"Dragon" actually exists in a virtual form. It is said that it is four different images: antlers, snakes, horse faces, eagle claws and fish scales. It is precisely because of the lack of knowledge of ancient people that they can't explain the changes in nature, resulting in worship, fear and subjective assumptions. In order to consolidate his position, the ancient emperors took the image of "dragon" as their own, so as to fool people and make them believe that he was the spokesman of mysterious forces in nature. In this way, on the one hand, it is a superstitious subjective assumption, on the other hand, it is a sober objective promotion, and the "dragon" has evolved into the master of nature and the master of mankind.
In fact, the "dragon" in myths and legends is only the official in charge of water conservancy meteorology under the Jade Emperor. At best, he is a minister of water resources and director of meteorology, with limited technology. The Monkey King, who was in the sky, and Nezha, the child, were terrified out of their wits. No wonder later emperors felt that the image of "dragon" was not enough to represent them, and chose "Sun" as their image representative. In any case, it is the combination of illusory "idol" and actual power that pushes the image of "dragon" to the supreme realm.
With the development of modern society, the so-called "real dragon emperor" has gone far away from us. What is the symbolic significance of "Dragon Totem" to modern people? Does it represent the tradition of our nation? Let's analyze, the legendary "dragon", powerful and domineering, churns in the universe and scatters clouds and rains all over the world. Move, then the wind and cloud follow, thunderous; Be quiet, then lie in the waves and be calm. And our nation has always respected Confucianism, paying attention to gentleness, benevolence, courtesy, wisdom and faith; Pay attention to modesty, gentleness, kindness, respect, frugality and accommodation. This is quite different from the "dragon totem" symbolized by Wang Ba's Qi and the Wind of War, which can be said to be completely different.
