Characteristics of the zodiac sign Dragon

 

Dragon, in Chinese myths and legends, is a mythical animal with the image of a snake body, crocodile head, lizard legs, eagle claws, snake tail, antlers, fish scales, beards at the corners of the mouth, and beads under the forehead. Ancient people divided dragons into four types: those with scales are called Jiaolong, those with wings are called Yinglong, those with horns are called Qiulong, and those without horns are called Chilong. There is also a saying that a dragon with two horns is a dragon, a dragon with one horn is a dragon, a chili is a hornless creature, and a coryza is a creature without legs.

The legendary ancestors of mankind, Fuxi and Nuwa, both had dragon bodies and human heads (or snake bodies and human heads), and were also called "dragon ancestors". The ancestors of the Chinese nation, Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang, are said to have a close relationship with dragons. "The Yellow Emperor's dragon Xuanyuan's dragon picture comes out of the river" ("The Year of the Bamboo Secretary"). It is said that Emperor Yan was born and died after sensing the "dragon head" for his mother. Later he turned into a red dragon. Therefore, the Chinese call themselves "descendants of the dragon".

In various dynasties in Chinese history, emperors also called themselves the "true dragon emperor", and the dragon also symbolized power.

It is said that the dragon can hide and appear, ascending to the sky in the spring breeze and diving into the abyss in the autumn breeze. It can also stir up clouds and cause rain. The dragon queen became a symbol, and the emperor was also called the real dragon emperor. The utensils used in the palace were also decorated with dragons. The dragon was worshiped as the ancestral god by the Chinese ancestors, and "dragon" was generally respected. There are many legends about dragons spread among Chinese folk.

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" records that Xia Houqi, Lingshou, Jumang, etc. all "ride the rain dragon". There are also legends such as "Zhuan Xu rode a dragon to the four seas" and "Emperor Ku rode a dragon in spring and summer". ​

In China, customs such as "dragon lantern dancing" ("dragon dance", "dragon lantern dance") are popular.

The dragon ranks fifth in the traditional Chinese zodiac.

The dragon, the phoenix, the unicorn and the turtle are collectively known as the "four auspicious beasts". There are also many classics and historical works that mention the "four auspicious beasts": 猰貐, ju, pi, and suanni. The green dragon, the white tiger, the red bird, and the basalt are the four symbols of Chinese astronomy.

Legend has it that the dragon gave birth to nine sons: Qiu Niu, Yasui, Chaofeng, Pulao, Suanni, Bixi, Bifan, Fuxi, and Chiqi.

It is also said that the nine sons of the dragon are: Bixi, Chiqi, Pulao, Bifan, Taotie, Earthworm, Jiazui, Suanni, and Jiaotu.

There is also a saying that Chi, Qilin, Jian, and Pixiu are also included as the sons of the dragon.

The legendary types of dragons include: Panlong, Chilong, Earth Dragon, Jiaolong, Yellow Dragon, Horned Dragon, Tianlong, Yinglong, Dragon King and Qinglong. Li Dongyang's "Huailutang Collection" was the first to record "Nine Sons of a Dragon".

"The dragon gave birth to nine sons who did not become dragons, and each had his own interests. The prisoner ox was fond of music throughout his life, and the beast carved on the head of the Huqin today is his portrait; Yaizhen, who was fond of killing throughout his life, and the dragon's mouth on the golden knife handle is his portrait; mocking the wind, his life He was very dangerous, and the beast on the corner of the temple is his portrait; Pulao, he was fond of singing, and the animal button on the bell is his portrait; Suanni, he was fond of sitting, and the lion on the Buddha's seat is his portrait; Baxia, he was fond of carrying heavy loads, and now he is his portrait. The beast on the pedestal of the stele is his portrait; Bian, who was fond of litigating throughout his life, and the lion on the prison gate is his portrait; Bixi, who was fond of writing, and the dragons on both sides of the stele are his portrait; Chiki, who was fond of eating, and the head of the beast on the ridge of the palace is His portrait." Li Dongyang asked Ji according to the picture and told nine of them. Nine is actually an approximate number. In fact, there are more than 10 that can be counted, such as Taotie and Jiaotu, which he did not mention. Taotie is the starving guy who never gets enough to eat, and Jiaotu is the image on the door knocker, but Baxia and Bixi seem to be the same thing. Therefore, the turtle carrying the tombstone turned into a dragon pattern in Li Dongyang's eyes, and the beast holding the tombstone actually dominated. Also, since both Xiaofeng and Chiqi were on the roof, why didn't they start fighting? But no matter what, these nine or more than ten princes are still somewhat human beings, each with his own interests, temperament, shortcomings, and duties. They are more like human beings and more human than their fathers. .

In modern research, the zoological truth about dragons is based on the research results published by zoologist Yang Zhongjian and historian He Xin at the end of the last century: the prototype animals of dragons are large reptiles, mainly crocodiles (water dragons) and monitor lizards. (Mountain Dragon). Three generations ago, the climate of ancient China was warm and humid, and many of these two types of animals existed in mainland China. Crocodile bone fossils have been found in Paleolithic and Neolithic sites. The name of the so-called gluttonous "Taotie" in the legend is just a transliteration of the ferocious crocodile/saurus. "Zuo Zhuan" once recorded a famous "dragon" fight in the Yellow River swamp area, which was a crocodile mating fight.

In the 1970s, a "C"-shaped jade dragon was unearthed in Sanxingtala Village, Wengniute Banner, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia. Later, archaeological surveys confirmed that the jade dragon was a relic of the Hongshan Culture that dates back about 5,000 years.

In 1987, a clam sculpture of a dragon and tiger was discovered in Tomb No. 45 of the Xishuipo Site in Puyang, Henan Province. Archeology and carbon-14 dating of the tomb date it to about 6,500 years ago. According to research by scholars Li Xueqin, Feng Shi and others, the clam sculpture dragon and tiger discovered in Tomb No. 45 are closely related to the four images in traditional Chinese astronomy.
