According to legend, before the Yellow Emperor unified the Central Plains, the "bear" was a totem. After Chiyou was defeated and the Central Plains was unified, the Yellow Emperor abandoned the original "bear" totem and used a new one, which was a combination of the head of the original "bear" totem and the body of a "snake" totem. "Joe (there is a bug on the left)" means "snake" and was connected with "bridge" in ancient times. The burial of the Yellow Emperor in Qiaoshan Mountain shows that the Yellow Emperor worships the totem of matriarchal clan. In fact, the totem of "Dragon" is the image combination of the parents' totems of the Yellow Emperor. The formation of the strange image of dragon reflects the development history of the Chinese nation and the process of national integration.
Later, the image of the "dragon" symbolizing the Chinese nation began to appear in various patterns and gradually formed characters. People can find the word "dragon" in ancient Oracle Bone Inscriptions unearthed in Shang Dynasty, and the pattern of "dragon" can also be found in ancient pottery fragments unearthed. Not long ago, archaeologists unearthed two pieces of dragon pottery at the ancient site of Chahai in Fuxin, Liaoning. One is a dragon, the other is a panlong, lifelike, and the scales of the dragon are clearly visible.
"Dragon" has become the totem of the ancestor of the Chinese nation, and the Chinese nation is associated with "dragon". Thus, around the "dragon", the legend of "born by feeling heaven" came into being, saying that Emperor Yan was born by the dragon in the sky, while Emperor Huang was born by the treasure possessed by the "Beidou" and Yao was born by the "red dragon". Since the ancestors of the Chinese nation are descendants of the "dragon" in the sky, the descendants of the Chinese nation are of course descendants of the dragon.

The formation process of the dragon is the process of national unity, which was basically completed when it was merged into Tang Yao, and the image of the dragon was determined. According to the chronicles of bamboo slips (bamboo slips unearthed in the tomb of King Wei Anli in the Eastern Jin Dynasty to escape from burning books and burying Confucianism by Qin Shihuang), Yao was born in Yiqishan (Shunping County, 40 kilometers southwest of Baoding City), and Yao was born in the battle field, now Tangxian County, southwest of Baoding City. There is a Du Qing seven kilometers east of Tangxian County, which is said to be Yaomu's residence. There is Yaomu Tomb in Wangdu County and Yao Di Temple in Beiguan.
When Huang Yun was born, he often covered Du Qing, and when he was an adult, the dragon often followed him ... The evil wind closed, and the red dragon was pregnant. Yao was born in (that is, Yiqishan) in November. Today, Yaomudong in Yiqi Mountain is Yao's birthplace. This shows that Chilong lived near Yiqi Mountain at that time, which deepened the flesh-and-blood ties between the dragon and the Chinese nation, and also shows that the descendants of the dragon have been recognized by the world in Yao.
