Differences between Japanese Dragon Image and Dragon Image

Before the Yuan Dynasty, there should be no difference. They are all imported from China, and there is basically no difference. There was less communication after the Yuan Dynasty, so it was a little different. In terms of style, China's dragons are more magnificent, while Japanese dragons are more quaint and mysterious. But the dragon itself is no different, all parts are the same.

But the Japanese often confuse dragons with other creatures similar to dragons, and call some monsters dragons.

In fact, there were similar scenes in ancient China. Dragons are not only gods and ancestors, but also a powerful beast and a very powerful monster. Later, it was subdivided, and monsters like dragons became jiaozi, neon and bricks. Dragons are subdivided into dragons, scorpions, scorpions, dragons, scorpions, scorpions and so on. There are many kinds, many of which are contradictory. Only ancient naturalists can understand this. But generally speaking, in China, people who are qualified to be called dragons are all born with the essence of heaven and earth, born with all the magic and essence between heaven and earth, extremely powerful, and follow the "avenue" between heaven and earth. Cao Cao once said: dragons can be big or small, can be raised or hidden; It's cloudy and foggy when it's big, and it's hidden when it's small; Rise and fly in the universe, hide and lurk in the waves. This spring is deep, dragons change with time, Jews succeed and travel all over the world. The dragon is a thing, comparable to the hero in the world.
