Who is the only country in the world that uses a dragon as its national flag? Is it closely related to us?

This country is the Kingdom of Bhutan. During the Tang Dynasty, this country was once a small tribe of Tubo and a subordinate vassal state at that time. In ancient my country, the dragon was a symbol of the emperor, and ordinary people who used the dragon at will would be severely punished. Therefore, it was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty that the dragon entered thousands of homes. However, the dragon is not the national flag of our country. It is the national flag of Bhutan, a country that was closely related to us.

Bhutan was influenced by Han culture during the Tang Dynasty. During the Tang Dynasty, the Kingdom of Bhutan was just a tribe of Tubo. At that time, the Tang Dynasty was very prosperous and the Han culture had a long history. So over time, this tribe was influenced by Han culture and accepted the existence of dragon as a noble meaning. Later, this tribe was also a subordinate of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, so it received a great cultural influence.

However, the dragon on the national flag of Bhutan is somewhat different from the traditional dragon. The national flag of the Qing Dynasty was also designed with a dragon as a graphic, but the dragon on it does have five claws. If you look closely, you will find that the national flag of Bhutan has four claws. Because Bhutan was just a vassal state at that time, it naturally could not use real dragons. It was not until the Qing Dynasty finally overturned that Bhutan became independent. Bhutan does have a respect for dragons. Because the weather there is changeable, they believe in the existence of dragons. Therefore, their country is also called the "Land of Dragons".

Bhutan is also the country with the highest happiness index in the world. Bhutan has a small population, a relatively small country, and average economic development, but its citizens are very satisfied with their lives. Therefore, the people in a country are happy and happy, and the country's beautiful scenery is also a very good place. Such a country that knows how to enjoy contentment and has beautiful scenery is also a good place to travel.
