Why doesn't the only dragon in the zodiac exist?

First of all, the ancient people in China arranged these zodiac signs for them, and the ancient people in China stipulated that a certain branch would correspond to an animal. All other creatures in the zodiac exist, only the dragon was imagined by the ancients, so the dragon does not exist.

First, dragons don't exist. First of all, we should know the relationship between the Chinese zodiac and those animals that exist in reality. These animals are not because of the zodiac, but what kind of animals have these 12 zodiac signs. In ancient China, every earthly branch of 12 was equipped with an animal to represent this earthly branch, which became the zodiac. Some of these 12 animals exist in real life.

If there is no tiger in real life, then the tiger's position will be another animal that human beings appear. There is no dragon in real life. Dragons are just the product of ancient people's fantasy, so although there are dragons in the zodiac, there are still no dragons in reality.

Second, the dragon is a magical creature in ancient Chinese myths and legends, and it is the king of fish and reptiles. In ancient legends, it is a very auspicious beast with the ability to spread clouds and rain. In ancient China, it was basically a symbol of the emperor. Only those who stand at the top of China feudal society can use the dragon as a symbol. The existence of dragons stems from the ancient people's worship of unreality. The ancients imagined such an animal with various biological characteristics and worshipped him.

Third, the origin of the zodiac There are many kinds of origins of the zodiac, and now people have no way to be sure. There are three mainstream theories, one is related to the stars in the sky, the other is related to the totem sacrifice in ancient China, and the other is foreign. No matter in ancient China or abroad, there is a tradition of studying stars in ancient times, and many things are related to stars. Animals in the zodiac have many connections with animals in the 28 stars, so some people suspect that the zodiac originated in the 28 stars. It may also be a totem sacrifice. The ancients in China have always had the habit of offering sacrifices to various animals. The ancients may think that an animal has auspicious omen, so it will sacrifice, which may be how the zodiac came from. It may also be foreign. There were similar zodiac signs in Babylon, but the animals were different, so some people suspected that they came to China to get the zodiac signs.
