A painted pottery with giant fish unearthed in Xiping, Gangu County, Gansu Province belongs to Majiayao culture. Its giant fish figure, face like a human face, beard under the chin, personalized modeling, some scholars believe that this is the prototype of Fuxi, the ancestor of mankind.
In fact, the so-called "Fuxi snake drive" in ancient legends probably refers to the "giant salamander drive" at first, which is later the "dragon drive", indicating that the prototype of the dragon came from the giant salamander.
