The predecessors divided the dragon into four types: the scaly one is called the dragon, the winged one is called the Ying dragon, the horned one is called the dragon, and the hornless one is called the dragon.

Therefore, the Chinese call themselves "descendants of the dragon".

In the earliest days, the phoenix was regarded as yang because of the five elements of fire, representing males; Whereas, the five elements of the dragon belong to water and are regarded as yin, representing the female.

Anonymous users2024-02-07In ancient Chinese mythology, human beings were created by Nuwa kneading loess. Nuwa created human beings, so who did Nuwa herself create? According to the popular theory, Nuwa was first created by a people who worshipped snakes as totems.
What is a totem? Totem is a symbol of the clans of primitive societies. Totemic belief is a very primitive belief.
The color of the snake totem can be clearly seen in the images of Nuwa, Fuxi, etc. The snake totem is widely distributed and is now mainly concentrated in the southeast and southwest of China. In thousands of years of continuous migration, the cultures of various ethnic groups blended with each other, the snake totem spread all over the north and south of the Yangtze River, and there are relics or customs of the snake totem in the Gaoshan people in Taiwan and the Li people in Hainan.
In areas where snakes are used as totems, it is generally believed that"Snakes"Yes"Dragons"The original form,"Dragons"Yes"Snakes"The divinity is revealed. Therefore, in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui, it is called a domestic snake"Canglong"、"Tenryu"、"Family Dragon"And so on, in Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and other places, some ethnic groups call themselves"Dragonseed"、"Dragonman"、"Ryudo"And build a snake temple to worship the snake god.
It can be seen from this that our Chinese nation is the descendant of the dragon and has deep historical roots. The dragon is a symbol of the Chinese, and the Chinese nation proudly considers itself to be the "descendant of the dragon".
