Earth Chapter 75: Winning Lin's Writing
"Also at the Jiaodun site more than 6,000 years ago, a 4.4-meter-long pebble pendulum dragon was cleaned up. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he and the idleman above had imagined the same dragon shape, or were the two dragons placed by the same person?"
"There is also a white jade bracelet-shaped jade dragon of the Liangzhu culture 5,000 years ago, and a C-shaped jade dragon of the Hongshan culture in the same time period. ”
"Ancient books say that Emperor Shun and the Xia Dynasty had the activity of raising dragons, and the dragon was the clan name. ”
"During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the dragon culture was more widely disseminated, and the dragon changed from the original dragon image in the totem era to the real dragon pattern. During the Shang Dynasty, the dragon pattern had officially become the coat of arms and symbol of power of the Son of Heaven. In addition to carving dragon patterns on bronze objects, the rulers of the Shang and Zhou dynasties also painted dragon patterns on flags and clothes as a status symbol. ”
"But in the Qin and Han dynasties, it was recorded in various ancient books: 'In the past, Qin Miaogong took a dragon boat to manage the world. ''In the past, Qin Wengong went out hunting and won the black dragon. "Wait, it's all about dragons before the Qin and Han dynasties, and the dragons that had been successfully raised in the Xia Dynasty couldn't be seen at that time, what was the situation?!Could it be that the heavens and the earth changed at that time?"
"For the next 2,000 years, although there have been rumors of dragons, there is no real evidence left. ”
It was not until the beginning of August 1934 that the Shengjing Times reported on July 28 that a dragon descended from the sky of Yingkou, overturned three small boats, swept up the factory house, killed nine people, and overturned the train. ”
According to the investigators at the time, at the beginning of July 1934, many people in Yingkou said that a living dragon was found in the upper reaches of Tianzhuang Terrace, and people used reed mats to build a pergola for it, carry water for it, and the temple monks did more than one for it every day, and it disappeared after several days of heavy rain. Those who saw it said that it was the same as the dragon in the painting, with four claws and scales, two long whiskers on its mouth, large protruding eyes, and a length of about 10 meters. ”
"On August 8, in the reeds 10 kilometers from the mouth of the sea, a corpse was found with the characteristics of the legendary dragon, with a fishy smell wafting far away, with two horns and antler-like horns, which is rare in the animal kingdom, with scales filled with two large baskets, and the sound before death was like the bark of a cow. ”
"It was reported at the time...... The dragon body is towering, the head is born on the left and right of three armor, the spine is more than three inches wide, attached to the ribs on both sides of the backbone, each is about five or six inches long, the tail is a vertical plate-shaped white bone tail, the whole is a total of 28 sections, each section is about more than a foot, the whole is more than three zhang, the original dragon place, there is a soil pit that is two zhang long and five zhang long that is dug by the claw, the pit clearly exists along the paw print, there are still tendons in the keel, and the skin and flesh are no longer visible. At the same time, it is accompanied by photos, illustrated and illustrated. ”
"At that time, the puppet Yingkou Sixth Police Station transported the keel to an open space near the West Sea Pier and displayed it for several days. After that, the skeleton was kept in a normal school in Yingkou as a specimen, and later due to the social chaos during the war, all the whereabouts of the keel were unknown. Although several people later claimed to have keels, none of them were confirmed to be true after identification. ”
The same incident happened 10 years later, on a river beach in the northeast of Yingkou, more than 600 kilometers away, hundreds of people witnessed a black dragon lying on the beach with weak breath. People also built pergolas and carried water for it. Similarly, the dragon disappeared after a night of heavy rain. ”
"You can't trust all the information you find on the Internet, it's probably made up. Especially when it comes to newspaper reports, who knows if it's a story made up by the editor himself, and then casually posted a fake photo on it, I've seen a lot of this kind of thing. Wu Yaohua said.
"You're right, but since we all believe that dragons are real, if we really look for them in the future, shouldn't we pay special attention to these places? Wu Yaoxia said.
"That's right. In fact, the question of the authenticity of dragons has always been said: 'If dragons don't exist, then why is there only one illusory dragon in the zodiac? The other eleven animals are very common.' Since the dragon is illusory, there are many kinds of animals that can be illusory, why only one illusory?'" Yang Xingchen said.
"Wu Yaoxia just said that it was difficult to see the traces of dragons in the Qin and Han dynasties, which reminded me of the Confucian sage's 'Winning Lin's pen', and Li Shixian also wrote in his poem: 'Xi Shengru stands. Absolutely in the book. Zhu Yan said thoughtfully.
"I know the allusion to 'Hunting in the West'! In 481 B.C., Lu Aigong led his ministers on a hunting expedition in the southern part of the wilderness, and while blasting away wild beasts, he suddenly disturbed a strange beast. This strange beast fled in a hurry after being disturbed, Lu Aigong and his ministers had never seen such a strange beast, and they were very curious, so they desperately chased after it. The son of one of the ministers, a fast horse, chased after the beast and shot an arrow at it, and the beast was hit by the arrow and continued to run westward. Wu Yaoxia said slowly.
After a long distance of chasing, in the end, the beast couldn't run because of the injury, and was surrounded and captured by a group of people and horses who chased up, and found that it was a female beast that had never been seen before, and when Lu Aigong and others arrived, everyone gathered around to discuss, and they couldn't be sure what the name of this beast was. Later, a master was invited to appraise it. He was very sad when he saw the injured and frightened appearance of the unicorn, and said: Qilin, the male is called the unicorn, and the female is called the unicorn. This is Lin Ye, the world's first benevolent beast, people gather in kind, things in groups, benevolent people love all life in the world, compassion is indescribable, so it is recommended that Lu Aigong take the unicorn back to heal. I don't want the unicorn to die soon if he doesn't eat or drink because of excessive fright. Legend has it that Sage Confucius also dropped out of writing because of this incident, writing "Spring and Autumn". ”
"You read so much information after watching it for a while last night?" Yang Xingchen expressed strong doubts about what Wu Yaoxia said before.
"I ...... I can see things very quickly at a glance!" Wu Yaoxia said with a little weakness.
Yang Xingchen looked at Wu Yaohua and wanted to see what he thought.
Wu Yaohua nodded and said, "His memory is really good, you can remember it all after reading it once." ”
"Well, this kid is really a genius!" Yang Xingchen thought to himself, giving Wu Yaoxia a thumbs up.
"You see, both the unicorn and the dragon disappeared in the Spring and Autumn Period. Before, Xiao Xia said, is there a change in heaven and earth?, this makes me think of it......" Zhu Yan pointed to the huge machinery in the center of the Gathering Spirit Pagoda and said seriously.
"Oh, do you mean that the Secret Realm was built in that era or before?" Yang Xingchen asked.
"That's right! If that's the case, it makes sense!" Wu Yaoxia said excitedly: "Before the Spring and Autumn Period, our earth should have been full of spiritual energy, dragons, unicorns, white tigers, vermilion birds, Xuanwu, these ancient divine beasts are very common. They have an aura of their own, which is a little stronger than ordinary beasts, and it is easy to survive. ”
