In tombs, the jade of snakes and the murals in tombs are also more common. In the relevant tombs, in addition to the earliest snake pattern, it is used for the sacrificial jade, the earliest snake-shaped jade is the C-shaped jade dragon ornament unearthed from the Hongshan cultural site, its whole body is dark green, the shape is twisted into the "C" shape, the head has a fin-like hook, but there is no four-legged, and the dragon-related ornaments in the jade afterwards are also mostly not four-legged, but there are horns, until the Warring States period did there appear the "S" type dragon with teeth and claws, and the mural is related to the snake, the most famous is Fuxi Nuwa. The brick of "three people hugging the image" unearthed from the Han tomb is a picture of two snakes crossing their tails. The three people on the picture are: the Suiren clan in the middle, the one holding the "rule" on the left is the Nuwa clan, and the one holding the "moment" on the right is the Fuxi clan, among which the two Nuwa Fuxi are the heads of the human snake body, and the two snake tails are intersecting in a spiral shape. In the T-shaped silk painting of Mawangdui No. 1 Tomb, there is a human head and snake body at the top, and the two dragons intersect at the middle and bottom, which is majestic and rugged.

Some people also say that the snake is the dragon, the dragon is the snake, because so far, the dragon is a legend, modern people speculate on the source of the dragon, according to some information, the snake may be the earliest human totem worship, the snake, Jiao imagined as a dragon, and the snake has the ability to perceive the water table, so often in the rainstorm in the lightning and thunder of the clouds said to see the dancing dragon, which may also have a certain relationship with the special ability of the snake.

The assertion that the serpent is the dragon has long been thought to have been put forward by scholars. "The so-called dragon is just a kind of serpent", and another scholar made the same assertion: "The serpent is deified and turned into a totem, and it is a dragon." ”

Since the Yellow Emperor, the dragon has become one of the symbols of the emperor, "Historical Records of the Five Emperors" contained in the "Yellow Emperor, the son of Shaodian, surnamed Gongsun, called Xuanyuan." Born as a god, weak and able to speak, young and neat, long and sensitive, mature and intelligent. In the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the explanation of the Xuanyuan Kingdom is as follows: "When the Xuanyuan Kingdom is in this poor mountain, its immortal is 800 years old. In the north of the women's country. The human face is a snake body, and the tail is handed over to the head. There is also such an explanation in the "Historical Records of Heavenly Officials": "(Yellow Emperor) has a snake body, a tail and a yellow dragon body." This illustrates the unity of the serpent and the dragon.

In ancient and even modern peoples, snakes and dragons can be mutualized. "Yi Zhi Cixia" said: "The inchworm is bent in order to seek faith." The sting of the dragon and snake to survive also. In the Hanshu Gaozu Benji, the story of Liu Bang's beheading of the white snake is more famous, and earlier, in the description of Liu Bang's voice, Sima Qian used the dragon as a symbol of his extraordinary life. And when the mother of the White Snake called him the Red Emperor and killed the White Emperor, the White Snake also existed as an extraordinary authority. Perhaps at that time, the serpent had gradually lost its supremacy of antiquity, but in this untrustworthy mythology, the connection between the serpent and the dragon and authority is faintly revealed.

The Ba people are the descendants of the ancient Diqiang tribe Fuxi and the Yellow Emperor, and they are also the descendants of the snake. "Shuowen Jie Zi" says: "Ba, worm also, or food like it (snake)." "The Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Southern Classic of the Sea" contains: "The snake eats elephants, and its bones come out at the age of three. "The snake that can swallow an elephant can be seen to be very large." The oracle bone inscription of the word "Shu" is also snake-shaped. According to Mr. Xu Liang's research; The meaning of the word "Shu" is "the head of the snake body", which means the place where the snake totem clan swells.

Therefore, in ancient times, snakes had quite mysterious powers, and I don't know if there were really so many hybrid animals on the earth in ancient times.

It is also possible that these things were all made by the ancients. But no matter what, since Meng Zhu said that there is a gorgony in the Panlong Cave, it must be true, and even next to the Yaowang Temple, there is a stone statue with a snake face and a snake body.

At that time, the earth was for human beings, just like the universe is now for human beings, everything is unknown, and the ancient human beings' awareness of the earth's creatures is quite small, otherwise why would Fuxi use one life to two, two to three, three to explain day and night and all things on the earth.

Aren't we now in the YY universe, so it seems that these things are very reasonable.

I stood up and said, "Gorgon, Nuwa is a human-headed snake body, do you know what the hell is the gorgons in this dragon cave?" ”

Meng Zhu thought for a while and said, "This...... The old man once went into the valley to collect medicine, and met an old man, he said that the gorgons were just a woman trapped in the cave in the Panlong Cave, but the old man was puzzled, could it be that this girlfriend's immortality can live for hundreds of years. ”

Alas, it doesn't matter what kind of banshee he is, if he doesn't go deeper, how can he know what the snake demon is, maybe it's still the ghost words released by Tu to scare people, I have to go back quickly, otherwise the town of thirty miles will be restless.

So I said goodbye to Mengzhu and Hua Tuo and returned to Thirty Mile Town.

Sure enough, the school was already in chaos, and various versions of the rumors spread throughout the school in just a few hours, and those timid girls said that tonight, they didn't dare to sleep alone.

The head teacher led a few students to look around, and the principal was also anxious, and searched all the corners of the school, the principal would never believe that I would disappear into the class in an instant, he said that I must be hiding in a corner.

I appeared in the corridor of the laboratory building, and at the end of the corridor, I saw the art teacher sitting there painting Kowloon Gang, and when I walked into her, she suddenly let out a silver bell-like laugh, but this laughter was not pleasant to me, but like a bell sound.

The art teacher looked up, oh my god, isn't this the Gorgon? In front of me, it wasn't our art teacher, and her hair turned into countless poisonous snakes......

Yes! I shook my head vigorously and looked at it again, there was no poisonous snake, the person in front of me was the art teacher, she stopped laughing, but looked at me in a daze.

I spoke, "Why didn't you go to me?" ”

The art teacher smiled and said, "Are you a ghost?" ”

"What do you see?"

"It's not."

I looked at her paintings, which were so vivid that they could copy the mountains of Jiulonggang onto a piece of paper, and I was afraid that there were few people in Thirty Mile Town, or there were no such people at all, only art teachers could.

"I heard that you suddenly disappeared in the class, like ...... It's like evaporating. The art teacher asked.

"yes, I played a trick on them."

"Do you know magic?"

"Yes, a big change!"

"Can you take me to your village?"

"Absolutely."

A few students found the laboratory building at this time, and when they saw me, they shouted, "Here you are!" Here it is! If you find it, go tell the principal! ”
