------------------------Dragon----------------- is from Chinese culture Symbol! is a miraculous animal in Chinese mythology that is good at change, can cause clouds and rain, and benefit all things. Legend has it that it can hide and appear, ascending to the sky in the spring breeze, and diving into the abyss in the autumn breeze. It can also stir up clouds and cause rain. It is the leader of all scale insects and the head of the four spirits (dragon, phoenix, unicorn, and turtle). It later became a symbol of imperial power. Emperors of all dynasties claimed to be dragons, and the utensils they used were also decorated with dragons. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" records that Xia Houqi, Lingshou, Jumang, etc. all "ride the rain dragon". There are also secretaries such as "Zhuan Xu rides a dragon to the four seas" and "Emperor Ku rides a dragon in spring and summer". The embroidered dragon pattern will bring auspiciousness. The dragon represents the supreme emperor who rules the world. The emperor's house is surrounded by dragon flags and tigers. The emperor has phoenix eyes and dragon eyes. He wears dragon robes, sleeps on a dragon bed, and sits in the dragon court. "The sun sets just before the fairy palms move, and the cigarette smoke floats next to the dragon." This is described by the great poet Wang Wei A famous saying about the emperor's morning court. When he is happy, the dragon's heart is overjoyed; when he gets angry, the dragon's face is furious, both are no small things. The emperor had a queen and concubines, and "three thousand beauties in the harem" who produced dragon seeds for him. Once he dies, he will be called Long Yu Bintian. And the one who inherits the throne is naturally none other than the dragon species. The descendants of dragons and grandsons are endless, and their talents are in the same line for eternity, tied to the immortality. Life-long system and hereditary system are the essence of feudal legal system, but looking at the history of the rise and fall of dynasties for more than two thousand years, life-long system and hereditary system are not without some troubles. The second Qin Dynasty killed him, which was an unlucky start. There is a Tang poem that says: "The smoke of bamboo and silk has wiped out the emperor's achievements, the Guanhe River is empty and the ancestors and dragons live, the pit ashes are not yet cold, Shandong is in chaos, Liu Xiang originally did not study." Qin Zuo's shortcomings were attributed to Qin Shihuang's burning of books and entrapment of Confucian scholars. This scholar's opinion may not necessarily be regarded as a definite conclusion. Liu Bang was outspoken, and his famous saying was: "The stallion conquers the world, and An uses poetry and writing!" After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the people who were demobilized from Chongqing used "I have resisted for eight years" as their mantra; after liberation, there was "The country is ours to conquer" ", tautology, the same origin, extremely ancient origin. The dragon is in China, spreading across time and space, and encompassing everything. The civil servants and generals under the emperor's sect, whose literary talents are outstanding, are called dragons leaping and phoenixes roaring; martial arrogance, which is extraordinary, are said to be dragons and tigers' steps; young and talented, they are dragons, colts and phoenix chicks. Marriage is a lifelong event for ordinary people, and they enjoy special treatment such as dragons and phoenixes, flowers and candles, which shows the emperor's grace. Dragon lantern dances and dragon boat races are of course embellishments of the prosperous times. The famous weapon in the sword is named Longquan. Horses are good materials and have the reputations of Dragon Horse, Dragon Wen, Dragon Matchmaker, and Dragon Sun. There are dragon cypress, acacia, and agave in the garden, lobsters at the banquet, longan among the fruits, and precious ambergris among the spices. There is also a cockroach-like dragon louse, which is a favorite delicacy of Cantonese people. Everything here is so beautiful. However, the list is limited to the "positive image" of dragons. There are also other dragons, such as the long dragon at the small market, and the tornado that makes people look dizzy. Because they may cause negative effects and adverse reactions, in order to take into account the social effects, we will not leave them here. whether. In the world of literature and art, the shadow of dragon is naturally indispensable. The genius of the grand composition and the beautiful heart and embroidered mouth is a master of carving dragons; if you wait and see, it is just a small skill, and a strong man will not be able to do it. The anecdotes, legends, fables, and myths about dragons are so wonderful and wonderful that setting up the Dragon Gate Formation will definitely be more than a Thousand and One Nights. Some are quite intriguing. The story of "Ye Gong loves dragons" is now well known. It is said that Ye Gong loved dragons, and the house was full of dragon paintings, dragon carvings, and dragon decorations. The dragon was flattered and became his confidant, so he descended from the sky and came to visit him. Unexpectedly, as soon as the dragon head appeared at the window, Ye Gong was so frightened that he ran away. Ye Gong is an ancient man, far away in the horizon, but close at hand. For example, things like democracy and freedom can be placed in a glass window as a political decoration, or hung by the mouth as a chat after tea and drinks. It is very interesting and can decorate civilization and elegance, but when it comes to real value It is inevitable that the goods will follow Ye Gong's footsteps and "lose their souls, and the five colors will have no owners." The description of the Dragon King in "Feng Shen Bang" is very unserious. Nezha made trouble in the sea. He not only caused chaos in the Crystal Palace of Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, but also beat the third prince of the Dragon King to death, causing his dragon tendons to twitch. He yelled "spare my life".
Nezha is a seven-year-old child, and of course he does not understand the "revolutionary" principle of "Marxism is complicated, but it boils down to one sentence: 'Rebellion is justified'"; and because he is not only the commander-in-chief of Dongtang Pass, Li Jing The young master is an authentic disciple of a high official, and he is the reincarnation of a disciple of Taiyi Zhenren in Jinguang Cave in Qianyuan Mountain, so he has a good background. "Journey to the West" is even more suspected of distorting the heroic image of the Dragon King. It turns out that in the Tang Dynasty, there was a fortune teller in Ximen Street, Chang'an, who was a divination strategist and gave divination lessons to fishermen he knew, so he could tell where to cast his net to catch fish. Just because of this trivial matter, Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, believed that it was harmful to the interests of the Shui Tribe. He held a grudge and took advantage of the Jade Emperor's order to rain. He abused his power for personal gain, cheated illegally, and set up a trap. He was ready to severely punish the fortune teller. He did not want to offend the heavens for this. According to the article, if you harm others, you will harm yourself. You will be executed at three quarters of the next day, and the officer who will be executed is Wei Zheng, the prime minister under the command of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Fortunately, Mr. Bao Gua was generous and repaid evil with kindness, and instructed the Dragon King to quickly plead with the Human King to save his life. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty protected him and generously agreed to help. He invited Wei Zheng to play chess and held him in front of the emperor to delay his execution. Unexpectedly, Wei Zheng was selfless, fell asleep on the table, and his soul left his body, but God cut off Ao Guang's old dragon head. This story is so miraculous that it greatly vilifies the Dragon King and beautifies Wei Zheng, which is very unethical. Wei Zheng is indeed a famous minister recognized by history books. He advocates "listening to both sides will lead to enlightenment, partial belief will lead to darkness", which is not unreasonable. He dares to "offend Yan Yanzheng's remonstrance" and has a strong bone. In order to express the intention of respecting the elderly, respecting the virtuous, and safeguarding the country and benefiting the people, you may wish to give verbal praise, but you must not know the importance of it, and try to "follow the example of the virtuous people before you" and learn from Wei Zheng. It should be noted that there are reverse scales under the dragon's throat. If you offend, the dragon will become murderous. It's better to learn some of the "dragon-slaying skills" mentioned by Zhuangzi in vain, just talk without practicing. Twenty years ago, some people acted rashly and advocated learning from Wei Zheng in newspapers, and some people compiled "Hai Rui Shang Shu" and "Hai Rui Dismissed from Office", which resulted in a major incident that shook the earth and caused ghosts and gods to cry. Human lives are at stake, so it is "very necessary" to sum up experience and draw lessons. "A Dream of Red Mansions" writes about a couplet in Qin Keqing's boudoir, which goes like this: "Knowledge of worldly affairs is knowledge, and understanding of human feelings is writing." Jia Baoyu didn't take it seriously. He was so unsophisticated and ignorant of current affairs. No wonder Jia Zheng believed that disobedience and unfilial piety would cause pain. More whipping. The dragons written in some legends and monsters are quite civilian-like. What exactly does a dragon look like? There is a delicate passage in "The Biography of Liu Yi": "There was a sudden loud noise, the sky and the earth cracked, the palace shook, and the clouds and smoke billowed. There was a red dragon more than a thousand feet long, with electric eyes and a bloody tongue, and a mane with red scales and a mane holding a golden lock. The jade pillar was held in a chain, thousands of thunders surrounded its body, and snow and hail fell all at once." He has a powerful spirit and is very domineering. In fact, this dragon has a violent temper, but also values ??human kindness, hates evil as much as hatred, and is easy to get close to. The dragon girl in "The Legend of Liu Yi" is charming, beautiful and affectionate. She was abandoned by her unlucky husband. She was miserable and ended up on the side of a shepherd's road. After many twists and turns, she finally married a great-grandfather. Liu Yi, a failed scholar, sent a letter to her parents' family. She believed that this mixed marriage between humans and dragons was God's will, and she sounded like an ordinary kind-hearted woman who resigned herself to fate, which was not the demeanor of a dragon king's daughter. Liu Yi married the Dragon Girl, ascended to the throne during the day, enjoyed luxury, and was better than the ministers. Moreover, his beauty lasted forever, and he became a god. It is difficult to escape from the dragon gate, but it is easy to drill through the dog hole. Entering the body by chance is the shortcut to the south. Throughout the ages, many arrogant figures and rocket officials have risen to the top in this way. Not long ago, Jiangxi had a famous deputy governor.
