Why is there "dragon" among the twelve zodiac signs? Why do all the other zodiac signs exist, but "dragon" disappears? Did our ancestors only make up the non-existent "dragon" among the twelve zodiac signs?
Some scientists speculate that there may be a creature in the atmosphere whose state is between solid and liquid. Some things we have no evidence to prove their existence, and we don’t know whether they are true or not, so today I will tell you some stories about the existence of dragons, just listen to them as after-dinner tea stories.
A dragon photographed in the Tibetan Himalayas
A passenger took a picture of a Chinese dragon while flying over the Tibetan Himalayas. A line full of scales can be clearly seen. The curve, as to whether it is a dragon or a coincidence of cloud formation, is unknown.
Many ancient peoples will worship animals as totems, especially the ancient orthodox Chinese people. If there is no such thing, why would the ancestors create something that does not exist to worship?
A real dragon specimen collected by Zuiryuji Temple in Japan
A rare dragon specimen is collected at Zuiryuji Temple in Osaka. According to legend, it was exported from China to Japan during the shogunate era in the 11th year of Meiji. According to the Chinese farmer who discovered the dragon, he saw the dying dragon when he was passing by the river. He immediately knocked it unconscious with a wooden stick and put it in a cloth bag. About 370 years ago, a Japanese businessman obtained it from a Chinese port and sold it to collector Bandai Fujibei. Bandai Fujibei loved it so much that he donated the dragon to Japan in September of the second year of Tenwa during his lifetime. Zuiryuji Temple in Naniwa District, Osaka City.
Regardless of whether the dragon really exists, in feudal society, the dragon became a symbol of imperial power, and emperors of all dynasties regarded themselves as real dragons and emperors. In order to further promote that the "dragon" and the imperial power are one, before the birth of ancient emperors, they often used visions from the sky to describe the surrounding environment. The "Old Book of Tang" records that when Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was born, "there were two dragons playing outside the palace gate and left in three days." Is this a bit exaggerated? However, people at that time had a strong affinity for "dragons". Worship and awe, and therefore believe that this person is the true dragon emperor, is actually an indirect way to consolidate the imperial power.

I graduated from high school in 1998. During the summer vacation, I went to Inner Mongolia with a few friends. We stayed in a herdsman’s house for a week, in a very primitive prairie. It rained heavily one day. Those who know about it may know that if it rains on the grassland, the clouds are very low, and it feels like thunder is hitting our heads. Five other classmates and I stood outside in the rain to experience it. This is what we Suddenly dark clouds rolled in the sky in the west and thunder was loud, so everyone looked over there. Suddenly, in the rolling clouds, we vaguely saw the shape of an animal's paw. It was gray-black, but reflective. The six of us were stunned! Because it was too dark at the time, I couldn’t see its whole body, but I was sure it was a huge animal in the sky! It’s been so many years and I still can’t forget it! We all saw it. ---Warcraft Sister 05-02-1601:57
Dragon Elephant in the Sky
My family is from Hunan and lives by the Longyuan River. Longyuanjiang is a straight river in my hometown. The wide river is not well-known. When there was a flood last summer, I was walking along the river alone. At that time, the floodwaters were almost reaching the embankment. I suddenly heard a splashing sound in the water and turned around. Look, I saw the originally calm water suddenly rolling, as if the water was boiling. I didn't pay attention at first. The embankment was very wide and strong. Although the water level was high, there was no danger, so I was not afraid at all. I was just curious about what happened to the water. Will roll over for no reason. I stood on the bank and looked into the river.
At this time, something suddenly emerged from the water, and then sank quickly. I was surprised at the time, but I didn't realize what it was. I suspected that it was some kind of furniture washed down from the upper reaches, so I picked up a piece of earth and threw it over to see if it was alive. .
Unexpectedly, after I threw the Tuokela, the river rolled more violently. There was a crash and a very long thing emerged from the water. I remember clearly that the thing was red and covered in water. Wearing scales, I could clearly see its head and tail, which were about ten or twenty meters long. Its body was very thick. It felt as thick as two or three telephone poles. It turned its head and glanced at me. I was shocked. , that is exactly a dragon! It's exactly the same as what I saw in the painting in the book. The pair of dragon horns are like two big tree forks, and the tail is like a big fish. I just didn't see its claws, they couldn't be seen in the water
It glanced at me and then dived to the bottom of the water. I was very scared and ran down the embankment quickly. After returning home, I told many people about this, but no one believed it. Only the old people in the village said that some people had seen dragons before, so that's why it was called Long Yuanjiang. It's a pity that I didn't bring a camera to take a picture of that, but even if I did, it would definitely be too late if I wasn't prepared.
Seeing that everyone is discussing dragons, I also wrote down what I saw with my own eyes. Dragons really do exist, and I have seen them. It had horns. It couldn't be a python. It was bigger than a crocodile and very long. But I didn't see it fly. Maybe dragons live in water. ----Published by Zhenxinwuji at 02-1500:33
