7. Wen Yiduo, a famous scholar, explored the archetype of the dragon in the 1940s. According to his testimony, the original archetype of the dragon totem was the snake totem, and after the elimination of the clans of the cow totem and the deer totem, the cow's horn or the deer's horn was put on the head of the snake, and then the pig's head or the horse's head was added, as well as the tiger's or the crocodile's legs, the eagle's claws, the fish's scales, and the flower's tail, which, after a long period of time, had developed. The collection of many totems formed the image of the Chinese dragon totem. After Wen Yiduo, many scholars also believe that the prototype of the dragon is the snake.

During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the Dragon Pond was used as a micro-ancestral shrine, and an altar official was set up to offer sacrifices to the Dragon King in the same manner as the rainmaker.
