Since entering the modern society, many experts and scholars have deeply explored the origin of dragons. From the analysis of many unearthed cultural relics about dragons, the formation of dragons has experienced a long history.

On the one hand, it embodies the context of Yangshao culture, on the other hand, it proves the initial formation of dragons.

With regard to the origin of the dragon, after long-term research and textual research, people think that the dragon is a synthesis of various animals and a symbol of totem worship formed in primitive society.

Dragon ranks fifth among the traditional Chinese zodiac animals in China. Dragon, phoenix, unicorn and tortoise are also called "four great beasts". (There are also many ancient books and history books that refer to the "four auspicious beasts" as: caring for each other, nurturing, caring for each other and caring for each other. ) Qinglong and Baihu, Suzaku and Xuanwu are the four astronomical phenomena in China.

Dragon is a miraculous animal in the legend of China. It is fickle, promotes sex and benefits all things. It is the first of many scales and the first of four spirits (dragon, phoenix, unicorn and turtle). There are many different images in ancient books. Speaking of slender, it has four feet, anticlimactic. Speaking of piercing scales, there are whiskers on the head and five claws. Compendium of Materia Medica says that "dragons have nine similarities", and it is a heterogeneous animal with the advantages of various animals. It has many names. Those with scales are called dragons, those with wings are called dragons, those with horns are called [multi-tower] dragons, and those without horns are called autumn. The little one is called Jiao, and the big one is called Dragon. Legend has it that it can be hidden, detailed and huge, short and long. The vernal equinox ascends to the sky, and the autumnal equinox dives into the deep, omnipotent. In mythology, it is the master of the underwater world (the Dragon King), a symbol of good fortune among the people, and the embodiment of ancient imperial power.

One of the most famous events is 1934 Yingchuan's dragon falling. It is said that many people in Yingkou found a live dragon in the upper reaches of Tianzhuangtai. People built a arbor with reed mats and watered it. The monks in the temple crossed over for it every day. After a few days of heavy rain, it disappeared.

The viewer said that it is exactly like the dragon in the painting, with four claws and scales, two beards on the mouth, big eyes protruding, and a body length of about 10 meter. Shengjing Times also reported this in detail, which caused a great sensation in the society at that time.

Recently, a picture appeared on the internet, which is suspected to be a real dragon flying to the moon ... truly supernatural, with pictures and truth. ...

Pictures taken by a group of netizens broke the news, and there were creatures suspected of being "dragons" in the pictures. Many netizens have left messages expressing their shock. So are the creatures in this group of pictures dragons? Does this creature really exist?

The appearance of dragons in ancient times mostly represented the prosperity of dynasties. Many people think it's superstition, but personally, dragons may really exist, but people haven't discovered them yet, or they are supernatural.

Answer 5

1934 Yingkou dragon falling incident attracted my attention most, because it was a sensation. It is said that at that time, in order to see the dragon, the train ticket to Yingkou was relatively tight. Science magazine also reported this. What is even more incredible is that before this mysterious creature died, local residents had seen it twice and had close contact with it for a long time!

Many people have studied this photo, saying that the two dragon horns are the jaws of a misplaced whale. Even if they are not real dragons, there is a key question: how do marine life get into fresh water? And there won't be such a huge aquatic animal in fresh water!

This was accidentally taken by a photographer on the plane. If you look closely, you can still see the faucet. It really feels like it, don't you think?

This is a rare gold-plated dragon specimen bought by the Japanese at a high price. It's in the Ruiyousi in Osaka. According to legend, in the eleventh year of Meiji shogunate, it was lost from China to Japan. About 370 years ago, a Japanese businessman got it from a port in China and sold it to Wandai Toby as a collection. Ten thousand generations of Toby can't put it down.

This photo was taken in Qinghai, and it seems to have wings (degraded or not). It may be an unknown aquatic creature, or it may really be an underage dragon!

Having said that, did dragons really exist? If there is no real dragon, it is just an imaginary animal pieced together by people, so many people are too ignorant! Regarding whether the dragon ever existed, I think there are two possibilities: one is that it did exist, but it died out in the process of several changes in the earth, and the other is that there was such a lizard on the earth, and people packaged and beautified it.
