According to the research of poet and scholar Wen Yiduo, in China's ancient society, many ethnic groups took the dragon as a symbol of their clan or tribe. Not only the Chinese people in the Central Plains, but also the Xiongnu (Xiongnu, an ancient ethnic minority in the north of China, living in the Mongolian Plateau, living a nomadic life), living in the south of Baiyue (Baiyue, an ancient minority Yue in the south of China, scattered in the southeast coast and the Pearl River Basin) and the southwest Ailao (Ailao, an ancient ethnic minority in the southwest of China, living in Yunnan), all used the dragon as a totem (totem, the transliteration of totem. Each clan in primitive society often uses a certain animal or natural object as the symbol of the clan, which is called a totem), and considers itself to be a dragon clan.
Descendants of dragons. Is the Chinese nation really the descendants of the dragon? Of course not. All of the above are nothing but beautiful myths and legends that have been handed down since ancient times, showing that our nation is remarkable. The dragon is just a symbol of sublime greatness.

In the stone carvings of the Eastern Han Dynasty Wu tomb group in Jiaxiang County, Shandong Province, there is a group of ancient emperor portraits. There are 10 emperors such as Fuxi, Zhurong, Shennong, Yellow Emperor, Tang Yao, and Xia Yu. Among them, 9 emperors are human heads and human bodies, but Fu Xi's image is strange, and they are painted with Nuwa, both of them are human bodies and dragon tails, as if transformed from dragons.
In the ancient mythology of our country, it is said that Fuxi married Nuwa and gave birth to human beings, and human beings are of course the descendants of the dragon, so they are called "descendants of the dragon". Hence the phrase "descendants of the dragon".
The meaning of the descendants of the dragon.
In 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".

It was first believed that the ancestors of human beings had a human head and a snake body, and later they were called dragons by people, and the descendants of the dragon implied a kind of spiritual power, flying like a dragon.
The formation of the dragon records the convergence process of the development of ancient peoples, and it is firmly engraved in the minds of the Chinese, and we are often proud of the descendants of the dragon. There were no dragons in the world, and the earliest legend in the ancient totem era was that the Nuwa clan and the Fuxi clan were human ancestors, and they were both human heads and snake bodies. The development of history, the union of tribes, especially after the two emperors of Yan and Huang united in the north of Baoding, various tribes have joined this big family.
When the horse totem tribe joins in, the head of the horse is added to the head of the snake, the deer totem tribe merges in, the antlers are added to the head of the horse, and the fish tribe comes in, and the fish tribe adds fish scales to the snake. As a result, the dragon embodies a variety of animal characteristics: animal feet, bird tails, and goatees.
The formation of the dragon embodies national equality and democracy, and tribes merge together as one family, regardless of size, which is a pioneering act of excellent national culture, and to this day, the great unity of the people of all ethnic groups still embodies this glorious tradition.
The process of the formation of the dragon is the process of national unity and unification, and this great national integration was basically completed by Tang Yao, and the image of the dragon was determined. According to the "Bamboo Book Chronicle" (escaped the Qin Shi Huang book burning pit Confucianism, to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, in the tomb of King Wei Anli excavated bamboo slips), Yao was born in Yiqi Mountain (in Shunping County, 40 kilometers southwest of Baoding City), Yao's mother Qingdu is the Chen Feng clan, born in the field of Douwei, in the southwest of Baoding City, Tang County, Wangdu area. Tang County has Qingdu Mountain, seven kilometers east of the county seat, and is said to be the place where Yao's mother lives.
There is Yao's mother tomb in Wangdu County, and there is Yaodi Temple in Beiguan.
Qingdu is often born with yellow clouds on it, and when he is an adult, there are often dragons ......Even if the yin wind is four, the red dragon is pregnant, and Yao was born in Danling (i.e., Yiqi Mountain) in 14 months. Yaomu Cave in Yiqi Mountain today, that is, Yao's birthplace. This shows that the Red Dragon Clan lived near Yiqi Mountain at that time, which further deepened the flesh-and-blood relationship between the dragon and the Chinese nation, and also showed that the descendants of the dragon were recognized by the world in Yao.
The Chinese nation has a strong cohesive force and a fine tradition of unity and unity. In the long course of history, many nations in the world have died out, and many of them have made outstanding contributions to mankind. For thousands of years, the Chinese nation has not disintegrated and prospered day by day despite the harsh struggle against nature and the enemy, precisely because it has a glorious overall image, a spiritual bond of unity and progress, and the dragon plays the role of maintaining and centripetal.
Dragon culture has become an important part of oriental culture and has made great contributions to human civilization.
I hope that every Chinese will become a Chinese dragon: "The dragon can be big and small, and can be promoted and hidden; The big one is the clouds and the mist, the small one is hidden in the form, the rising is flying in the universe, and the hidden is lurking in the waves. The dragon changes when it comes, and the Jews have the will to cross the seas.
Dragons are things, comparable to the heroes of the world. Those who are heroes have great ambitions, good plans, opportunities to contain the universe, and those who have the ambition to swallow heaven and earth. ”
