Are there dragons in the world?

There are no dragons in the world.

Dragon is a magical animal in ancient legends of China. Dragon is one of the most representative traditional cultures of Han nationality, and other Asian countries and nationalities are also influenced by loong culture.

Legend has it that it can be hidden, detailed and huge, short and long. The vernal equinox ascends to the sky, the autumnal equinox dives into the deep, and it calls for rain, and these are the images of dragons developed in the later period, which are more complicated than the original dragons.

Create a background?

The productivity of early society was low, and people lived in a harsh natural environment, unable to control the natural forces independently and unable to explain their own sources. They are full of illusions, longings and even fears about nature, and worship all kinds of natural or supernatural forces that are more powerful than human beings. This is the social foundation of totem and ghosts and gods.

The formation of dragon totem can be traced back to the ancient Fuxi era, when the snake was the totem. According to ancient records, Chen Cang, who was born and ruled, was born in Chen. He reigned for one hundred and fifty years until the fifteenth year. Fu originated, developed, entered Guanzhong along the Weihe River basin, left Tongguan, moved eastward to Xiaoshan, Lushan and Taihang Mountain, then turned southeast, and finally ended in Chen. The activity area is roughly consistent with the distribution area of Yangshao cultural ancient sites.
