The legend of the dragon
In the ancient legends of China and other East Asian regions, the dragon is a magical thing, the length of all things. It often appears in ancient folk myths in China, and its image is very classic. But dragons are often recorded in stories and can't be found in reality, so whether they exist or not is still a mystery.
In China, the legend of dragons can be traced back to the Neolithic Age. After tens of thousands of years of history, the existence of the dragon has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and its image is considered auspicious. We can know from the history books that in ancient times, Tai Hao called itself the "Dragon Division Tribe". It is said that there are ten dragons in this tribe, namely the dragon, the hidden dragon, the dragon, the dragon, the earth dragon, the water dragon, the dragon, the red dragon, the white dragon, the black dragon and the yellow dragon.
There have been many incidents of separation and integration between these different ethnic groups. By the time of the Yellow Emperor, these different ethnic groups were integrated, with Xuanyuan's "Bear" as the leader, which was also one of the origins of "descendants of the dragon". Another origin is Longshan culture more than 4000 years ago. That is to say, in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, it is probably the bronze culture in the late Neolithic period. Because it was found in Longshan Town, Licheng, Shandong Province, it is called Longshan Culture.
The flying principle of dragons
The shape of the dragon: horns like deer, head like ox, mouth like crocodile, eyes like tortoise, ears like ox, scales like fish, whiskers like shrimp, belly like snake and feet like eagle, but it just has no wings. Whether dragons really exist, even with today's scientific development, is unknown, so if dragons really exist, how do they fly? There are several versions.
Use the cloud. In ancient books related to dragons, it is recorded that when dragonflies rise, there are always many clouds, dark clouds and heavy rains in the sky, so some people speculate that dragons can fly by using water-rich clouds to migrate, just like water does to fish.
With the help of external forces. There are many incidents of "dragon sucking water" in the news, and there are videos to prove it. Looking closely, we can see that the water on the ground spirals into the sky in the form of a column of water. Therefore, some people speculate that dragons create flight factors for themselves by strong suction.
Reach the glider standard through air resistance. This principle favors paragliding. When testing paragliders, people usually jump from a height and use the height difference to make paragliders enter a state without other external forces, and maybe dragons do the same. This statement is based on a gliding snake called "Golden Flower Snake". It has a wing membrane, which is such a unique body structure that it can slide in the air.
As a symbol of our country's rights and prestige, the dragon has its reasons.
First of all, it has the meaning of tolerance and pluralism. Driven by China's vast territory and large population, people have merged different creatures in the world to create an illusory species, which has the advantages of most creatures and will not suddenly merge all imaginations into a powerful and magnificent creature.
This is also the embodiment of China's "dragon" culture, such as national unity, cultural tolerance, recognition of creation and strong yearning.
Secondly, it has the universal concept of the unity of man and nature. China people pay attention to etiquette and hope to show their majesty in kindness. Dragon plays an overall role in the whole cycle of human seeking rain, dragon perception, dragon giving rain and human harmony. China people emphasize the concepts of mutual subjectivity, intercourse of Yin and Yang, tolerance of multiculturalism and so on.
Guided by the concept of the same destiny of mankind, the world has seen more and more harmonious and inclusive China as a big country, and also recognized the great country spirit conveyed by China through mutual understanding and help. We hope to show the country's demeanor incisively and vividly, but we also hope to keep it quiet and realize mutual promotion and common development with the concept of making friends and supporting each other.
