The highest belief of the ancients actually blew water in the QQ group.

From today's point of view, the "Dragon King" is a mythical god completely divorced from modern society. Not only was it upstaged by artificial rainfall and weather forecast, but even the status of folk "belief" which has been circulated for thousands of years was replaced by Jam Hsiao.

If it weren't for the appearance of the man who can speak for Nike with his face in 2020, the "crooked mouth dragon king" would have become a hot topic on the Internet, and I'm afraid the name of the dragon king would have become the most incomparable background board in mythological works with its soldiers and crabs. After all, besides praying for rain, the Dragon King was either stripped of his dragon tendons or occupied the Dragon Palace in this kind of works, which really left no good impression.

But in ancient times, the Dragon King was the peak of Chinese folk belief. Temples dedicated to the Dragon King can be seen from the capital to the countryside. Even if the literal meaning of "Dragon King" is interpreted twice, the special status of its representative can be seen.

In ancient myths and folklore in China, the dragon king means the dragon king and the king of aquatic animals, which means that it is not specific to an individual, but the name of the dragon at the peak of power, just like the dragon king in the east, west, north and south.

However, this description is not entirely correct, because when the myth system developed from "creation" to "heaven", the dragon world was super-living. In order to accommodate these dragons who have nothing to do, God simply lowered the entry threshold of the title and gave birth to the "Dragon King of Jianghu Well", which also made the title lose its exclusive meaning between the lines.

Among them, the famous ones are King Jinghe who was beheaded by a few drops of rain in The Journey to the West, King Jing in The Promise, Dragon King in Dongting Lake and Dragon King in Qiantang River in Liu Yichuan. Besides, there are other dragon kings, such as Yunlong Dragon King, Yulong Dragon King, Xilong Dragon King and Tanlong Dragon King. In other words, as long as there is water, there is a dragon king hiding in it.

In other words, as long as the dragon is an official in the sky, it can be called the "dragon king", and this title has changed from "king" to an official in charge of local rainwater.

Therefore, although the Dragon King was an important object of belief in China's ancient farming period, and its position among the people was almost equal to that of the Bodhisattva, it was not a big official for the gods. In addition, the Dragon King's own strength is weak, and some monsters or gods with superior fighting capacity basically don't give it face, and some "earth dragon clubs" are even worse. They were robbed by monsters and beheaded by heaven. In short, if you are not careful, you will lose your life.
