In Celtic mythology, there are two places where the red dragon is recorded.

1, from Mabinogion-the? Stories? Yes? Lludd? And then what? Llevelys ("Mabinogion-The Story of Lute and Riva")

Outline:

During the reign of King Root, there were terrible screams every May, which made men lose their strength, women miscarry, young people lose their rationality, animals can't have children, the land is barren and plants wither. King Root turned to his brother, King Riva of France. Li Wa told him that because of the fierce struggle between the red dragon and the foreign white dragon, it was the painful cry of the red dragon. Later, King Root took Liwa's advice and dug a deep pit in the center of England. The pit was filled with honey and covered with a cloth. In the evening, when the two dragons were tired of fighting, they went to the pit to drink honey. So Lute wrapped the dragons in cloth while they were asleep, put them in a sarcophagus and buried them in Dieners? Emiles.

2, from "Historia? Brittonum "(temporarily translated" Britain in History ")

Outline:

King Votigan wants to go to Dieners? Emrys (where the dragon was buried) built a castle, but the raw materials used to build the city disappeared inexplicably every midnight. His think tank told him that it was necessary to find a boy born of a virgin, sacrifice him, and sprinkle his blood on the foundation of the castle, so as to start construction smoothly. King Fu Tigeng found such a boy (later Merlin). The boy denied what the think tank said and told the king about the two dragons. The king ordered the ground to be dug up, and sure enough, he found two sleeping snakes, one red and the other white. After the snake wakes up, continue to fight. At first, the white snake prevailed. Later, the red snake turned the tables and the white snake escaped. The boy said that the red and white snakes are actually two dragons, the white dragon represents the Saxons and the red dragon represents the king's people, and predicted that the king's people would drive away the Saxons.

He married his daughter to Vortigern, but secretly ambushed and killed all 300 nobles in Wotigan at the wedding banquet. Only Vortigern escaped. So Han's vultures occupied the magpie's nest. It was not until Han's death that Ambrose and his brother Panlong (father of Arthur) defeated the Saxon troops and regained the throne. In order to commemorate the 300 nobles who were killed, it is not allowed to look for strange stones as monuments.
