Dragon is one of the most representative traditional cultures of our Chinese nation, but many countries in Southeast Asia believe in it except Huaxia. Although everyone can talk about the story of dragons, no one has ever seen a real dragon. This makes us wonder: Does the dragon really exist?
Although we have never seen a real dragon, its image is deeply rooted in people's hearts. The dragon is also one of the 12 Zodiac animals in China, which shows that we in China attach great importance to the dragon. In the hearts of China people, dragons have a very important position. Why do people always believe that dragons are real, although they have never seen real dragons? In fact, this is also related to the ingenuity of nature.
There are always some wonders in some natural landscapes in our country. Just like the "living dragon" found in Hunan caves: 13 meters long, the villagers said it could "smoke" and the villagers were afraid to go near it. At first glance, experts say it has existed for at least hundreds of millions of years. So, is this dragon what our ancestors said? Can we really see the real dragon?
In fact, this so-called "dragon" is Longyan in a cave in Shimen Village, Linwu County, Hunan Province. These dragon stones lurk in the water, just like a hidden dragon surfaced. The dragon in people's hearts has this long body, shiny scales, long beard, bright eyes, sacred and majestic, and has magical power to call the wind and rain.
This kind of Longyan was discovered in Shimen Village, Linwu County, Hunan Province. It is golden yellow all over, just like the golden dragon with five claws in our dragon. It is about 13m long, 0.6m at the thinnest part and 0.8m at the thickest part ... The most amazing thing is that the rock surface is like scales, which reminds people of Long Lin. There is a "Longtan" on this rock, which is close to 100 square meter. It is surrounded by smoke all the year round at the mouth of the cave, just like a dragon walking on clouds.
The villagers are afraid to go near this cave, because there is no sunshine all the year round, it is very gloomy, and it is opaque, and there are falling rocks. Under the investigation and study of the team of geological experts in China, we finally know how this "dragon" was formed.
First of all, judging from the evolution of geological structure in Linwu County, the expert group speculated that this Longyan has existed for hundreds of millions of years. And because this cave is a low-lying underground karst cave, there is an underground river flowing through it. Later, because of the crustal movement, the cave below gradually emerged from the surface and appeared in front of people. After the accumulated erosion of underground rivers and flowing water, the cave collapsed and the mouth of the cave gradually became larger, finally forming what we see now. Having said that, I can't help but sigh that the power of nature is really great.
Whether it is a real dragon or not, for us in China, the dragon is a kind of belief and spiritual sustenance. Although western countries believe that dragons are the embodiment of evil. But since ancient times, we have believed in dragons, and ancient emperors were revered as the embodiment of dragons, wearing robes and sitting in dragon chairs. The dragon is the embodiment of justice of our Chinese sons and daughters, and we have always been proud of being the descendants of the dragon. So it is not so important whether dragons really exist, because every Chinese son and daughter has a dragon in his heart.
At the same time, we have to admire the magic of nature, which can present the dragon in our hearts to our eyes in its own way. Because of nature, we are fortunate to see the true face of the dragon, which satisfies all our imaginations of the dragon, and the prototype of the dragon must come from nature. While enjoying the beauty that nature has given us, we should also protect and fear nature.
