The Chinese legend of the dragon appeared in which period and what it represented

Dragons"Appeared in the primitive society Neolithic.

As a primitive totem worship, the dragon represents the Chinese emperor, imperial power, the Chinese nation, and Chinese culture.

Regarding the origin of the dragon, after a long period of research and research, people have finally reached a relatively unanimous consensus: the dragon is a complex of a variety of animals, and it is a symbol of totem worship formed in primitive society.

Dragons originated in the early Neolithic period, no less than eight thousand years from today. During this period, the primitive ancestors no longer simply and passively relied on the rewards of heaven, they raised wild horses, bison, wild boars and other animals they hunted; Instead of just eating the wild fruits that were picked, they were selectively planted with grains for harvest. They were able to skillfully make fire, learned to build simple houses out of wood, began to polish stone and bone tools, and made pottery by hand, and gradually settled down and engaged in productive activities.

Production activities have made people's contact with nature more and more extensive, and the impact of nature, as an incredible force other than man, on people's spiritual world has also become greater and greater.

Why do fish swim inhabitably, bay crocodiles have a terrible voice, snakes are eerie, and lizards are weird? Why are the clouds rolling, the lightning flashing, the thunder rumbling, and the rain pouring down? Why are the waves rolling, the rainbows running through the sky, and the mudslides roaring down, devouring people and animals, invincible?

The behavior of these animals and the ever-changing natural phenomena of nature could not be scientifically explained by the ancients.

They vaguely guessed that there should be an infinitely powerful "divine being" related to "water" who dominates, commands, manipulates, and manages these animals and celestial phenomena, just as a clan must have a leader; In other words, these animals and natural phenomena are the embodiment of the character of this "divine object", just like people want to speak, shout, eat, drink, sleep, laugh and scold.

The dragon, as a cult phenomenon, an "understanding" of the incredible forces of nature, began its "fuzzy collection" from this time.

Dragons, in fact, are similar to the "gods" or "Santa Claus" in the West, they are all fantasized by people themselves. But God is more lucky, and now there are many people who worship him, and Santa Claus has a lot of fans, but the dragon is not so lucky.

The dragon appeared in the faience culture period, when there were frequent floods, and people saw that frogs could swim in the water, so they worshiped it and painted it on pottery. In the beginning, they drew frogs vertically, and they drew a lot, but then they didn't draw enough and painted horizontally, and the frogs they drew were W-shaped and vertical in the middle, and many of them became dragons when they were together.

The legend of the dragon first originated in the Neolithic Age, and in the primitive society, the dragon was a national totem imagined by the primitive ancestors.

It is said that the dragon originated in the period of the Yellow Emperor, and is a kind of symbol formed by the fusion of the totems of various ethnic tribes, and has a history of seven or eight thousand years.

In the past, each tribe had different totems, and then one tribe defeated another tribe and would merge the totems into their own tribe, so that the prototype of the dragon was slowly formed.

Dragons are not imaginary! It's real! The dragon can't see the head but the tail, and mortals can't see the dragon!

The origin of the dragon is "to have the body of a snake, the head of a crocodile, the image of a horse, and the claws of an eagle." "There are dragons.
