The dragon in the movie Nezha is a demon race, so why do we call ourselves "descendants of the dragon"? ?

Because in the traditional myth of China, the dragon is a sacred and auspicious creature, and Nezha first came from the west, so the dragon in Nezha is also a western view. In western countries, the dragon is similar to the snake image that lures Eve to commit a crime in the Bible, so in their view, the dragon is a symbol of Satan and naturally a demon race.

The image of dragon first appeared in primitive society. It is the totem of Fuxi clan and is worshipped by people. After entering the feudal society, the dragon became the symbol of the emperor. For example, Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu, deliberately described him as a descendant of the dragon in order to increase his mystery and legitimacy of the ruling regime. According to the history books of Emperor Han Gaodi, Liu Bang's mother was once tired from working in the field, lying by the pond and sleeping, dreaming of immortals. It happened that the sky thundered and the dark clouds covered the sun. When Liu Bang's father, Liu Taigong, went to the field to meet Mrs. Liu, he saw from a distance that there seemed to be a dragon plate on her. Not long after, Mrs. Liu became pregnant and gave birth to Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang.

Because the dragon is an ancient totem with many myths and legends and divine power, it not only symbolizes supreme power, but also represents the belief support of countless people. Feudal emperors used the powerful deterrent and blind worship of dragons in folk beliefs to turn dragons belonging to all ethnic groups into their ancestors. Only they are the "real dragons", and it was from this time that the emperor was called the "real dragon emperor". People's worship of dragons is also manifested in dragon dancing and dragon boat rowing in festivals. They think that the dragon was sent from heaven, and all the decisions they made were correct.

The ancients worshipped dragons because of their ability to spread clouds and rain, which further made them a spiritual symbol of the Chinese nation. Throughout the ages, water is an indispensable thing, which has both advantages and disadvantages, so the dragon's management ability in this respect is even more admirable, so until now, we all say that we are descendants of the dragon.
