When casting a bronze tripod, a dragon lowered his beard to welcome the Yellow Emperor to heaven.

The Yellow Emperor rode on the dragon's back, and ministers, wives and children climbed up one after another, with more than 70 people each. At this time, the dragon ascended to heaven, and the other ministers could not squeeze in, holding the dragon's beard one by one.

The dragon beard meat was broken because of its heavy weight, and the bow carried by the Yellow Emperor was also pulled down, so the courtiers had to hold the dragon beard meat and bow and wail. After the Yellow Emperor ascended to heaven, he became the Emperor of Heaven.

Dragon is one of the oldest clan totems of the Chinese nation. In ancient times, people feared nature and worshipped divine power, so they created such an idol with infinite power, worshipped it and prayed for peace.

For thousands of years, the dragon has been mysterious and sacred in people's hearts, and has gradually become a totem representative respected by the Chinese nation. The image of the dragon known today combines the characteristics of various creatures: antlers, ox heads, donkey mouths, shrimp eyes, elephant ears, fish scales, human whiskers, snake bellies and chicken feet.

Some studies have pointed out that the image of the dragon has undergone constant development and changes. In the long historical process, through war and alliance, the people who believe in the dragon totem have gradually become leaders, and the dragon totem has gradually become the banner of the whole Chinese nation's belief.

The totem image originally believed by other nationalities was gradually absorbed and enriched into the dragon image, so the dragon became more and more distinctive, and its image became increasingly complex and powerful, becoming the representative of the emperor.
