My system is not decent

It is said that "a dragon has nine sons, each of which is different." The forms of primitive dragons in prehistoric times are also different, but there are still certain rules to follow.

Where did the first dragons come from?It is impossible for the giant dragon sculptures in the Chahai site to appear in the Dragon Court.

But there are smaller dragons like this one in the Dragon Court.

In addition, there are also pottery fragments unearthed from the Chahai ruins here.

Domestically, in 1986, dragon patterns were found on two pottery tablets unearthed from the Chahai site in Liao Province.

Chen Wenzhe also has dragon patterns on the pottery in the Dragon Court.

This shows that the depiction of dragon patterns on pottery at that time should not be an exception.

In 1994, a large dragon-shaped mound was unearthed in the ruins.

This time, the head, neck, body, scales, claws, and tail are arranged in order with reddish-brown conglomerate.

Archaeologists even found cemeteries and sacrificial pits in the belly of the dragon.

This is the earliest known image of a dragon, more than 8000 years ago.

Later, the Xishuipo Mussel Dragon was discovered in China, about 6000 years ago.

This clam-shaped dragon pattern is still controversial.

This is because compared to the dragon-shaped stacks at the Chahai site, this clam sculpture is closer to the image of a dragon.

Compared with the same period, the shape is so advanced that it was once suspected whether it was an archaeological fraud.

After that, there is the curled dragon represented by the Yulong of Hongshan culture.

After that, there is the Samsung Taara Jasper Dragon. This kind of dragon is probably never heard of by anyone who is not a professional.

Many people don't even know where Samsung Tarra is and what it is!

Among the many prehistoric dragon cultural relics, Yulong is a large category.

The Yulong of Hongshan culture is the most representative and the most abundant.

Inner Mongolia's Sanxing Tara dark green jade dragon is known as "the first dragon in China".

Well, there are still many who claim to be "China's No. [-] Dragon", just listen to it.

In the early 20s, a large jade dragon was discovered at the ruins of Wntq Sanxingtala Village in Inner Mongolia.

This jade dragon is dark green, with a curly body in the shape of a "c", 26 centimeters high and intact.

The snout protrudes forward, bends upwards, the mouth is tightly closed, the end of the nose is truncated, and the upper end has a sharp edge.

The end surface is nearly oval, with two symmetrical round holes, which are nostrils.

The Sanxing Tala site belongs to the late Hongshan culture, and this jade dragon should be no later than 5000 years ago.

It has a long snout and slender eyes, a flying mane, and is very handsome.

This type of jasper dragon is rarely found, and it may be the highest-level jade ritual vessel of the Hongshan Culture.

There is also a kind of jade dragon in Hongshan culture, which is cute in shape, and because it looks like a pig, this kind of jade is called "jade pig dragon", which means that the prototype of this kind of jade dragon is a pig.

Shijiahe Culture Jade Dragon, 4600 years ago.

Unearthed in 1988 from the ridge of Xiao's house in Tianmen, North Lake, the dragon's body is curled up in the shape of a jue, almost touching from head to tail.

This kind of jade dragon is close to the shape of the jade pig dragon of Hongshan culture.

ahLingjiatan Jade Dragon, 5300 years ago.

This kind of jade dragon has a protruding snout, two horns are carved on the top of the head, the mouth and nose are carved with Yin lines, and the seventeen oblique lines on the back of the ridge are the scales of the dragon body. The characteristics of the dragon are already very obvious.

Although found in different prehistoric remains, the bodies of these jade dragons all coincided with a curled shape.

The same is true of the painted panlong patterns in Taosi in Xishan later.

At the end of the 20s, a pottery plate with the shape of a colorful dragon was unearthed in the cemetery of Taosi Village, Xiangfen County, Xishan Province.

This faience dish is 8.8 centimeters high, 37 centimeters in diameter, 15 centimeters in bottom diameter, and has oblique folding edges.

Inside the plate is a crooked dragon or snake body, red and black, with ears on the head, slightly open mouth, fine teeth on the top and bottom, and forked tongue sticking out.

The Taosi site represents the middle reaches of the Yellow River, a cultural type of the Longshan culture.

From 500 years ago to 900 years ago.

This pottery plate with dragon pattern was unearthed in the early cemetery of the Taosi site, more than 4000 years ago.

The longan is small and round, with a long mouth slightly open, holding Jiahe in its mouth, and its long and thick body is twisted into a ring shape, with Lin Lin on its body, more like a totemized dragon.

The painted dragon-patterned dishes at the Taosi site were only unearthed in large tombs, and there was only one of them in each tomb, implying the extraordinary nature of this kind of painted dragon-patterned dishes.

In addition to these utensils with obvious dragon patterns, some dragon prototypes have also been unearthed in China.

For example, pottery with salamander patterns, salamanders, commonly known as salamanders, are considered to be one of the prototypes of dragons.

Faced with so many prehistoric dragon cultural relics, sometimes I can't help but suspect that maybe there were dragons in prehistoric times, but they became extinct later.

But if this is the case, the remains and remains of the dragon itself should also be discovered.

Due to the wide distribution of prehistoric dragon cultural remains, the dragons in different sites are not the same, which may explain that there were no so-called dragons in the first place.

In the primitive society, because of the special emotion for a certain animal, the image of the primitive dragon appeared.

But what we call "dragons" today may not have been called dragons back then.

The c-shaped dragon of Hongshan culture continued in the Shang Dynasty and became "orthodox".

The word "dragon" in oracle bone inscriptions and bronze inscriptions has also appeared.

The word "dragon" appeared in the Shang Dynasty at the latest.

The dragons of the Shang Dynasty had a relatively large head, horns, a large mouth, and a curved and slender body.

This obviously has a deep connection with the Jade Pig Dragon of Hongshan Culture.

The many jade dragons unearthed from the tomb of Queen Fuhao of Shang Wang Wuding and the tombs of Yin Ruins may better illustrate this phenomenon.

For some reason, businessmen love Hongshan cultural jades very much, and while treating them as treasures, they also draw nutrients from them.

The progress of the technical level also provides more support for the complexity of the dragon pattern.

Compared with the jade pig dragon of the Hongshan culture, the detailed depiction of the jade dragon of the Shang Dynasty is more exquisite, with horns and dragon scales, and the overall image is more divine.

After three generations, the image of the dragon became more and more complex, but gradually became consistent.

The dragon in the Han Dynasty has basically got rid of the image of reptiles, and its body is closer to the image of beasts.

The apotheosis of the dragon in the Han Dynasty was not unrelated to Liu Bang's entrepreneurship. Liu Bang, who was of ordinary background, was portrayed as a "son of the dragon" because his mother felt the dragon and was born.

Its appearance is even more "Long Zhun and Longyan, with a beautiful beard", which is simply the incarnation of a dragon in the world.

After that, the dragons of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties were very close to the dragons we know now.

The largest specimen, needless to say, is porcelain.

On the porcelain, there are characteristic dragon patterns of each era.

In this way, from 8000 years ago to the present, dragons have run through our entire civilization.

"Tomb robbers are really powerful!" Chen Wenzhe looked at all kinds of jade dragons.

It can be said that Li Jinli has collected all the dragon-shaped artifacts found in any ruins in China.

This is very powerful, and it can only show that before the national excavation, the tomb robbers started their hands in advance.

Some ruins and large tombs have not been visited by a group of tomb robbers.
