According to Ci Yuan, "Ying Long" is a thousand-year-old dragon with wings, and the 500-year-old one is called Ceratosaurus. Dragons are extraordinary things and have a long life. Ying Long is the most expensive dragon (of course, some people think that Ying Long can refer to the ancient clan and tribe and the mysterious ancient country-Ying Long family and Yingguo). In Tianwen, Qu Yuan, a great poet in China, expressed his incomprehension about how dragons helped Dayu control water and how to draw a river on the ground with their tails to lead floods into the sea.
origin
Ying Long first appeared before the Yellow Emperor and was recorded in Shan Hai Jing and Historical Records. A war broke out between the tribes in the Yellow River valley headed by the Yellow Emperor and the tribes in the Yangtze River valley headed by Chiyou, and both sides used all kinds of magical animals to help. Ying Long on the Yellow Emperor's side is good at "livestock water", and Chiyou is also good at giving orders. His skill is better than that of Ying Long, and the heavy rain drifted to the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor was weak, so he asked the goddess Chiyou to help stop the heavy rain and annihilate the Chiyou tribe in one fell swoop. Ying Long made great contributions to the neutrality in the war, killing Chiyou and Kuafu. Because the war consumed too much energy, Ying Long, who could have been blessed by heaven, could not return to heaven, so he had to live in the south (so there was much more rain in the south than in the north).

In the northeast corner of the wilderness, there is a mountain called fierce plough hill. Ying Long was in the Antarctic (1), Chiyou and Kuafu were killed (2), so it was impossible to go back, so it was a drought (3).
Drought is like Ying Long, but it rains heavily.
① Ying Long: the legendary pterosaur. (2) Chiyou: the legendary leader of the Jiuli nationality in the East, who uses gold as a weapon and can call the wind and rain. ③ Quantity: Repeated frequently.
In the wild, there is a mountain named Chengdu, which carries the sky. Some people named two yellow snakes Kuafu. After birth, faith was born, and faith was born for Kuafu. Kuafu has more than he can chew, trying to catch up with Japanese scenery (1) and catch up with Yugu (2). You will drink the water from the river, but it is not enough. You will go to osawa, but you will die here before you arrive. Ying Long killed Chiyou and Kuafu, but he went to the south, so it was rainy in the south.
1 scene: the original word of "shadow". Rule number two: arrive, and then. (3) Kill Kuafu again: First, it is said that Kuafu died after chasing the sun, and then Kuafu was killed by Ying Long. This is the difference between myth and legend.

According to Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio, "dragon five has been a Ceratosaurus for a hundred years, and Ying Long for a thousand years", Ying Long is the essence of the dragon, so he has wings. According to legend, Ying Long was the dragon of the ancient Yellow Emperor. It was ordered by the Yellow Emperor to crusade against Chiyou and kill Chiyou to become a hero. In Yu's flood control, the dragon swept the floor with its tail and diverted the flood. This dragon is also called Huanglong, and Huanglong is it, so it is the hero of Yu. Ying Long is characterized by wings, prickly scales, long head, small nose, eyes and ears, big eyes, high eyebrow arch, sharp teeth, protruding forehead, thin neck, long tail tip and strong limbs, just like a Chinese alligator with wings. The image of Ying Long often appears in jade carvings, stone carvings, silk paintings and lacquerware in the Han Dynasty during the Warring States Period.

One: The story of Ying Long and the slave girl is adapted from the background of the computer game Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2 in 2005. In order to avoid more misunderstanding, I hereby annotate.
Ying Long and Nu Wa, one god is water and the other is fire. Originally, they were mutually exclusive and could not get close to each other. However, as a result of fate, the daughter of Fire fell in love with Ying Long in the water. In the absence of face-to-face meeting, the daughter-in-law can only come to the Nak tree in Ying Long every day to comfort Ying Long locked in the clouds with the most beautiful songs in heaven.
Ying Long gradually fell in love with a woman with a beautiful voice, but she had never seen her face.
In a holy war, Ying Long was released from the clouds by the Yellow Emperor. Huangdi and Chiyou beat Zhuolu. At that time, Chiyou got the help of Fengbo Rain Master, and the ghosts and gods were unpredictable. However, the Yellow Emperor got help from the gods, such as Li Mu, Nu Wa of Ying Long and Youxi. So that the Yellow Emperor finally won the final victory.
When Jihad defeated Chiyou, the gods cheered. However, when the Yellow Emperor destroyed Chiyou's forces, he also lost his loyalty to the emperor and his beloved Feng Xi. However, General Ying Long and his adopted daughter, Nuwa, were also contaminated with the filth and turbidity of the world and could never return to heaven. ...
I finally got this chance to meet Ying Long's daughter-in-law. After the war, she hid aside and secretly visited in the distance. Only then did she know that the person she secretly loves is so elegant, but there is a melancholy in her brow, which makes her feel distressed and deepens her love for dragons.
However, when he learned that Ying Long, like himself, could not return to heaven because of the polluted air on earth, he secretly tried to transfer all the polluted air in Ying Long to himself. For this reason, Nu Wa also paid the price. Because of the loss of pride, I was dominated by evil spirits and brought disaster to the world. The four seasons are out of balance, the world is in great drought, and the people are miserable.
Back to heaven, Ying Long, who didn't know Nu Wa's intention to sacrifice, thought it was because of God's forgiveness that he could return to heaven again. I thought the woman I deeply loved was a paper fairy who helped him constantly during the jihad, so I turned my love to the paper fairy and felt sorry for her. Later, because the people complained and accused the gods of persuading Cambodia, the Yellow Emperor had to order Ying Long to crusade against Nuwa, because only the water of Ying Long could contain the fire of Nuwa.
These two men fought for the Dead Sea. At the end of the war, Nu Wa regained her sanity. When she looked up, the man standing in front of her was Ying Long, the man she missed and loved most. Nu Wa remembered that she had to be close to Ying Long often. Because of the evil spirits of Ying Long and the dirty air, she bowed her head, not wanting Ying Long to see her ugly appearance. Only when I saw the desolate land under my feet did Nu Wa know why Ying Long was standing here. I also know that what I did after losing my mind was such an unforgivable mistake. Nu Wa smiled. Facing him, she has no intention of fighting again. She laid down her arms and opened her arms, waiting for Ying Long to give her the final fatal blow.
Ying Long, who didn't know why Nu Wa had changed so much, raised his knife and shot Nu Wa in the chest in order to complete the task entrusted to him by the gods. ...
"Come on, it's happy for me to die in your hands ..." Nu Wa smiled frankly. Gentle eyes and gentle voice made Ying Long suddenly wake up. It turned out that the ugly Nu Wa turned out to be the woman he had been looking for and deeply loved, the owner of that beautiful song. ...
Unfortunately, it was too late. The broadsword went straight into Nuwa's chest, and blood flowed out of Nuwa's body. The woman who was stabbed has no strength to continue flying in the sky, and her body sinks straight to the Yellow Sea. Looking at Ying Long, a dying woman, who was sad and regretful, hoped to dissolve Ying Long's sadness and regret. When they met again, she sang this song. ...
Second: Help Dayu control water.
Living in the south, Ying Long does nothing all day. Things are changing, the stars are changing. In a blink of an eye, it was the Dayu era, and the flood raged. Dayu shouldered the heavy responsibility of saving lives, and Ying Long came to help. Wang Yi of the Han Dynasty and Guo Pu of the Jin Dynasty also echoed this myth, emphasizing that Ying Long had wings. Wings are very important for dragons, because with wings, it is possible to fly, which leads to the birth of the image of dragons. The heroes described by Huangdi and Yu have great power and high status, but the use of wings has not been brought into play.

However, Wang Jia of the Jin Dynasty said in his Notes on Collecting Wind that when Dayu was in charge of water conservancy, there was a "yellow dragon following behind", which was slightly different from the aforementioned Ying Long. According to the Records of Wushan County, it is said that when Dayu led the flood to Wushan, Yilong dug the wrong waterway and killed it by mistake. Even if the average dragon has the power to divide water, it will die in Jiuquan. Whether Ying Long or Huanglong, it is said that the high point is the right-hand man of the tribal leader, and the low point is the ordinary soldier. There is not much divinity in the world. Except for Ying Long, the dragon images such as Candle dragon, Goulong and Solanum nigrum failed to develop in later generations.
Of course, Huanglong can also refer to Dayu. According to Shan Hai Jing, Yu's father, Kun, stole the "rest land" of the Emperor of Heaven to bury the flood, and was finally killed in the suburb of Yushan. His body did not rot three years after his death. The Emperor of Heaven sent immortals to dissect the gun body with martial arts, and as a result, a Huanglong and Dayu were born. This is the embryonic form of the story of the dragon becoming a human being, and later generations often compare people to dragons. For example, Confucius praised Laozi as a dragon.

Historical speculation
This is explained in the column "Exploration and Discovery" broadcast by CCTV. Ying Long was a general under the Yellow Emperor. In the war with Chiyou, Ying Long artificially created floods (damming the upper reaches of the river, storing a certain amount of water, and then digging the dam) and washed away Chiyou's barracks, thus winning the war. And the battlefield of this war is in Zhuoxian.
