What are the characteristics of dragons?

One of the characteristics of dragons: tolerance and integration

The dragon's body is tolerant and powerful, and its posture is huge and unparalleled. Inhale a cloud, you can turn water into fire, you can be a sea of people, you can travel in space.

The so-called tolerance and integration means harmony, fairness, balance and justice. It can be said that the basic feature of dragon culture is tolerance. Without tolerance, there would be no giant of the Oriental Dragon. There is not a Chinese nation that accounts for a quarter of the world. Tolerance has brought many primitive people into one family and formed great unity. It has formed the aesthetic trend that China people regard greatness as beauty: the country values greatness, officials are proud of greatness, the family values greatness, the people respect greatness, and things are different. In China people's manners and manners, they all show the characteristics of being proud of being a great beauty. The wedding should be big, and the bigger it is, the more ostentation and extravagance it is; The grander the funeral, the more glorious it is, the more filial and loyal it is. Praise people's courage, and then say: "great wisdom and courage"; When you say the meaning of man, you say "benevolence is great"; If you praise others, say: "big hand" and "famous"; If you praise a person's work, you will say "masterpiece"; If you respect a person's position, you will say "adult"; When you say a man of insight, you say a gentleman. Secular names such as big brother, big sister, big sister, uncle, uncle, giving birth to a son called a big fat man, giving birth to a girl called a big girl, and even calling a mobile phone a mobile phone are all respect and worship for "big".

The second characteristic of the dragon: hazy and implicit.

The so-called "hazy subtlety" is vague and profound. The appearance of the dragon is often accompanied by clouds, with its tail exposed and always refusing to show its true colors. Xu Shen's Shuo Wen Jie Zi said: The length of the dragon forest (insect) can be quiet and clear, fine and huge, long and short, with the vernal equinox reaching the sky and the autumnal equinox diving deep. Tell about the hazy and implicit characteristics of dragons. As the saying goes, the dragon sees the head and does not see the tail. Therefore, "the cloud follows the dragon, the wind follows the tiger, the dragon rises from the cloud, and the tiger roars at the wind." This performance of dragons is the introversion and etiquette of China people.

Tolerance and integration have made China great, and also made China people's specific recessive psychology, mentality and character. For example, in feudal society, it is necessary to marry a wife through a matchmaker. Finally, I carried my daughter-in-law to the door. I still don't know what her daughter-in-law looks like. The so-called marriage follows the chicken, and marriage follows the dog. For example, visit relatives and friends, such as "Have you eaten?" If you don't eat, stick to it. The vague implication is to accommodate the two poles, and the Taiji diagram in the gossip is the change of yin and yang. It can be said that it is also a balanced relationship diagram. In fact, it is a yin-yang fish, which is an early primitive dragon and phoenix pattern. We should have both this and that, and we should have the spirit of inclusiveness and inclusiveness. The so-called "a wise man makes a close mouth" and "a wise man and a fool" all mean keeping a low profile. In ancient China, people with great wisdom, skills and achievements were tolerant and reserved. In other words, people who want to achieve great things must have inclusive and implicit spiritual cultivation.

The third characteristic of the dragon: changeable ingenuity

In the Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi wrote a wonderful "Dragon Fu", which revealed the magic of the dragon-"The dragon is something that can be combined and dispersed, showing its potential, weak and strong, and can be slightly powerful. You can't see it, you can't know its direction, but you can't be an animal. So it is different from cattle and sheep. If you are unpredictable and don't obey the rules, you will often hurt people, but in the end, you will hurt people. That's why you are kind. Benevolent people often lose themselves, but they lose themselves before they start. That's why you're smart. If you stop, you will be safe. If you know your child's actions during the day, you will benefit a lot. If you know your time of day, you will know your time. But will dragons eventually disappear? Say: taste it with the person you like. " In short, the dragon is a great strategist, a great strategist.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao and Liu Bei talked about heroes, and there was a wonderful description of dragons: "Dragons can be big or small, and they can be raised or hidden. Dance when you are older, and hide when you are younger. Soaring in the universe when rising, lurking in the waves when hiding. " After listening to Cao Cao's explanation, Liu Xuande left Cao Cao the next day to prevent Cao Cao from plotting against him.

Militarily, Sun Bin, a military strategist more than 2,000 years ago, skillfully used the magical power of the dragon to create a situation in which the enemy advanced and retreated, and the enemy retreated and pursued. The strategic theory of attacking when the enemy is weak and disturbing when the enemy is tired has left an immortal monument in the military history of China. In modern times, Mao Zedong made full use of this tactic, defeated Chiang Kai-shek's 8 million troops, drove away Japanese imperialism and established a new China.

In the field of martial arts, "Long Bian" has created many martial arts schools named after dragons-the dragon fist of Emei Monk Gate and Liuhe Boxing, the dragon fist of Shaolin Five Boxing, the dragon fist of Xingyi Boxing, the dragon fist of Nanpai, the oolong twisting column of ground boxing, the tail flick of Nanquan, the dragon out of Taiji Chuan and the dragon waist of Sun Bin Boxing. It can be seen that "Dragon Spirit" is widely used in China Wushu.

The mystery of dragons is endless, and everything is in it. China's Confucian culture occupies an important position, which is enough for a gentleman to be the Tao, while China Shenlong is famous for its ups and downs. Confucian culture emphasizes virtue, while the dragon's spiritual focus is to achieve great things, which must be full of great strategy, wisdom and courage.

Feature 4: Brave and fearless

The shape of the dragon is magnificent, the lines are tortuous, and the momentum of holding your head high always makes people feel that it is bravely moving forward, and selflessly invites you to travel around the universe to inspect everything in the world and observe the beautiful scenery on earth.

It is not only a symbol of national self-mind, but also a symbol of imperial power and morality in feudal society. It not only shows the dignity and domineering of Emperor China, but also reflects the great power of the Chinese nation to show its virtue in the world. In the traditional concept of China people, the dragon is always the leader of the world, and China is always the center of the world. As an individual, the surface form of China people is not magical, but as a whole, a dragon is fearless and invincible. The World Cultural Center can only be located in China, so it is called China.

In Dragon Drive, the dragon claw is an eagle claw and the palm is Tiger Claw. As we all know, the eagle in the sky is the king of birds, and it is very fierce. It rushed down from the cliff and took away dozens of pounds of prey on the ground. The tiger is the king of all animals on the earth, and its ferocity, grandeur, tolerance and bravery are incomparable to any animal. The dragon has the superhuman ability of two kings, the air and the ground. I don't think any monster in the world can escape the dragon's eyes. It is the duty of the dragon to strengthen the body and suppress evil. If the country wants to be rich and strong, enterprises want to develop, and citizens want Taian, they must be escorted by dragons; The country should be unified and the nation should be United. Brave, tenacious and fearless, loong has maintained the unity, unity and dignity of the country for thousands of years. Some people dare to disregard the interests of the country and the nation, and if they want to split, they will be severely punished by loong's claws and teeth.

The fifth feature: respecting morality, being innovative and enterprising.

As we know, from the very beginning, loong absorbed, integrated and embraced many snake-based totems, such as camel's head, bull's ear, rabbit's eye, fish scale, salamander's belly, eagle's claw, Tiger Claw, antlers and snake body. In fact, it also has the characteristics of horse head, dog loyalty, turtle longevity, pig mouth and sheep beard. For more than 8,000 years, loong persisted in expelling the old, absorbing the new and constantly improving itself until the Qing Dynasty finalized the Golden Dragon with Five Claws. Still absorbing new things, new things. So the dragon is open and keeps pace with the times.

Tolerance has made the dragon huge, and tolerance has made China's 5,000-year civilization. Loong has produced a large number of sages. In history, there were saints such as Fu, Nuwa, Huangdi, You, Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, Lao Zi and Confucius. Tolerance has produced emperors such as Qin Shihuang, Han Wudi, Li Shimin, Genghis Khan and Kangxi who made great contributions to the country and the nation, and nurtured national elites such as Yue Fei, Wen Tianxiang and Zheng Chenggong. Times make heroes, and heroes add color to the times. When the era has a transformation process and subconscious thinking operation, a new idea comes into being, which is the myth of "making the finishing point". "Famous Paintings of Past Dynasties" wrote: In the Southern Dynasties, a painter named Zhang Sangmian painted several white dragons on the wall of Jinling Anle House, with no eyes. Someone asked him why he didn't draw eyes. He said: As long as you draw eyes, the dragon will break through the wall and fly away. People didn't believe him and forced him to try. He was a little older, and sure enough, two dragons added sparkling eyes at the same time. In a flash, thunder and lightning, two dragons went empty. Two dragons without eyes are still lying stiffly on the wall.

In this story, it reflects the past and future of the nation, and reflects the worship and expectation of the people of China for saints and capable people. Painting dragons symbolizes a silent nation, which needs eyes to soar. These eyes are saints, capable people, national elites and sages with high IQ. Many wise men and capable people listed above have created people's ideal prosperity. It makes "the sun and the moon compete for glory, the wind and rain come, and the people look forward to it." The times call for saints, sages and national elites. If the country wants to be rich and strong and the nation wants to revitalize, it needs saints, sages, capable people and elites-the eyes of national wisdom, the dragon takes off, the society is stable and the nation is strong. In today's era, loong's rapid development depends on the soul of the nation, that is, the individual of the nation to the whole. Each of us is a pen of wisdom, which lights up the eyes of the dragon.
