Chinese believe that the oldest ancestor is the dragon, why do the Chinese worship the dragon so muc

The totem that ancient people worshipped the most was the dragon totem. Now I'm going to talk about the dragon totem. Totem is a very long condition in the history of human society. From antiquity.

Since then, a tribe or group with a common belief has used certain things in nature, including animals, green plants, and some lifeless objects (such as the sun, moon, mountains, etc.), as the goal and spirit of their worship.

and thus form a common imagination to connect everyone as a whole. Just as every country in the world today has its own five-star red flag or national emblem**, it is also like life where we can see countless sizes of pavements and even various organizations, often hanging their own unique logos in eye-catching parts. This sign is like a true portrayal, a practical and abstract representation of the existence of the group behind it; And the totem usually also represents the spiritual outlook and inner depths of the group.

There are many records about totems, such as Shun's previous order to be in charge of the song of loyalty and forgiveness, and after Kui died, he once said a sentence, called "Hitting stones and throwing stones, and a hundred beasts lead the dance". Stone is a percussion instrument made of stones.

In fact, it is a stone chime. In ancient times, traditional musical instruments were divided into eight kinds according to different materials, which were called "eight sounds", namely: gold, stone, earth, leather, silk, wood, and bamboo. Chime belongs to a type of "stone". Judging from the font, in the oracle bone inscription.

The character "sound" resembles an iron frame suspended from a stone, and the word "殳" is a small wooden hammer in the left hand beating, so the "sound" of the sound is added to the ear under it to indicate the sound heard. Kui means that when the chime is beaten to guide the song, many people are dancing along with the song in fur and animal masks; This naturally does not really make the beast dance, but it is a sacrificial ritual of the masked totem", the specific content of the totem is to mean a strong and ** beast with energy, speed and reproduction rate.

People often say that the sons and daughters of China are the descendants of the dragon, and that the emperor is the ninety-five, what kind of animal is the dragon here, and when was it created? There has been a dispute about this situation. In the pre-Qin period.

The view of the dragon has long been produced, and there is a description of the life realm of "the corpse dwells and the dragon sees, and the abyss is silent and thunders" in the "Zhuangzi Zaiyou" chapter in the Eastern Han Dynasty; And "Historical Records: The Biography of Laozi Han Feilie" says Mencius.

After seeing me and being taught by him, he praised me from the bottom of his heart that "he is like a dragon", which is actually as unfathomable as a flying dragon.

But Zhou Yi. , dragons are mentioned many times, and there must be a reason, before there were people, there was another species called Tyrannosaurus rex on the earth.

The animals have ruled for 100 million years, can we imagine that the dragon we see now in the ancient painting with teeth and claws is not the smartest kind of Tyrannosaurus rex in the dinosaur world, and this kind of Tyrannosaurus rex is the development overlord of that era? Because of the dragon in that ancient painting, and the dinosaur fossils that have been excavated today.

There are some similar.

Because the dragon is an all-powerful divine beast in the hearts of the ancients, it can call the wind and rain, make the country and the people safe, the wind and rain are smooth, punish the evil and promote the good, and reflect the good wishes of the people. And since ancient Chinese culture was developed from the Yellow River Valley, the dragon is a descendant of the totem, because there were many tribes who believed in other totems before. Later, a more powerful tribe emerged.

Every time they conquer a tribe, they take a portion of the totem from which tribe and add it to their own totem. Later the tribes were united. All the tribes and totems turned into dragons.

If you look closely, you can see that the image of the dragon is made up of a certain part of many animals. And the leader of this great tribe that unified all the tribes was the Yellow Emperor.

Because the dragon is a divine beast, it represents the supreme thing, so we worship the dragon so much.

As we all know, the Chinese are the descendants of the dragon, but the dragon does not exist, and the dragon should be a spiritual symbol, with the spirit of the dragon and horse.

For us Chinese, the dragon is both a totem and a belief.

The main reason why it is not considered real is that no living body has been found, there are no living bones, and there are no officially certified undisputed images.

In other words, the current Chinese dragon only exists in written records and oral traditions, although the description of the dragon is very detailed, as if it really existed.

However, there is no way to prove its existence.

Be. In ancient times, there were indeed dragons, but because the natural environment was getting worse and worse, they were extinct, which is also an evolution of nature. Otherwise, existence is probably a very scary thing.

No, it is an animal imagined in ancient times based on the combination of 12 animals, it represents auspiciousness and wealth, is the spiritual symbol of the Chinese, this cultural inheritance China has a profound cultural heritage.

So far, there are no reports that can prove that the dragon really exists, he is admired in the hearts of the Chinese nation, and he can be an illusory existence.

In the period of ancient Chinese legends and totems, it was rumored that the Nuwa and Fuxi clans were the ancestors of human beings, and they were both human-headed snake bodies. In the Hemudu culture, China's clans and tribes developed rapidly, tribal alliances appeared, totem culture and art were combined with each other, and many animal elements were added to the snake's body, so that the dragon totem was produced. In particular, the two tribes of the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor united and defeated the Xuan You tribe, and the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor were recognized by future generations as the common ancestors of the Chinese nation, and everyone Chinese also called themselves "sons and daughters of China" or "descendants of the dragon".

After experiencing the influence of the dragon totem and the dragon culture of the "official network" for thousands of years, the shadow of the dragon has become ubiquitous. Folk customs also appeared dragon lanterns, dragon boat races and other theme activities, everyone used the object, with the dragon pattern, engineering buildings also have the shadow of the dragon, in order to protect the people's life. The dragon has infiltrated into all fields of China's social development and has become a kind of cultural condensation and accumulation.

In the end, it became a representative of the national spirit. All in all, dragon in China is a brand image full of representative meanings.

Dragons, in fact, are the myths and legends of animals that we think of in ancient times based on the human parts of actual animals. It is generally believed that the dragon was formed by a combination of nine animals: rabbit eyes, antlers, bull's mouth, hump's head, mirage, tiger's paw, eagle's claws, fish scales, and snake body.

The eyes, mouths, heads, palms, and human bodies of those commonly used animals make up the mythical animal of the dragon, which has become the most harmful brand image in China's history.

"Dragon" is an ancient description of sincerity, sincerity, and talent. The first hexagram in the Book of Changes, Qian, is described as a "dragon", and the words "hidden dragon", "seeing dragon", "ti long", "leaping dragon", "giant dragon" and "Kanglong" basically describe the stages of development of life and each level of social development. In Chinese culture, the dragon represents the bottom of the sky, energy, and good luck.

In the Chinese concept, the flying dragon has always guarded China. In the long run, the dragon has become the spiritual totem of the Chinese.

In ancient legends, the dragon is the Ninety-Five. Moreover, the ancient emperors also called themselves dragons. So we became deaf people.

This is an ancient Chinese totem and legend, at that time it was said that the emperor was actually the descendant of the dragon, and until now, everyone is a descendant of the dragon in China.

The general of the Yellow Emperor was named Ying Long, and after the death of the Yellow Emperor, "breaking the dragon and flying into the sky", and so on. If we compare the type of archaeological culture with the documentary record that the Yellow Emperor defeated the Yan Emperor and Chiyou became the world, the Longshan culture characterized by black pottery has completely replaced the Yangshao culture characterized by red pottery, which undoubtedly coincides with this. The change of dynasty event.

Summary. Hello, the "dragon" totem is the product of national integration, and the evolution of the dragon totem is actually the embodiment of the historical evolution of the nation. The formation of the dragon totem has two meanings, one is the annexation and absorption of other animal totem groups in China by a powerful group with the snake totem clan as the core, there is no dragon in the world, why do people worship dragons so much.

Hello, the dragon "hail hall Tu Nai Shen Teng is the product of national integration, and the evolution of the dragon totem is actually the embodiment of the evolution of national history. The formation of the dragon totem has two meanings, one is the annexation and absorption of the powerful group with the snake totem clan as the core of the Chinese animal totem group, and the other is the integration and union of several clan groups with the snake totem worship as the main factor, reflecting the early formation and development of the Chinese nation. The convergence of different elements of the dragon pattern not only led to the increase in the number of ethnic groups and the expansion of the territory of China due to war and integration, but also showed the import and accumulation of advanced cultures of different totemic ethnic groups.

It not only embodies the spirit of openness and openness of the Chinese nation, but also reflects the high inclusiveness and speculative nature of the Chinese nation. Moreover, the Chinese cultural spirit represented by the dragon totem culture runs through the history of civilization for 5,000 years. It supports the peaceful and tolerant mentality and vigorous energy of the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation, and uses the spirit of the dragon to transform nature for the benefit of mankind.

This is because the dragon represents auspiciousness, strength and sacredness, and is a positive energy that Chinese reveal, so we also call ourselves the descendants of the dragon。The earliest appearance of the dragon as an emperor was during the reign of Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, when historians deliberately began to describe the Son of Heaven as a descendant of the dragon in order to add to the mystique and legitimacy of Liu Bang as the co-ruler of the world.

The dragon is a kind of mythical beast, which first appeared in primitive societies, but the worship of the dragon has not been gradually abandoned because of the current science, but has entered a higher symbol. After people entered the class society in ancient times, the concept of totem began to slowly disappear, but the worship of the dragon has always been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and the new conditions have also given it new meaning.

During the reign of Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the dragon had already begun to become a symbol of the emperor. This symbol must have been caused by later historians slowly giving people this concept, but in fact, it is also conceivable that Liu Bang was originally just a citizen of the market, and finally won the world and sat on the dragon chair, but after all, some people will be unconvinced, so Liu Bang naturally wants to find some way to stabilize his imperial power, so he compares himself to the chosen son and uses the dragon to symbolize himself, so that with the reverence for the dragon in people's hearts, he will slowly obey.

Liu Bang is the incarnation of a dragon, mainly according to one of the allusions. Legend has it that Liu Bang's mother fell asleep by the pond after being tired from doing farm work in the field, and dreamed of the gods in her dreams, when the thunder and lightning increased, and the dark clouds covered the sky, Liu Bang's father hurried to the field to pick up Mrs. Liu home, but from a distance it looked as if there was a golden coiling dragon coiled on the ground, and it didn't take long for Mrs. Liu to become pregnant, thus giving birth to Liu Bang. This history is naturally absurd, but it has to be said that for the more feudal and superstitious people at that time, this has a good corrective significance.

Since the dragon became the symbol of the emperor, the emperor's dragon robe will have a dragon sashimi on it, dragon boots on the feet, and the dragon chair was also born.

The dragon is a product of the spiritual world of the Chinese and is virtualized. It comes from legend. Legend has it that after the Yellow Emperor defeated Chiyou to unify the Central Plains, the Yellow Emperor used a new totem in order to appease the tribes that belonged to him, and this new totem was "Dragon, the dragon is a godlike object that opens the world, it helps Dayu to control the water and benefit millions of people."

In feudal society, emperors called themselves "true dragon sons", and the dragon symbolized the supremacy of imperial power.

In ancient China, the dragon was a symbol of supremacy. Therefore, the emperor is also called the son of the dragon. This is passed down in myths and legends. Dragons are very powerful.

Because the dragon has a very important status in China, it also has a particularly important symbolic meaning, representing"Power"，"Auspicious signs"and all kinds of positive energy. At the time of entering feudal society, the dragon was already a symbol of royalty.

There are too many dragon legends in our country, and many theories are different. The dragon has always had a very high status in our country, and it represents an image of our country.

In myths and legends, the dragon is an animal that lives in the sea and is the supreme leader of all animals.

In the earliest period, the dragon evolved from the flags of other tribes, and the earliest tribes in China would use an animal to represent their tribe, known as a totem.

Tribes began to compete for territory, and after one tribe annexed another, it would draw the annexed tribe totem on its totem to show its might.

So the last big tribe swallowed up all the tribes, and he evolved into a dragon image, and the earliest dragon formation was such a process.

There is also a legend that someone saw a magical light on the seaside, and out of the sea came a snake that resembled a long snake, but not like a snake, with four legs, horns, and a long snake that could fly.

After that, it began to be rumored among people that there is a god in the sea, a dragon king, who is responsible for our good fortune and good fortune.

Some people also say that the dragon is because of Fuxi, because Fuxi is a human head and a snake body, and like Nuwa, they created us humans, and they have the power to rule the world.

Dragons have had a deep influence in our ancient times, dragons are the representatives of the gods, and our ancient kings have always used dragons to represent their imperial power.

Therefore, the dragon is very important in our country, and the ancients only pursued a spirit of good luck and good luck for the wind and rain, the peace of the country and the people, and the creation of sustenance.

Because the dragon has too much influence in the hearts of the people, all emperors began to use dragons to represent their images, and dragons began to become emperors in our country.

Dragons were also divided into different types in ancient times, and there is an ancient saying that dragons give birth to nine sons, each of which is different. This means that dragons have different images and behaviors, and their representations are also different.

The influence of dragons in our country is too long, and the worship of dragon culture in our country has also become a culture in the bones of Chinese children.

The dragon represents the gods of heaven, the identity of the emperor, the auspiciousness, and the peace of the country, so this dragon is not just a simple animal image.
