Question 3: How many claws do dragons have in Chinese myths and legends Dragons before Yuan were basically three-clawed, sometimes with three claws on the first two feet and four claws on the last two feet. Examples can be found in the Tang, Song and Yuan porcelain decoration. Four-clawed dragons were popular in the Ming Dynasty, and five-clawed dragons were prevalent in the Qing Dynasty. Zhou dynasty "five claws son of heaven, four claws vassals, three claws doctor" Chinese dragon is not the beginning of five claws, but from three claws, four claws to five claws developed. The evolution of the dragon shape in Chinese history can be roughly divided into four periods: First, the kui dragons since the Yangshao culture, Daxi culture, Qujialing culture, Dawenkou culture, Longshan culture period, through the Shangzhou, continued to the Qin and Han dynasties, the Shangzhou kui dragons as a representative. The prototype of the Kui dragon was the Bay crocodile or giant lizard, with one kite (phoenix) foot and four claws. Shang kui dragons, one kite foot and two or four claws. In the middle and late Shang Dynasty, the kui dragons and chi dragons and kui winds were used in parallel, resulting in six types of kui dragon-based parallel kui dragons and chi dragons and kui winds emblems, signifying the same ancestor. Western Zhou continued to use, and the kui dragons and kui chi dragons synthesized into a new form, at this time a kite feet, mostly curved moon shaped two claws. Second, Yinglong period Yinglong concept is very early, the earliest seen in the Shang Zhou, but as the art of staging Yinglong, may begin in Qin, Sheng Han, continued to the Sui and Tang dynasties, the foot is mostly three toes. Huanglong period Beginning in the Tang and Song dynasties, Liao, Jin and Yuan laid the foundation for the image, and flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Song, Liao, Jin and Yuan are mostly three-toe, and Ming and Qing are mostly four-toe and five-toe. Since the Yuan Dynasty, only the Royal Family can use five-clawed dragon modeling, folk can only use three-clawed or four-clawed dragon pattern. Fourth, the return of the period after the Qing dynasty of the current generation. Since the dragon is detached from the feudal rulers, it can be painted or molded into three, four or five toes according to people's preference. Of course, the history of the five-clawed dragon has had a special status, so people generally still favor the five-clawed shape. Japan in the Tang Dynasty and China's frequent exchanges, a lot of learning Chinese culture, and promote its social progress. For example, Japan's traditional architecture and traditional clothing is in fact completely China's Tang Dynasty. At that time, Chinese dragons were three-clawed, so Japan could only introduce three-clawed dragons from China. After the appearance of four-clawed dragons in China, has begun to close the country, and cut off communication with Japan. And South Korea in ancient times called Goryeo, until the end of the Qing dynasty are China's vassal state, when the Chinese rulers began to use the five-clawed dragon pattern, naturally, it is not possible to let the vassal state and their own equal, so South Korea's dragons will have to be four-clawed. In the final analysis, the Japanese and Korean dragons reflect the evolution of the Chinese dragon. [龙螭虬蛟蟠虺夔] Vermin: an early type of dragon, imagined using the reptile, the snake, as a model, often in water. "The viper turns into a jiao in 500 years, and the jiao turns into a dragon in 1,000 years." It is the juvenile stage of the dragon, and has appeared on bronze decoration in the late Western Zhou, but not much. Gnarl: A small dragon that has not produced horns is generally referred to as a gnarl, a growing dragon. Therefore, the ancient documents annotated, "With horns is said to be gnarled, without horns is said to be dragon." The other says that young dragons are called gnarled dragons only after they have developed horns. Although there are differences between the two statements. But they all refer to the growing dragon as a gnarled dragon. Others refer to coiled dragons as gnarled dragons. The Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu wrote in his poem, "The Question of the Green Clouds", "The gnarled dragon is coiled in thousands of feet and is a dramatic goat's intestines". Chi-dragon is a serpent-like deity of the genus Dragon, an early dragon without horns, "Guangya" collection has "no horns said chi-dragon" account. There are also two ways to describe chi dragons, one refers to the yellow hornless dragons, the other refers to the female dragons, in the Book of Han, Sima Xiangru's biography. Sima Xiangru biography" in the "red chi dragons, female dragons," the note, so in the excavation of the Warring States jade pendant on the shape of the dragon chi as a decoration, meaning male and female cross. From the Spring and Autumn period to the time of Qin and Han, bronze, jade carving, bronze mirror or building, often coiled chi dragon shape for decoration, the form of a single chi dragon, two chi dragons, three chi dragons, five chi dragons and even a group of chi dragons a variety of. Or as a card, or as a ring, or as a scroll. In addition, there are also various variations such as Bogu chi, ring-body chi, and so on. Jiao: Generally refers to the dragon with scales that is capable of generating floods. Legend has it that the dragon is capable of producing clouds and fog, and can move into space. It is often used as a metaphor in ancient texts to describe a talented person who has been given the opportunity to show his talents. About the origin and shape of the auger, classical literature say different, some say "dragon without horns said auger", some say "scaly said auger dragon". And the "inkers waving rhinoceros" volume three is more specific: the shape of the jiao like a snake, its head like a tiger, the longest to several zhang, more than in the creek pools and caves under the rock, sound like a cow. If the jiao see the bank or the valley of the pedestrian, that is to the mouth of the fishy saliva around it, so that people fall into the water, that is, in the armpit to suck its blood, until the blood is exhausted before stopping. Shoremen and boatmen often suffer from it. In the Southern Song Dynasty, there is a story in Liu Yiqing's "Shishu Xinyi" that Zhou Zhi went into the water for three days and three nights and chopped off a jiao and returned. Jiao may be a crocodile. Horned Dragon: refers to a dragon with horns. According to the Record of Descriptions of Differences: "The Jiao turns into a dragon in a thousand years, and the dragon turns into a horned dragon in five hundred years", and the horned dragon is the oldest of the dragons. Yinglong: The dragon with wings is called Yinglong. According to the book of "the book of differences" in the account: "the dragon five hundred years for the horned dragon, a thousand years for the Yinglong", ...... >>

Question 4: How many fingers How many claws do dragons have in ancient legends? Dragons are all four claws. But each claw is five-fingered and belongs to the emperor exclusively. Other nobles can only use four fingers. If they overstep their bounds, it is a capital offense.

Question 5: How many paws in the Qing dynasty dragon robe? Python robe is the most commonly used dress for civil and military officials, because the robe embroidered with python text and named. On the python, the difference between the dragon, there has never been a clear answer. Generally according to the "wild access to edit" "python clothes for the elephant dragon clothes, and the supreme (i.e., the emperor) by the imperial (dragon) robe resembles, but minus a claw" and "the Qing dynasty canon" in "where the five claws of the dragon satin LiLong satin regiment complementary dress .... Attack . Officials and citizens shall not wear. If the award of five paws dragon satin dragon satin, should be picked to wear a claw" of the prohibition, concluded that five claws for the dragon, four claws for the conclusion of the python. In fact, not quite. Because people in various periods of the concept of python and dragon is not fixed. Dragon is not entirely five-clawed, python is not entirely four-clawed. To the Qing Dynasty, although the name of the dragon, python divided very clearly, but in the reflection of the image is often consistent. High status officials can still wear "five paws of the python", and some of the noble relatives to the special reward can also wear "four paws of the dragon". As for, when for dragon, when for python. Mainly in the social hierarchy at that time is relatively strict, the dragon is regarded as the embodiment of the emperor, in addition to the emperor and relatives, others may not "unauthorized use", so the same is a five-clawed dragon robe, for the emperor's can be called the dragon robe, and used for ordinary officials, can only be called python robe. In color, only the royal family can be available in bright yellow, gold and apricot yellow. Ordinary people are generally blue and stone green.

Question 6: Why is the Chinese dragon divided into several claws? It represents the rank ~ feudal society has very strict rules ~

Common school:

Three-clawed dragon for the Yuan Dynasty typical, you can find the answer on the porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty

Examples can be found in the porcelain decoration of Tang, Song and Yuan. Four-clawed dragons were popular in the Ming Dynasty, and five-clawed dragons were prevalent in the Qing Dynasty.

Zhou Dynasty "five-clawed son of heaven, four-clawed vassals, three-clawed doctor"

Folk "five-clawed dragon, four-clawed python," said the formation of the Qing Dynasty, mainly as the emperor and ministers of the difference in clothing decorations, the emperor wore a "dragon robe". The emperor wore a "dragon robe", other royals and ministers wear "python robes", but this is only the name of the difference, from the form of the dragon, whether the dragon and python are four-legged snakes, the shape of no difference.

The Chinese dragon did not start with five claws, but from three claws, four claws to five claws developed. The evolution of dragon shape in Chinese history can be roughly divided into four periods:

I. Kui Long Period

Since the Yangshao culture, Daxi culture, Qujialing culture, the Dawenkou culture, the Longshan culture period, through the Shang and Zhou, continued to the Qin and Han Dynasties, with the Shang and Zhou Kui dragons as representatives. The prototype of the Kui dragon was the Bay crocodile or giant lizard, with one kite (phoenix) foot and four claws. Shang kui dragons, one kite foot and two or four claws. In the middle and late Shang Dynasty, the kui dragons and chi dragons and kui winds were used in parallel, resulting in six types of kui dragon-based parallel kui dragons and chi dragons and kui winds emblems, signifying the same ancestor. Western Zhou continued to use, and the kui dragons and kui chi dragons synthesized into a new form, at this time a kite foot, more for the curved crescent-shaped two claws.

Second, Yinglong period

The concept of Yinglong is very early, the earliest seen in the Shang Zhou, but as an artistic staging of Yinglong, may start in Qin, bloomed in Han, continued to the Sui and Tang dynasties, the foot is mostly triple toes.

Third, the yellow dragon period

Beginning in the Tang and Song dynasties, Liao, Jin and Yuan laid the foundation of the image, and flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Song, Liao, Jin and Yuan are mostly three-toe, Ming and Qing are mostly four-toe, five-toe. Since the Yuan Dynasty, only the royal can use five-clawed dragon modeling, folk can only use three-clawed or four-clawed dragon pattern.

Fourth, the return period

After the Qing Dynasty, the current generation. Since the dragon is detached from the feudal rulers, it can be drawn or molded into three, four or five toes according to people's preference. Of course, historically the five-clawed dragon has had a special status, so people generally still prefer five-clawed shape.

Japan in the Tang Dynasty and China's frequent exchanges, a lot of learning Chinese culture, and promote its social progress. For example, Japan's traditional architecture and traditional dress is in fact exactly the same as the Chinese Tang Dynasty. At that time, Chinese dragons were three-clawed, so Japan could only introduce three-clawed dragons from China. After the appearance of four-clawed dragons in China, has begun to close the country, and cut off communication with Japan. And South Korea in ancient times called Goryeo, until the end of the Qing dynasty are China's vassal state, when the Chinese rulers began to use the five-clawed dragon pattern, naturally, it is not possible to let the vassal state and their own equal, so South Korea's dragons will have to be four-clawed. In the end, the Japanese and Korean dragons reflect the evolution of the Chinese dragon.
