to the "dragon" in Wei stele, there are some things worth exploring. Let's start with the oracle bone inscriptions.
The dragon in the oracle bone inscriptions is like a curved and twisting dragon. In the process of evolving into a bronze inscription, a foot-like stroke originally on the right was moved to the left and turned upside down. Therefore, in this process, the shape of the word "dragon" changed. From simple script to seal script, not only the form has completely changed, but the dragon has also become more prominent. From the "dragon" in the official script to the "dragon" in the Wei stele, it became more and more simplified, better-looking, and more perfect in all aspects of the beauty of calligraphy.
To say that I like the word "dragon", it is better to say that I like the meaning of the word "dragon", the legendary dragon; it is better to say that I like the evolution of the word "dragon", which is worthy of all of us. The evolution of research!
