As a totem, the dragon is different from the general totem. It is not a single animal, but a collection of many animals, which highlights the great national spirit of the Chinese nation-harmonious thought. The earliest gods in ancient mythology were not people, but animals-totems. Primitive people can't distinguish the boundaries between human beings and animals, and think that an animal is its own ancestor and protector. This is a totem.

Totem, as the ancestor and symbol of clan and tribe, is generally a single animal. When a clan and tribe have a merger war, the victors often destroy their totems after capturing each other, and the newly generated tribe still has a single totem.

The image of the dragon contains many animal elements, and many people only discuss its origin according to a certain feature, so there are many opinions about the prototype of the dragon. One of the most influential is that the prototype of the dragon is a snake.

Wen Yiduo, a famous scholar, discussed the prototype of the dragon in the 1940s. According to his research, the original prototype of dragon totem is snake totem. After eliminating the clan of cattle totem and deer totem, add horns or antlers to the snake head, then add the head of a pig or horse, add the legs of a tiger or crocodile, the claws of an eagle, the scales of a fish and the tail of a flower. After a long period of development, a collection of many totems has been formed. After Wen Yiduo, many scholars also think that the prototype of the dragon is a snake.
