Do dragons really exist?

Dragons really existed.

Dragon is one of the oldest clan totems of Han nationality. In ancient times, people feared nature and worshipped divine power, so they created such an image, worshipped it and prayed for peace.

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.

I don't want to prove the existence of dragons by guessing, because guessing is useless and I have to take hard goods. If you browse the history books, you will find some clues. No, this level of record should not be called a clue, because there are many past events like Yingkou dragon falling incident in historical records, which are very detailed and have been proved.

Let me give you a few examples:

1. The earliest recorded dragon falling event was in Xia Dynasty.

Emperor Kong Jia ascended the throne in the year of Renyin, specializing in ghosts and gods, not attending court, not being good at governing the country, and many princes in the world rebelled. Watching the clouds play, I just don't know. Ministers refused to listen to suggestions. One day, two dragons, a female and a male, landed outside the gate.

It means that Emperor Kong Jia lost his virtue after he ascended the throne, and the minister's persuasion was invalid. One day, two dragons, a female and a male, descended from the sky and landed outside the chaomen gate.

2. Five elements of the later Han Dynasty:

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. In modern international measurement, one foot is equal to 3.3 meters. In the twenty-fourth year of Jian 'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Huanglong appeared in Chishui, Wuyang, and left after nine days. So, a temple was built and a monument was erected.

This is similar to Gaoyou dragon when it absorbs water, but the dragon in the reign of Emperor Han Guang is closer to the crowd. About Gaoyou dragon sucking water and shooting dragons, you can search for it yourself. When this video was put on the fruit station, a dragon swam through the dark clouds. Later, the other station P became three birds, and I don't know what it was to cover up.

3. The Book of Jin (volume 190, record 9);

In the first year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (A.D. 345), the Dragon Boat Festival of Murong Mu, the great ancestor of Emperor Yan, took place in April: "There are black dragons and white dragons, and Longshan sees one. I personally led a team to observe, and walked more than 200 steps to sacrifice Taizai. The two dragons frolicked for the first time, lost their horns and left. Junle, return to the palace, forgive its territory, call it the new palace dragon, and set up the Longxiang Buddhist temple on the mountain. "

This is even closer, only more than 200 steps away from the ministers. The black dragon and the white dragon played for a while before flying away.

4. Supplement to the Year of the Tang Dynasty (this is a translation):

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.

Go and ask around. Everyone in Tongcheng county knows that there is a dragon sleeping river and a mountain called Longmian Mountain in Tongcheng. This has something to do with the death of the Dragon clan in Tongcheng.

History books brag? People still brag to them?

Oh, no

5. Thirty-two years of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1 162):

In the thirty-second year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (A.D. 1 162), a dragon was found near Taibai Lake, with huge scales, white belly and green back, fins on its back and high horns on its head. You can smell the fishy smell from 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.

6. Lang Ying's seven revisions:

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. Dozens of feet is about 100 meter, which is beyond people's imagination of the length of ordinary animals.

7. The history of the Qing Dynasty is clearer and closer to modern times:

In July of the seventh year of Kangxi, there was a dragon playing in front of Xianning county government, and it was raining, so I couldn't get up and jump. People in the city are swimming in the city with their necks tied.

In June of sixty years, Yi Long hung in front of the Jintan, turned his nose, burned incense and prayed, and stayed in the air.

In May of the fifty-fifth year of Qianlong, the water rose in Zhoushan, Dinghai, drifted into the field and flooded the population. After three days, the dragon cut three sections, but the tail was gone, and the scale was as big as a sunflower fan.

Xianfeng three years in November, southwest of Xining Chuanlong, smelly for several miles.

8. Yongping County Records:

In the summer of the 19th year of Daoguang (AD 1839), a dragon landed in Laoting County in the lower reaches of Luanhe River, covered with flies. 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.

It seems that dragons generally don't land, and many dragons only land when they are injured or unable to leap.

9, Guangxu "Jiangxi Tongzhi" volume ninety-eight:

In winter and December, the dragon saw Fengcheng Tanaka, more than forty feet long and his head was like a scale. Seven days later, he flew away in the wind and rain.

This is very modern.

Some students questioned why there were so many such things in Qing Dynasty. And there are fewer incidents in other dynasties? Does the dragon also keep pace with the times? In fact, there were not many dragons and dragons in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and there were many materials in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Most of the relevant and irrelevant materials in the Qin, Han, Tang and Song Dynasties were burned by the war. Some people have seen dragons in modern times, but most people haven't, so they don't think dragons will exist.

Wang Depeng: Bean, I've seen dragons, but others say I'm dreaming. I saw them in a thunderstorm. There is an extinct volcano near my hometown. The elders often say that the dragon died on the mountain.

Feng Huan: Tongcheng is also called Longcheng.

Sun Qinglin: There is another saying that the main reason for China dragonflies is that when the dragon ascends to heaven, it will generate "Qi", which is what the dragon itself lives in "Dragon Gone with the Wind". Fish has a "fish float" and dragons have a "dragon float". In ancient times, it was said that "Qi" was a gas with lower air quality than hydrogen, and the dragon itself hoarded a lot of "Qi".

Wei Yun: We also have them here. There is a place where the Dragon King Temple was built overnight. It is said that there is divine power to help.

Li Ziman: Last time I went back, I asked my great-grandparents alone. They all said that it used to rain and dragons would surge in the clouds, but now I can't see them. I once read a post that purebred dragons completely left the earth in the 1960s.

Well, we won't quote the witness's written evidence any more. After all, even if there is a video, they will modify it to avoid causing more trouble.

There must be sex when the dragon comes.

"Yi" yue:

Respond with the same voice and seek with the same spirit. When the water is wet, the fire will dry. Clouds follow dragons and winds follow tigers. Sages do everything and see everything.

The so-called cloud follows the dragon and the wind follows the tiger. The tiger came, fast and fierce, and the wind followed. That's how the idiom "Tiger gives birth to wind" comes from. As for dragons, I believe that only through clouds can they ascend to heaven, so when they come, there must be clouds. When the clouds go, they will land, and the end will be miserable unless it rains. Dragons are different from tigers. The tiger's prestige is brought out, and the dragon has to conform to the clouds and rain.

To sum up:

Dragons live in deep water.

The dragon looks about the same as the legendary one.

This dragon smells like fish.

Dragons can fly with clouds and rain. If they don't do this, they will fall to the ground and wait for the rain to come before they can escape.

Dragons fly very fast, and the power of flapping and prancing is great.

Dragons are animals, not gods.

I personally believe that dragons exist!
