Textual research on Longsheng Jiuzi

China people claim to be descendants of the dragon and take the dragon as their ancestor. The dragon has a long history in China, covering the north and south. 197 1 found a jade carving pig dragon in sanxingtala, northern inner Mongolia, which was about 6000-7000 years ago according to expert research. In the Yangshao cultural site in Anbanpo, Xi 'an, dragon patterns of pottery pots were unearthed. On the artifacts unearthed from Liangzhu culture in Wuxian, Jiangsu, thousands of miles away, there is a snake-shaped hook pattern, which is a symbol of dragon totem worship in ancient Vietnam. This shows that at least in the middle of Neolithic age, there was totem worship of dragons. The formation of dragons began in the Neolithic Age. After the development of Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the Qin and Han Dynasties basically took shape. It breaks away from the specific animal image in nature and becomes a special animal that combines the spirituality and expertise of various animals. In the Tang Dynasty, the dragon became the patent of the Emperor of Heaven. The dragon pattern can only be used for the emperor's clothes and utensils, and the dragon becomes a symbol of imperial power. After the Song Dynasty, there were more legends about the history and family of dragons. During the formation of the dragon image, many strange animal images appeared. Later, these monsters combined some characteristics of the dragon with the development of the image of the dragon, forming a different view that the dragon gave birth to nine sons. But what are the nine sons of the dragon, who ranks first and who ranks second, and there is no exact record. There are also various opinions among the people. It is said that on one occasion, Zhu Youtang, the filial son of the Ming Dynasty, had a whim and asked Li Dongyang, the famous minister of rites, "I heard that the dragon gave birth to nine sons. What's the name of Jiuzi? " Li Dongyang couldn't answer. After leaving North Korea, he pieced together a list. According to Li Dongyang's list, Long's nine sons are: Pufu, Chifeng, Yezi, Shutu, Kiss, Bulong, Sister-in-law and Prison Bull. But in folklore, there are far more than these dragons, and they are all said to be sons of dragons. As long as we understand the formation process of Longsheng Jiuzi, it is not difficult to understand why there are so many statements about Longsheng Jiuzi. The so-called dragon gave birth to nine children, not that the dragon happened to give birth to nine children. In the traditional culture of ancient China, nine is often used to express many things, which has a supreme position. Nine is an imaginary number and an expensive number, so it is used to describe the dragon son. If you have to choose nine sons, you should also choose the nine that have the greatest influence on the people. Li Dongyang is also anxious to make a job, and the list is not representative. Yichong consulted some materials, combined with the folk customs he saw during his travels around the country, and re-listed the list of Longsheng Jiuzi according to factors such as folk influence and frequency of occurrence.

Because the eldest sister-in-law is the fifth son of the dragon, the temple is called Wu Ye Temple, which has a great influence in the local area.
