My system is not decent

The more you understand dragons, the more you can understand that life is not easy for dragons.

From the beasts at the beginning, to the ingredients, until after they became extinct, they slowly gained some status.

And this status comes from mysticism.

Because after the extinction, the ancients didn't know what a creature like a dragon was, so its status gradually improved.

Later, it was gradually perfected, so that it can completely become the image in our imagination, painting and sculpture.

And this kind of dragon, which is the same as the modern dragon, was recorded in the Ming Dynasty after it was perfected.

Li Shizhen said in Compendium of Materia Medica: A dragon has a head like a camel, antlers like a deer, eyes like a rabbit, ears like a cow, a neck like a snake, a belly like a mirage, scales like a carp, claws like an eagle, and palms like a tiger.

There are 81 scales on its back, with a number of nine to nine.Its sound is like a copper plate.

There is a beard beside the mouth, a bright pearl under the chin, and reverse scales under the throat.

There is Boshan on the head, also known as Chimu, and a dragon without Chimu cannot ascend to heaven.

Breathing into clouds can change both water and fire.

At this time, the dragon not only has a stereotyped appearance, but also is omnipotent to call the wind and rain, go up to the sky and enter the earth, which is purely deified.

As you all know, Sanxingdui recently announced a batch of new cultural relics, among which there are a large number of images of dragons.

These artworks are a powerful addition to the culture of dragons during the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

But there are two points that need to be understood. First, dragons were a common animal in ancient times.

Therefore, the appearance of dragons in Sanxingdui is not evidence that Sanxingdui belongs to Chinese culture.

Although many people have always believed that Sanxingdui is the last light of the Chinese gods.

Second, since Sanxingdui is an art of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the image of the dragon did not appear as a totem.

Because at this time, the dragon totem has not yet appeared.

The first exhibition hall that Li Jinli set up in this museum is the Dragon Court.

Since it is called Longting, it is natural that all the collections are dragons.

Therefore, the dragons here are very commemorative dragons, and they are dragons that many people don't know.

Dragon is an ancient totem in Chinese civilization, and there are countless legends about dragons.

But ancient dragons, ancient dragons, many people don't know much about them.

For example, in the Xinglongwa culture, the oldest dragon was unearthed.

That is to say, only the jade pig dragon of Hongshan culture and the so-called first dragon of China more than 3000 years ago are unearthed from it, all of which are not worthy of the name.

The Xinglongwa culture is about 1 to 7000 years old, which is equivalent to the legendary Fuxi era about 1 years ago, and earlier than the Huangdi era 5000 years ago.

This point is earlier than Sanxingdui culture.

The appearance of this dragon means that the Chinese civilization has been closely connected with Inner Mongolia, Liao and Hlj in the Fuxi era.

When it comes to Xinglongwa culture, many people find it unfamiliar.

The Xinglongwa Culture is named after Xinglongwa Village, Baoguotu Township, Chifeng ahq, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. It belongs to the early Neolithic Age, dating from 10000 BC to 7000 BC.

The Xinglongwa Culture unearthed a stone pile plastic dragon about 8000 years ago, which is the earliest dragon-shaped cultural relic in my country.

The dragon is made of reddish-brown basalt natural stones of equal size, with a total length of 19.7 meters.

Its overall shape holds its head high, opens its mouth, bends its body, arches its back, and its tail is looming.

This dragon is a set of ancient real dragons unearthed by archaeologists. It first appeared 8000 years ago.

Dragon has a special meaning in Chinese culture. We have called ourselves "the descendants of the dragon" since ancient times, and it is not unreasonable to regard the dragon as the totem of the Chinese nation.

The image of the dragon appeared much earlier than we thought.

In the oracle bone inscriptions of the Shang Dynasty, the word "dragon" appeared.

Judging from the shape of the characters, the dragon has a winding and slender body, two long horns and a big mouth.

When did the image of the earliest dragon appear in China?

What other discoveries have been made in archaeology?None of this is certain.

Because archaeology is going on, excavations surprise us from time to time.

For example, in 1982, 2.5 kilometers southwest of Chahai Village in Fuxin, Liaoning Province, archaeologists discovered an 8000-year-old ancestor site.

After 7 times of excavation, a total of 55 original house sites were excavated, and a nearly 20-meter-long stone pile plastic dragon was unearthed.

According to research, this is the earliest dragon-shaped relic discovered so far in my country.

As for the Hongshan Cultural Site in Chifeng, Liao Province, it only has a history of more than 5000 years.

Many jade artifacts were unearthed from the Hongshan Culture, among which there is a kind of C-shaped dragon and jade pig dragon with peculiar shapes.

The next one is the Lingjiatan Jade Dragon, which is similar in shape to the Jade Pig Dragon of Hongshan Culture.

This dragon is also connected end to end, and there is also a small hole near the tail for threading a rope.

The jade dragon uses engraved lines to express the dragon scales, and the dragon's horns are faintly visible on the head.

The Jade Dragon has a long diameter of 4.4 cm, a short diameter of 3.9 cm, and a thickness of 0.2 cm.

Next is 4000-3000 years ago, the image of the dragon.

At the site of the Taosi Temple in Linfen, Xishan, the image of a dragon is depicted on a muddy pottery plate.

The inner wall of the pottery dish depicts a curled up dragon with a spike in its mouth.

In June 2004, a turquoise dragon-shaped vessel was unearthed at the Erlitou site in Yanshi, Nanhe, which caused a sensation in the archaeological circle at that time.

The dragon-shaped vessel is regarded by experts as the most orthodox root of the dragon culture of the Chinese nation.

This turquoise dragon-shaped vessel is composed of more than 2000 turquoise pieces of various shapes.

The size of each piece of turquoise is only 0.2-0.9 centimeters, the thickness is only about 0.1 centimeters, and the whole dragon is 64.5 centimeters long.

Jade Dragon uses three sections of blue and white jade to form the middle ridge of the face and the bridge of the nose. The eye sockets on both sides are clearly outlined, and the round cake-shaped white jade is used as the eyes.

There are still many such combination dragons, such as the dragon discovered at the Panlong City site in Beihuwu City, which was made of gold and turquoise, and was taken out as a whole after it was discovered in the tomb.

There are different opinions about the origin of the image of the dragon.

For example, Mr. Wen Yiduo proposed that the image of the dragon is derived from a snake. Some scholars believe that the image of a dragon is derived from a crocodile. Others believe that a dragon is a combination of horses, lizards and other animals.

In any case, the dragon was formed in our country 8000 years ago and has continued to develop until now.

Of course, it is impossible for the earliest and largest stone withered dragon to be hidden in the museum established by Chen Wenzhe.

However, there are also a few broken pieces of stone withered dragons that look miserable.

Li Jinli had someone do a comprehensive identification, especially the carbon 14 dating, which proved that these broken stones were indeed from more than 7000 BC.

It was finally confirmed that this is probably the Xinglongwa stone pile plastic dragon.

Dragon is the totem of Chinese ancestors. In ancient times, Chinese civilization was mainly located in the Yellow River and Yangtze River basins. Why did the oldest dragon appear in Xinglongwa?

These dragons were unearthed in Liao Province, which also belongs to the Xinglongwa culture.

The earliest record about dragons appeared in "Bamboo Book Chronicles".

It is recorded in the book that Fuxi used dragons to discipline officials.

Fuxi set up many names with dragons, among which is Heilongshi.

Hei belongs to the north, so the Heilong family is the official in charge of the north.

hlj's black dragon corresponds to the black dragon's ability.
