Do dragons exist?

1934 A preliminary study on the dragon descending in Yingkou

1On August 8, 934, a skeleton very similar to the legendary dragon was found in Yingkou. Even more incredible is that before this mysterious creature died, local residents had seen it twice and had long-term close contact with it!

It is recorded in the first volume of Yingkou City Records: "(1 934) On the afternoon of August 8, a farmer in Dongxiao Street on the north bank of Liaohe River found a giant animal white bone, which was about 10 meter long, with a corner on the left and right sides of the head, about1meter long and a spine of * * 29 knots. The pseudo-Yingkou Sixth Police Department transported it to the open space near Xiguan Wharf, and for several days, people came to visit it in an endless stream.

An old man recalled that this monster appeared twice, the first time it appeared 20 kilometers away from the estuary.

Xiao Man Su Qin Sr: At the age of 9, her father drove a carriage for the landlord. At that time, many people said that they had found a "live dragon" in the upper reaches of Tianzhuangtai and rushed there. Dad put her on horseback and watched for her. The "dragon" she saw was square-headed and square-brained, with big eyes and blinking, while its body was gray, curled up on the ground, with its tail rolled up and two claws sticking out of its abdomen. What impressed her most was that it was very weak, its eyes were half open and half closed, and its eyes were a little red. Many people said that it was because of the hot weather that they built a shed on it. Then it rained heavily for a long time, and this "dragon" disappeared.

At that time, the people thought that the dragon in the sky was auspicious. Some people gave the pavilion to the monster tower with reed mats, and some people poured water on the monster to prevent it from drying out. It is said that people are very active, and even lazy people have to carry water. In the temple, many people and monks cross over for it every day until the monster mysteriously disappeared for a few days after another rainstorm.

However, after more than 20 days of continuous rain, this monster appeared strangely for the second time, this time in the reeds at Liaohekou 10 km. At this time, it is not a living thing, but a corpse with a strange smell.

According to Yang Yishun's memory, before the discovery of the "dragon" bone, I heard adults say that there was always a crackling sound in the reeds, and there was a cry like a cow. It sounded dull, and I could hear the struggle, but then nothing happened. At that time, it had rained heavily for more than 40 days in Yingkou area. Streets and roads were flooded, and some houses collapsed because of too much water. After the rain stopped, with the north wind blowing, the smell in the air was very strong. A worker surnamed Lu, who was in charge of the reed pond, followed the strange smell and found a large reed lying down. Pushing them aside, he went in to see them. He was shocked: there was a huge animal carcass lying inside! The workers turned and ran away in fear and went home with a serious illness. When people heard about it, they went to see it together and reported it to the then government. At that time, the staff of an epidemic prevention hospital near Xiguan wore white coats and sprayed disinfectant on dead animals with maggots. After the "dragon" bone was carried out, someone tied a rope with four ship anchors and surrounded the skeleton in a circle for everyone to visit.

Sun Zhengren: Bare bones are not the original dragon shape. It's not that shape, but it's quite long and has a big head. The two big horns are more than one meter long, not only one meter three or four feet long, but also two. Lying on the ground, the body is crooked and can be as long as ten meters.

The son of Ma, a famous osteopath in Yingkou (who has seen the "dragon" bone with his own eyes) remembers that his father told him that when the bone was found, the meat had not completely rotted and looked particularly like a "dragon".

The reporter was surprised to find that this "dragon" actually had claws and dug a pit nearly 17 meters long and more than 6 meters wide with its claws, indicating that this "dragon" had struggled.

Related records: "... the dragon is towering, with a head about three inches wide, a spine more than three inches wide, ribs attached to both sides of the spine, each about five or six inches long, and a vertical plate-shaped white bone tail at the end, all of which are * * * 28 knots, and each foot saved is more than * * * three feet. At the place of the original dragon, there was a pit two feet wide and five feet long dug with claws.

These characteristics further verify the view that it is a dragon.

According to several old people, old fishermen were invited to identify them, but no one knew the monster's body. People talk about it in succession, and generally think it is a "dragon".

Yingkou Pseudo-Sixth Police Branch organized manpower, decomposed its bones, transported them to the south bank, and placed them in the open space in front of the West Customs for anyone to visit.

At that time, Shengjing Times sent people to interview, which was also called Dragon, Dragon Descending from the Sky, Dragon Descending from Yingchuan and Dragon, with photos and illustrations. Yingkou citizens are scrambling to watch, and tourists from nearby cities are in an endless stream, making it tense to buy train tickets to and from Yingkou. Later, it was reported that Mr. Zhang, the fishing department of Yingkou Fisheries High School, judged it to be "a jiaozi".

At that time, Yingkou Meida Photo Studio and Yingming Photo Studio printed a large number of photos of the "Dragon" bone exhibition and sold them along the street near Erbending Hutong. Some people from other places came to Yingkou to visit the "dragon" bone, scrambling to buy photos of the "dragon" bone and bring them back to their families for appreciation.

Li Binsheng: I remember I was ten years old that year. 70 years ago, the circle around Xiguan open-air exhibition was an anchor. The anchors used to fix the boat under the sampan are intermittently surrounded in a circle, blocked by ropes, and the ground is sprinkled with white ash because many people can't squeeze in. With people's exercise, people have a curiosity to see it. It's just that there is a dragon in legend, an opportunity that has never been seen in real life. They all want to see it. It is very long, two or three feet long, about ten meters long, standing. The spine is not like a fish. It is strange that there are horns on the head, and any aquarium has no horns.

Looking through the relevant information, the reporter saw a copy of the photo of the "Dragon" bone published in Shengjing Times on August 1934. Although it was a long time ago, due to the limitation of photography technology and various factors at that time, only the vague figure of people wearing straw hats watching the "Dragon" bone exhibition could be seen vaguely, but a long animal skeleton and two long horns born on its head were still clearly visible in the picture.

Regrettably, due to the chaotic social order at that time, the fishery high school was relocated many times and huge bones were lost.

1939, 16-year-old Sun Zhengren came to Dalian to be a housekeeper, and the hostess's husband was the younger brother of the president of Yingkou Chamber of Commerce. Sun Zhengren won the master's appreciation. 194 1 When he left Dalian, the hostess gave him a "dragon" bone as a reward. It is reported that the keel in the woman's hand weighs about three kilograms and is white. The bottom of the bone is about the size of a bowl, slowly extending upward and tapering until the top. The white glaze on the surface of the bone is very bright, and everyone says it is a' dragon' tooth. The hostess told him that this is the keel that was once exhibited in Yingkou.

On the morning of June 16, Mr. Lao Sunman donated five "dragon" bones that he had preserved for 63 years to the Municipal Archives Bureau. He hopes that the relevant departments can identify the bones in his hand.

This is probably the secular process of keel in Yingkou dragon falling incident. In this regard, many media have reported that there are also various voices of doubt:

CCTV also filmed a feature film, and concluded that the whale ran aground and then the bones were misspelled.

Fu Renyi, a researcher in Liaoning Province, inferred from the photos of Shengjing Times that the "dragon" bone was the fossil of the "primitive cow" unearthed.

Dong Wei, an associate researcher, believes that this may be an elephant fossil, and those two "horns" are tusks.

Some experts have studied the keel donated by Lao Sunman Zhengren, and initially think that it is the fossil of the Quaternary wild horse.

These explanations are obviously unsatisfactory:

Whales have no horns and four claws, so it is unlikely that bones assembled from newly decomposed living bodies will be seriously misaligned in length, shape and characteristics.

Cows, horses and elephants can't have snake bones more than ten meters long.

Moreover, archaeologists ignored one of the most important problems: the bones at that time were decomposed from living things, not paleontological fossils, and fresh bones could not become fossils.

Because of the origin of Sun Lao's keel and the difference between fossils and fresh bones, people can't help wondering if this was the Yingkou keel at that time.

Although there are a large number of witnesses and very detailed photos, the dragon falling in Yingkou has become a historical mystery that is difficult to solve because of the lack of physical objects.

Because we should try our best to ensure the objectivity of things, most of the above descriptions are related articles sorted out by photoacoustic. Dare not be greedy, thank you here!

I sorted out some online dragon sightings, and found that most of the witnesses (many times quite a few people saw them at the same time) claimed that the mysterious creatures they saw were very similar to dragons, all with cow heads, snake bodies, four claws and long horns, and their bodies were quite long and huge. These events can be divided into two categories. The first kind is witnessing: many people claim to have seen dragons flying in the air. Sometimes it is a part of the body. In an eyewitness event in Inner Mongolia, several witnesses claimed to have seen a huge paw in the cloud. Sometimes the whole body. The most bizarre thing is that several female paratroopers of the People's Liberation Army said that they saw dragons in the clouds during a skydiving training during the Cultural Revolution. Because of the political environment at that time, these people did not advocate it. The dragon witnessed by others is in the water. This is similar to witnessing a water monster. Not much to write.

The second category is dragon descending. According to the author of some articles, he collected dozens of dragon falls. As far as I know, there are two kinds of such incidents: one is that it didn't rain for a long time when the drought was serious, and the villagers found a huge dragon-like creature in the open space. It seems to be exhausted, and it has been lying on the ground, only occasionally twisting its body. Kind villagers usually cover it with mats. The time that dragons stay on the ground ranges from two or three days to two months, during which they don't eat or drink. Dragons always disappear on that stormy night. The villagers think that the dragon's suffering on the ground is God's punishment for his mistake, and the dragon will return to heaven after his sentence is over. The other is that lightning kills creatures like dragons. If the former is a living dragon, then this one is a dead dragon. The number of dead dragons is less than that of alive dragons. The folk explanation is that the dragon committed a great crime and was killed by heaven.

Some problems can also be seen from these incidents: all the dragon sightings occurred in China, and one case occurred in Singapore. There are some in Japan and South Korea, but I haven't found any examples. People from different cultural backgrounds can't see dragons? If this creature does exist, how do you explain it? How can a dragon fly without wings? It is said that only dragons in the zodiac don't exist, but why did our ancestors create a nonexistent animal to stand side by side with the existing eleven animals? Please don't take this article as a curious work, I just want to find the answer to the matter.

Attachment: Records of dragons in past dynasties (I believe it is very incomplete, please provide information from friends)

● (Records of the Five Elements in the Later Han Dynasty): Longliangtang

This sentence is quoted from the Qing Dynasty [Luoyang County Records, Thousand Different Records], which is as black as a car hood, brilliant and colorful, and the book of the Later Han Dynasty is more clear.

In June of the first year of Ling Diguang and Ding Chou, a black gas fell into the East Hall of Wen Ming Temple in Gong Bei, black as a car cover, full of excitement and colorful body, with a head more than ten feet long and shaped like a dragon.

Liu Hong, the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was a spiritual emperor. Guanghe was one of the appellations he used when he was in office. In June of the first year of Guanghe, Ding Chou was on 1 July 781day. The capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty is in the suburb of Luoyang, Henan Province, and Wenming Hall may be the emperor's bedroom. In the east courtyard of Wenming Hall, a huge black object fell from the sky, like a round car umbrella, showing five colors of light in the rapid rotation of the body. Although it has a head, it has no feet and no tail, like a dragon, more than 20 meters long.

● [yuan dynasty history. Five elements] Cloud: In July of the twenty-seventh year of Yuan Dynasty, a dragon was seen in Longshan, Linxiong County, Yidu, and a huge stone weighed a thousand pounds.

To the twenty-seventh year of the Yuan Dynasty. Linxiong County is in today's Shandong Province. A dragon appeared in Longshan, and I don't know what the long one looks like. Its arrival can actually float a thousand pounds of boulder.

● In the twenty-four years of Jian 'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Huanglong appeared in Chishui, Wuyang, and left after nine days. A temple was built for this purpose.

● In April of the first year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 345), two dragons, one black and one white, appeared in Longshan. The prince personally led the courtiers to hold a sacrificial ceremony more than 200 steps away from the dragon.

● In the local chronicles of Ming and Qing Dynasties, the records about dragons are found from time to time. According to the Records of Lin 'an Prefecture, in the fourth year of Chongzhen (AD 163 1), dragons appeared in the Yilong Lake in the southeast of Shiping County, Yunnan Province. Dragons have appeared in Longshan and Yilong Lake more than once. Otherwise, it will not be called "Longshan" or "Yilong Lake"!

"Supplement to the Year of the Tang Dynasty" records that one day in the last years of Tang Xiantong, a Qinglong fell in Tongcheng County and died on the spot because of a throat injury. This dragon is more than ten feet long, half body and half tail. The tail is flat. Its scales are similar to those of fish, with double horns on its head, a mouth that must be two feet long, feet under its abdomen, and a red membrane on its feet.

● Lang Ying's "Seven Manuscripts" records that at the end of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty, a dragon landed on the beach in Xinhui County, Guangdong Province and was killed by fishermen. This dragon is about one person tall and dozens of feet long. Much like the dragon in the painting, only the abdomen is red.

● In the thirty-second year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (A.D. 1 162), a dragon was found near Taibai Lake, with a huge scale, a white belly and a green back, fins on its back and high horns on its head, and it could smell fishy for miles away. The local people covered its body with mats, and the government sent people to offer sacrifices in person. The dragon disappeared after a thunderstorm overnight. It left a deep ditch where it lay.

● According to the Records of Yongping County, in the summer of the 19th year of Daoguang (AD 1839), a dragon landed in Laoting County in the lower reaches of Luanhe River, and flies were everywhere. The locals built a shed for it to keep out the sun and poured water on it. Three days later, in a thunderstorm, the dragon left its position.

● In August 1944, hundreds of people saw a black dragon lying on the beach behind Chenjiaweizi Village in Fuyu County along the southern edge of Songhua River. According to Ren Dianyuan, a witness who is still alive, the dragon is about 20 meters long. This animal looks like a four-legged snake, and its face is similar to the dragon in the painting. It has seven or eight thick and hard beards, and the first half of its body is about one meter in diameter. Four paws plunged deep into the beach. It is covered with scales, shaped like crocodile scales. Ren Dianyuan is still full of doubts. Why does that huge animal look like a dragon in the painting?

●/kloc-in the summer of 0/953, an unknown animal landed somewhere in eastern Henan, and many busybodies walked for miles to watch. According to the shape described by the witness, this thing looks like a huge shark. Its fishy smell attracts many flies. This fish should be a rare fish that lives in the deep sea. As for why it fell from the sky, it seems to be related to the reason why the dragon fell.

Long Xiang's question:

It is not difficult for living things to change their density (if you jump into a swimming pool and exhale all the air in your body, the density will increase and sink. )

In rainy days, the air density increases due to the increase of water molecules in the air (the situation in rain clouds is similar, but the density is higher). Suppose the dragon is a creature, and its density can be completely changed by using some special physiological structures. For example, spread the scales on your back and use your own mucus to form bubbles under the scales (many times it is mentioned that the scales of dragons can be opened and closed); In addition, the skeleton of the dragon should be hollow and light, similar to birds, which is conducive to reducing its own density. In order to fly higher (not unreasonable) and get closer to the rain cloud (the density of the rain cloud should be close to water at the maximum, so that the dragon can "swim" in the past almost easily when it enters the rain cloud), it can contract its abdomen inward like a tropical snake that can slide in the Woods. Of course, this is just a guess.

In this way, the density of dragons becomes very small in rainy days, which is about equal to the density of air in rainy days; Then try to soar upwards. The closer to the rain cloud, the greater the content and density of water molecules in the air, and the dragon can finally swim into the rain cloud as happily as in water.

At the end of Tang Xian Tongwei, Zhou Shu secretariat Kong Wei entered an era of keel soldiers. Because of his words: "Tongcheng Prefecture has a good governance township, and a green dragon fight died in the court. In April, the court still had cocoon foil. Suddenly, clouds and thunderstorms began, and I heard the sound of touching in the clouds. Blood rained on the cocoon foil. Blood is not confined to tin foil, but gradually rotates and gathers, so it can be held in the palm of your hand. For an instant, it was cold and painful. At the beginning of the dragon, it followed the ground, made a detour and jumped into the clouds. And rain is also well known. The dragon is dead. Cut it open and there is a big sore in the throat. The fan is more than ten feet long. Half body and half tail. The tail is very thin. All fish are fish. Only two feet long. Its feet are covered with a red film. The two corners are two feet long. Its belly phase (the "phase" of the Ming manuscript is "light") is self-defeating. When Dayunchang sent the governor, he sent the state. With the weight of meat, it is impossible to lift it all, that is, dozens of sections, and carry it to the official. (from "Supplement to Records of the Tang Dynasty")

At the end of "Tang Xiantong", the secretariat of Kong Wei presented a keel, and there was a paragraph describing: "There was a common man named Hu Ju in Shanzheng Township, Tongcheng County, where Zhou Shu belonged, and a dragon bucket died in the yard. It was April, and there were bamboo screens for sericulture in the yard. Suddenly, there was thunder in the clouds, and I heard the sound of fighting and touching in the clouds. Blood is like rain, sprinkled on the bamboo screen of silkworm rearing. Blood will not pollute the sieve, but gradually coagulate and can be picked up and placed on the palm of your hand. In a short time, people felt a biting cold pain. At first, a dragon's tail dragged on the ground, surrounded by a bucket of swill. Then fly to the clouds. When it rains, there is mud everywhere. After the dragon died, cut it open and found a big sore in its throat. This dragon is more than ten feet long. A dragon has half a body and half a tail. The tail is thin and thin. Fish scales are like fish scales. Only the beard is two feet long. Its feet are covered with red corneas. Both corners are two feet long. Its stomach is contradictory. At that time, Dayun Cang was sent to command troops to send the dead dragon to Zhou Shu. Because the dragon meat is too heavy to be transported as a whole, it is cut into dozens of sections and transported to the state capital. The description of dragons in this ancient book is quite detailed.

Shucheng is in the middle of Anhui, far from the rivers and seas. It can't be any marine life or Chinese alligator or something. Kong Wei's "Inside and Outside" said that the blood of this "dragon" "gradually rotates and gathers, which can be lifted in the palm of your hand. It was cold and painful for a moment, obviously a cold-blooded animal. And "its feet are covered with red membrane", its feet are covered with red cornea, which is obviously used for paddling, and its body and tail account for half. The tail is thin and thin. Fish scales are like fish scales. Only the beard is two feet long. These are the characteristics of amphibians. " Their bellies are at odds with each other "and their bellies are at odds with each other. Such animals certainly don't live on land. So it can basically be concluded that it is an aquatic animal. As for why dragons fly, I don't know what I just said. Is it a statement?

The Legend of "Dragon Descending" in Daqing

Author/reporter Wei

65438+February 2003

When I was a child, I heard the old man tell the story of "descending the dragon" and "saving the dragon". Journalists have never laughed it off, thinking that these stories are just gossip from the people. Until165438+1October 25th, Ren Qing, deputy director of the propaganda department of Dulbert County Committee, told the reporter seriously: "My father saw a real dragon."

Ren Lao recalled: I have seen a real dragon.

1August, 944 (I can't remember the exact date), my father Ren Baijin led me (Ren Dianyuan, then 27 years old) and fishermen Cong Laishun (43 years old) and Sheba (38 years old) to sail out of the river for fishing. We leave the river for as little as three to five days and as much as ten days. We also crossed the river with four ships 10 people.

This morning, our boat sailed to the south bank of Mudanjiang (formerly known as Songhua River Section 1) (then under the jurisdiction of Zhaoyuan County, located at 15 km northwest of Zhaoyuan County), and suddenly found a lot of people surrounded behind Chenjiaweizi Village, which is estimated to be more than four times that of Chenjiaweizi Village. We put the boat ashore and asked a man on the shore. The man whispered to us, "The black dragon of Heilongjiang has landed on the beach!" " "On hearing the news, we were both excited and nervous. Father said, "surfing the internet on fish is not bad." Let's go and have a look! " "Five boats/kloc-more than 0/0 people all landed, and we almost arrived by running.

Seeing that scene, all the old "osprey" like my father were shocked. But I saw a huge black animal lying on the beach. It's too big! Chen Jiaweizi's people built a shed on it with wicker, which is more than 20 meters long. Body length 10 meters, head and neck thinner than the body, as big as a small bull's head. Slightly square, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. There is no fork on its head, but there is a flat shovel-like horn on its forehead, which is short and straight, and its root is about 10 cm thick. The face is similar to the dragon in the painting, with seven or eight long beards, thick and hard, and still shaking. The mouth is like the mouth of a catfish, flat and wide. The mouth is more than 30 centimeters long, and the teeth and tongue are closed. It closes its eyes and there is a fly in the corner of its eye. When its eyelids moved, the fly flew away with a snort. It has four claws, but I can't see how many toes they have, because the claws are deeply stuck in the sand and the calves are thicker than the young man's arms. The first half of its body is very thick. Because it is lying on the ground, it can be seen that it is as high as the waist of an adult, and the estimated diameter is over 1 m. The back of the hind leg is the tail, which is thinner than the front, but it is very long, with a foot of eight or nine meters. The whole image is like a huge four-legged snake (called horse snake in Northeast China, that is, lizard). It is covered with scales, and the scales on its back are iron blue, as big as an ice tray and similar in shape to carp scales. The scales on the belly and claws are pink and white, which are tender and slightly smaller than those on the back. The scales on my back are as dry as dried fish. A large group of flies flew around it, and it shook its scales from time to time and made a dry "click" sound. Every time it rings, the fly flies "buzzing"; As soon as the noise stopped, the flies fell again. Its smell is so strong that it can be smelled hundreds of meters away. There has been a long ditch lying under it, and all the tender weeds around it have been trampled down by it. It's a pity that you can't see what footprints are like.

There are only more than 20 families in Chenjiaweizi, with a total population of more than 60, but more than 300 people are present. It turns out that people from several nearby villages, such as people's enemies, tile houses and Shangwozi, are all here. They have buckets to pick, pots to carry, tools to hold water, and everything is under the command of Jin Gyeong, the pseudo-village head of Chen Jiaweizi. Jin Gyeong forbids people to call it a "dragon", just a "water bug". According to Jin Gyeong, he was here yesterday afternoon, but there was nothing. This morning, someone saw this "water bug", which means that it was lying here last night and was found this morning. Jin Gyeong organized the Chen family to set up a shed, and then asked people to carry water and pour it on the water worms. As soon as the water is poured, the scales on the water bugs shake, and people pour water on the water bugs in buckets. Sheba said, "Look, its neck looks like a horse's neck! This guy is very fat, if only he killed someone and ate meat. "

After watching it for more than an hour, my father said, "Let's go and see it tomorrow." In this way, we barely got on the boat. On the boat, everyone is still talking about it. Cong Laishun said: "If this' water bug' has no tail, it is Lao Li with a bald tail in Heilongjiang." Xie overbearing: "This must be the black dragon of Heilongjiang. Don't you see it's all black? " Everyone didn't even catch the fish.

It rained heavily that afternoon and turned into a rainstorm at night. It rained all night, sometimes slowly, sometimes urgently. The next morning it turned into Mao Mao rain. After our five boats went straight to Chenjiaweizi Village, we got there to have a look, and our hearts were cold! Only a deep ditch where the "Black Dragon" once lay, the sand still exudes a strong smell. According to the local people, "Shuichong" left in the middle of the night. No one knows how and where it went, because it is impossible for anyone to wait for it on a rainy night. However, we can clearly see that there is a deep ditch in the northeast of the sand ditch where it is located. Obviously, it was done when standing up, which means it is likely to go northeast, but how to get there is a mystery. Could it be that the fish scales flew a certain distance like an airplane and then spread out and flew? This can only be a guess.

Later, when we went fishing there, we heard the local people whisper that the Japanese had blocked the news and people were not allowed to talk around. It has been more than 40 years now. We still don't know what animal it is, but the scene more than 40 years ago is still vivid, as if it happened yesterday. ...

This story was published in Volume 3, No.41February, 989 in the column "Wonders of the World" in Selected Books at Home and Abroad, and was edited and published by Shanghai People's Publishing House. The title is "The Black Dragon I See". Dulbert dictated to Ren Dianyuan, a retired cadre of Shan Dairy Farm, and the Dulbert Museum arranged it for young people. Ren Dianyuan died in early March. 1994. The Chinese and Foreign Book Digest published this manuscript, as well as a letter written by Ren Qingchun to the editorial department. Editorial comrades:

/kloc-It was my idea to write this article 0/0 years ago, because my father saw the "dragon" with his own eyes, which shocked me greatly. I always feel that it should be recorded and sorted out, which will be a very precious material. It has been more than 40 years, and many witnesses have passed away. For example, Cong Laishun and Xie Ba in the manuscript have long passed away, and even my father is 73 years old. But he is in good spirits and is not confused at all. It seems as if it happened yesterday.

I don't know if there are any records in Zhaoyuan County, but I believe there are witnesses like my father near Chenjiaweizi. This is the first time I have disclosed it to the newspaper. Although I heard about it from my father a long time ago, I doubted the truth of it at that time. 1986 I went to Zhaoyuan county on business and stayed in an individual hostel opposite the county hostel. An old man in the same room chatted with me at night, and the story was exactly the same as my father's. I asked him where he came from, and he replied that he was from Chen Jiaweizi, who was 77 years old (unfortunately, he forgot to ask his name). He is also one of the witnesses, personally carrying water and pouring it on the black dragon. Through this, I believe that my father is telling the truth.

Ren Qingchun1989 May 17.

Four surveys: Is this a fact?

Are these all true? In order to prove the reliability of this experience, Ren Qing put forward four arguments: First, he was only six or seven years old when he first heard about it from his father. The impatient expression on his mother's face shows that this matter has long been a cliche. The old man wouldn't have told this story if the physical object hadn't stimulated him strongly. Second, my father is old party member. He is honest and kind, and is by no means a man who talks nonsense. He doesn't believe in ghosts and gods and is open-minded. He was the first to lead the masses to tear down temples and smash idols in the 1940s. His father would never have stated it repeatedly if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes. Third, when he stayed in a small hotel in Zhaoyuan County, an old man told the same story. The black dragon 10 meters long that Ren Dianyuan saw on the south bank of Songhua River "looks like a big horse snake", commonly known as lizard. Surprisingly, some "dragons" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions look like lizards, as do some painted pottery patterns in the Neolithic Age. If Ren Dianyuan, who only has a junior high school education, didn't see the "dragon" with his own eyes, how could he know the Oracle Bone Inscriptions glyph of the word "dragon"? The ancient "dragon-falling" incident was recorded more than once in ancient books, and its description was similar to what my father said. How did my father know?

Several versions of Longsheng Jiuzi.

According to the ancient legend of China, the dragon has nine sons, none of whom are like dragons, but each has his own strengths.

Version 1:

Heavier: I am slim (Bi Xi), and I like to pick heavy things best, so I have a stone tablet on my back.

Have a good look: I like to look around most, and I often decorate it on the eaves. Look at the decorative animals on the fork ridges of ancient buildings in China.

Food is the most gluttonous, you can eat and drink, and it is often decorated on the tripod cover. Because you can drink water, it is also decorated on the bridge railing to prevent the bridge from being flooded.

Born black boy: Yazi, a killer, likes fighting and is often decorated on the knife ring and handle of weapons.

Armadillo, which hates crime most, is often decorated on the prison lintel.

Good fireworks: Sister-in-law (sour mud), good fireworks, often decorated on the cover button of incense burner cover.
