There are many legends of dragons, but no one has ever seen the entity, why are there unseen dragons

I've always thought dragons were real ancient creatures! None of us have seen it now, but it only means that dragons are extinct or very few in number and exist in very secret places! It can't be said directly that dragons are imaginary!

Why do I think so? There are several reasons for this:

1. There are many, many records of dragons in ancient China, and more importantly, the records of dragons in ancient China are basically all from some local chronicles or history books, not from some wild histories**!

2. In many records about dragons in ancient China, dragons appear as falling, injured or even dead! You must know that the dragon is the totem of the Chinese. If dragons were purely imaginary, then it would be impossible for people to scandalize their totems!

Only if the dragon is real and has been seen, people will eliminate the sense of sacredness and make a real record! For example, can you find records in historical information about the phoenix falling and dying? Not at all!

Because it is an imaginary symbol that represents something beautiful, it will not be vulgarized!

3. In the "Bamboo Book Chronicle", it is recorded that Kong Jia will raise dragons, and it is also recorded in "Zuo Chuan" that Emperor Shun's subordinate Dong Father will raise dragons, and he also raised one to death! In addition, it has also been clearly recorded in historical documents that "dragons are aquarists, and they smell fishy" and so on! This also fully shows that the dragon may have been an aquatic creature in ancient times!

Fourth, not only in China, but all countries in the world basically have the legend of the dragon creature, but there are some differences in the image, but the overall is basically the same! This also shows that dragons are definitely not imaginary!

Let me give you an analogy here:If the tongue and parrot became extinct in the pre-Qin period, we only see through the records of the classics that the ancestors said that there was a kind of talking bird. Do you think that the ancestors are talking nonsense!

Even if we find fossilized skeletons of parrots, can we prove that parrots can talk through fossils?

That's my opinion.

Probably because dragons are ancient beasts, and everyone also believes that dragons can protect themselves because dragons are powerful.

Mainly because the dragon has always been the totem of the Chinese nation, it was chosen into the zodiac.

The dragon actually exists in the zodiac, it is the python, but due to the different ways of portraying people in different periods, the image of the dragon is becoming more and more "outrageous", and finally we can't find its prototype in reality.

Because dragons are legendary creatures.

Dragons are mythical creatures in ancient Chinese legends. The dragon is one of the most representative traditional cultures of the Han nationality, and other Asian countries and ethnic groups have also been influenced by the Chinese dragon culture.

Legend has it that it can be visible and hidden, small and huge, short and long. The spring equinox ascends to the sky, the autumn equinox dives into the abyss, and these images of dragons, which have been developed in the late period, are more complex than the original dragons.

Cultural Influences:

In China, dragon culture and dragon legends contain the cosmology of the unity of heaven and man that Chinese value; the appeal of the concept of benevolence and love; the development concept of yin and yang; An inclusive and multicultural outlook.

Chinese dragon culture is rich in connotation, and from the perspective of nature and connotation, dragon culture can be divided into three major types: religious dragon, political dragon and artistic dragon. Religious dragons are worshipped as sacred objects or gods, and dragons are regarded as gods or protectors of rain.

The political dragon is the ruling class taking advantage of the general worship of the dragon to say that the emperor is the embodiment of the dragon god, which is sacrosanct and inviolable, in order to maintain the rule.

3 In all the zodiac signs, except for the dragon, although every animal is real, I personally believe that the dragon has never existed.

The ancient sexagenary branches, as well as the 12 zodiac signs, are very complex in their origins and applications. At the same time, it is often associated with yin and yang gossip and Qimen Dunjia.

Zodiac signs and sexagenary branches).

The earthly branch and its corresponding phase are a temporal concept. This concept of time represents a day, a year, and a lifetime.

When it represents a day, it is from the early hours of the first night to the early hours of the second night. When it represents the year, it is from spring to winter. When it represents a person's life, it is from birth to death.

The 12 zodiac signs and the 12 earthly branches represent the life of a person, so they extend from here to people representing different social classes. In other words, it represents the origin of a person. The point of union lies in the birth of a person and his future role in society.

You were born in the Child, so your zodiac sign is a Mouse.

In terms of the concept of time, the concept of time represented by the dragon is also the "best time period" of the day. Dawn is the time of day when the sun has just risen. The sun rose and shone on the earth, and all things sprouted. This scene is very similar to the king's bounty.

So, since the animal zodiac represents all kinds of people in society and represents the emperor, of course there should be one, and the dragon is more suitable in all aspects. Therefore, the dragon is included in the zodiac signs.

The zodiac dragon is a totem.

In primitive societies, each tribe had its own totem to represent the symbol of its own tribe. The totems of each tribe are different and are due to many reasons such as culture, legend, environment, etc. Later, with the development of society, the tribes were constantly unified, and then formed our today's Chinese civilization, and many tribes disappeared.

When some tribes unite with other tribes, their totems will also change, and the totems of other tribes will be added. And dragons are the result of the fusion of many tribes. The image of the traditional dragon in China is "horns like a deer, a head like a camel, eyes like a rabbit, a neck like a snake, a belly like a mirage, scales like a fish, claws like an eagle, palms like a tiger, and ears like a cow."

It can be said that this is also a big basis. Moreover, this totem is conducive to the unity of the newly formed regime.

The image of a dragon

From the current archaeological point of view, archaeological scientists have not found any fossils of species that match the description of dragons today, so the dragon creature still exists only in mythology.

However, as the totem of Chinese civilization, the image of the dragon has appeared in China as early as about 8200-7400 years ago, and at the beginning of the 20th century, when China excavated a large number of sites, the Neolithic culture was found in Xinglongwa Village, Xinglongwa Town, Inner Mongolia, which is called "Xinglongwa culture" in archaeology.

In the Xinglongwa culture, archaeologists have found the earliest dragon-shaped pendulum sculpture, which is about one meter long and about 2 meters wide, with its head open and mouth bent and arched.

The dragons in the zodiac are indeed not found in real life, at least for now. Nowadays, even if we have seen dragons, they have made them up.

However, there is one problem that has always existed.

If there really are no dragons in the world, why are there so many legends about dragons?

And more importantly, the Chinese nation regards the dragon as its totem. The people worship the dragon and regard it as the most noble species in the world.

We all know that in China's feudal society, the richest person was the emperor, and the emperor said that he was the true dragon son, and they were all dragons. I have to say that the status of dragons in the eyes of the world is really incomparable to any species. Even we all-powerful people worship it.

For us, the dragon is a kind of legend, a kind of god, a kind of unattainable existence. Since ancient times, dragons have been passed down from generation to generation among the people. Perhaps it is precisely because of his mystery that his greatness is revealed.

So, how did dragons come about, and did there really ever be a dragon in this world?

Everyone knows that there have been dinosaurs in this world.

However, now we have not seen dinosaurs. Because dinosaurs could not adapt to changes in the natural environment in the process of crustal movement.

So, they became extinct. The dinosaurs we see are all restored from fossils.

If we speculate on the evolution of dinosaurs from existence to non-existence. I believe that dragons appeared in the era before dinosaurs.

Otherwise, how should we explain today's legends about dragons?

It's just that dragons have existed for a long time, and people at that time may not have evolved so perfectly. Maybe the people at that time were not the people we are now.

In a sense, they are not as high as dragons. Therefore, the people at that time were full of respect for the dragon. However, in the process of continuous evolution, people became more and more advanced and intelligent.

Dragons can't adapt to this change, so they're eliminated by nature.

So, for the things of that era, especially the life of the dragon, the people simply did not have any ability to leave a record.

Therefore, it had to be passed on by word of mouth, and it has been passed on and passed on to this day.

Again, although there are no dragons now, it does not mean that there were no dragons in the past. Perhaps, the dragons that actually existed were not the dragons we see now.

However, it cannot be denied that dragons have existed, and I believe that dragons must have survived in this world. Otherwise, He wouldn't have had such a profound impact on our lives.

It's just that it has gradually withdrawn from the stage of history in evolution, just as many species are now extinct.

Personally, I think that maybe dragons really existed, because as the saying goes, there are all kinds of wonders in the world, and there is no guarantee that dragons are absolutely fictional.

I don't think dragons ever existed, some people say that the prototype of the dragon is a snake, and some people say that the dragon is a symbolic totem formed by the totems of various tribes.

I don't think the so-called dragon exists, we don't have any actual evidence of the dragon's existence, it's just an imaginary creature.
