What is Shenlong Culture? What is Chinese dragon culture

What is the culture of gods and ghosts Where does the belief in ghosts and gods come from? Are there any ghosts or gods in the world? What is the necessary connection between communists and atheism? Why are many leading cadres keen on "asking ghosts and gods without asking the common people"? Why many are.

Dragon culture is related to dragons, it's so simple, okay?

The image of the dragon has been deeply imprinted into every corner of our society and affects all aspects of our culture. For thousands of years in China, the dragon has become a kind of cultural cohesion and accumulation. For every descendant of Yan and Huang, the image of the dragon can be described as a symbol, a mood and an emotion.

Dragon culture influences everyone who has Chinese blood, therefore, "dragon people" and "dragon country" have gradually been recognized by the world and become the representative of the Chinese nation!

The dragon totem is the national totem of the Han nationality in China. The national totem of the Han nationality is composed of a dragon and a phoenix, which means yin and yang, that is, men and women, because the Han nationality has a large population and occupies most of China's historical development, so it continues the oldest animal in China, the dragon, as a symbol of its own nation.

The dragon is the totem and symbol of the Chinese nation (i.e., the majority of the Chinese). The dragon culture has a long history of 8,000 years and is a prominent symbol of Chinese culture. There are probably more than 300 dragon incidents recorded in the official history of Chinese dynasties, and other types of documents are even larger.

The image of the dragon has penetrated into all corners of society, and the influence of the dragon has spread to all levels of culture, and it is colorful. Dragon decoration, dragon carving, dragon kiss in the building, dragon dance (dragon lantern dance, dragon lantern), February two dragons raise their heads to eat dragon beard noodles, Dragon Boat Festival dragon boat race, dragon pictures, dragon calligraphy, dragon poetry, dragon songs, etc. are long-term popular folk culture. The dragon has become a kind of cultural cohesion and accumulation.

It is worth noting that the correct English translation of the dragon is "loong", which is different from the European dragon (dragon, demon) structure, and is a different species. In terms of the body of the snake and the angel, the Chinese dragon is similar to the early Western seraph (four-legged seraph (four-legged serpent, seraphim).

In Chinese culture, dragons have an important place and influence. From the Neolithic Age, more than 7,000 years ago, the ancestors worshipped the totem of the primitive dragon, and today people still use idioms or allusions with the word "dragon" to describe the beautiful things in life.

For thousands of years, dragons have permeated all aspects of Chinese society and become a kind of cultural cohesion and accumulation. The dragon has become a symbol of China, a symbol of the Chinese nation, and a symbol of Chinese culture. For every descendant of Yan and Huang, the image of the dragon is a symbol, a mood, and an emotion connected with flesh and blood!

The titles of "descendants of the dragon" and "descendants of the dragon" often make us excited, excited, and proud. In addition to spreading and inheriting the dragon culture in the land of China, it has also been brought to the world by the Chinese who have traveled overseas, and the most and most eye-catching ornaments are still dragons in the Chinese residential areas or Chinese towns in various countries around the world. As a result, "the descendants of the dragon" and "the kingdom of the dragon" have also been recognized by the world.

The Chinese dragon is unique to the form of oriental mysticism, through complex and changeable artistic shapes, containing the basic concepts unique to Chinese and Chinese culture:

The first layer, the concept of the dragon From the image of the Chinese dragon, there are four concepts that the Chinese attach the most importance to, the cosmology of the unity of heaven and man; the embodiment of mutual assistance between benevolence and love; the development concept of yin and yang; An inclusive and multicultural outlook.

The second layer, the concept of the dragon Behind the image of the Chinese dragon and the concept of the dragon, it contains the ideal goals and values of the Chinese when dealing with the relationship between the four main subjects, pursuing the harmony of the relationship between heaven and man, the harmony of interpersonal relations, the harmony of the contradictory relationship between yin and yang, and the harmony of multicultural relations.

The third layer, the spirit of the dragon is the basic spirit of Chinese culture that is pluralistic and innovative, which is the deepest cultural heritage of the Chinese dragon image and dragon culture. Wang Dong believes that exploring the deep connotation of Chinese dragon culture will help solve some of the clashes of civilizations in the contemporary world.

Isn't it one of the three emperors Wudi Shenlong, Fuyi, Huangdi, Yao Shunyu, Zhou Wen, Wuwang Shangtang Shennong is the legendary inventor of agriculture and medicine. In ancient times, the people lived a life of gathering, fishing and hunting, and he invented and made wooden rakes and wooden rakes to teach the people agricultural production. It reflects the progress of China's primitive era from gathering, fishing and hunting to agricultural production.

Legend has it that he tasted herbs, discovered medicinal herbs, and taught the people to heal diseases.

After Fuxi, Shennong is another legendary figure who has made a lot of contributions to the Chinese nation. In addition to inventing farming techniques, he also invented medicine, formulated a calendar, and pioneered water conservancy and irrigation technology that connected nine wells. Because of his invention of farming technology and called Shennong, because of the fire of the king, so called Emperor Yan, Red Emperor, Lie (Li) Shan clan, and became the leader of the Yellow Emperor to compete for the world.

For a long time, the question of whether Shennong's clan is the Yan Emperor has been unresolved.

Legend has it that Shennong was born with a "crystal belly", which is almost completely transparent, and all the internal organs can be seen, and what is eaten can be seen. At that time, people often got sick and even died from indiscriminate eating. For this reason, Shennong decided to taste all the herbs, put the edible ones in a bag on the left side of his body, and introduce them to others to eat and use them for medicinal purposes; If you can't eat it, you put it in the right bag of your body to remind people that you can't eat it.

The generational record of the Shennong clan in ancient history books is as follows: the reign of the Shennong clan went through seventy generations, and (one says seventeen generations) only declined when the Yellow Emperor tribe rose. There is a problem here that I forgot to explain before, that is, in the era when the Shennong clan included the Shennong clan before, titles like Fuxi, Nuwa, and Shennong were collectively for a certain tribe or several generations of chiefs of a tribe, not for a single monarch.

However, later generations of scholars often have disagreements, for example, in the historical records of the ancient Shu Kingdom, many people believe that silkworm Cong and Yu Yu are two generations of kings of the ancient Shu Kingdom, but in fact, Silkworm Cong and Yu Yu are two ancient Shu dynasties that grew up for hundreds of years, and each dynasty has more than a dozen generations. (Historical Records.) It is also mentioned in the Five Emperors Benji:

When the Yellow Emperor rose, it happened to be "the decline of Shennong", and the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor fought in the field of Hanquan. Notice the word "world". That's why the reigns of Fuxi, Nuwa, and Shennong are often hundreds or even thousands of years.
