It is not uncommon for Guizhou to sing dragons now. How do experts explain it?

"Ow ..." Hong Zhong-like "Long Yin" sound came from Weining Mountain in Guizhou, and the locals all ran to see what had happened. However, no one saw the dragon. The relevant departments quickly denied the rumor that experts had come to the scene to investigate the terrain, and the voice was not as loud as that transmitted by the internet. Some people say that this sound is post-synthesized. Anyway, I believe that in the future, the truth will come out.

There are all kinds of scientific means to find out the truth in modern times, but there are only different opinions in ancient times, so there are many records about dragons in the official history.

Liu Lei tamed the dragon.

Liu Lei is Liu's ancestor. He lived in Xia Dynasty and studied dragon defense. One day, Emperor Kong got two dragons in Longdanggou in the southeast corner of Qiling City, Linying County, Henan Province. It is said that they were given to him by God. The dragon car is very tall, but someone has to tame it first. So Kong Jia invited Liu Lei.

Seven years later, one of the female dragons died, and Liu Lei secretly processed the dragon meat into a meat soup and presented it to the Kongs. Kong Jia was full of praise and asked Liu Lei to do more. Liu Lei panicked. Only two dragons. How long can this last? After careful consideration, he fled overnight and arrived in Lushan County, close to Peixian County. 1600 years later, there was a son of Chilong in Pei County, who was a descendant of Liu Bang and Liu Lei.

According to Zuo Zhuan, in 5 13 BC, dragons appeared outside Jiangdu, the state of Jin. Wei Xianzi, who was in power at that time, specifically asked the Taishi Cai Mo about it, and then Cai Mo told him the above story.

And 10 years ago, a enter the dragon happened in the capital of Zheng, which shocked the people and made them ask for disaster relief and prayers. However, Bogutong, the son of the ruling party at that time, said today: "What does Dragon Fight have to do with us? I have nothing to turn to it, and it has nothing to turn to me. " Childbirth is rational. In his eyes, the dragon is a special animal. If not, how can there be a dragon trainer?

Experts have a positive attitude towards this historical record. They believe that dragons must exist. The key question is, what was the dragon at that time? According to their analysis, the Chinese alligator is the most likely one now.

A real dragon

After that, there were more and more records about dragons. For example, Liu Bang is the son of the Red Dragon. Of course, this is obviously a beautiful legend deliberately fabricated by the rulers of the Han Dynasty in order to show the world the legitimacy of Emperor Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty.

During the Three Kingdoms period, there were also many records about dragons in the annals of the Three Kingdoms.

In 229 AD, Huanglong appeared in Wuchang, Fankou, and Sun Quan acceded to the throne according to his destiny, changing his country name to Huanglong.

In 233 AD, a dragon appeared in the well of northern Mangshan Mobei. Cao Sou of Wei Mingdi personally went there to see the dragon style. After returning to North Korea, he changed his title to Qinglong, Mobei to Veron and presented it to the world. At that time, Liu Shao, a doctor of Wei, praised this matter in his fu. In his works, Qinglong is magnificent and brightly lit. Liu Shao also called it "self-discipline, and there is no bright future", lamenting that it is better to see the past than the present.

It can be seen that in the eyes of the rulers at that time, the dragon represented the auspicious wealth given by heaven, and seeing the dragon may be a means of claiming the emperor.

During the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, stories about dragons were common, not only in official history, but also recorded in many local chronicles.

For example, on June 9, Zheng De 12, nine black dragons sucked water from the river, and the boat was sucked into the air by a waterspout, but the woman on board was put back on the ground. During the Qianlong period, the dragon tail was thrown down and the water rose from the ground to the air. In the seventh year of Guangxu, a dragon appeared over Junshan, rolling water and blowing waves, and the wind roared. A farmer was sucked into the air for dozens of feet before falling to the ground.

However, these dragon watching phenomena usually occur during storms. Lang Ying, a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, raised a question: When people see dragons, they have to fight and get water, but it must be stormy and thunderous. How can people tell whether they have seen a real dragon in such bad weather?

Therefore, some experts believe that people may not encounter real dragons at that time, but natural disasters such as tornadoes and tsunamis.

The sternum of a bird

Just as everyone was arguing, the real keel came out again.

According to Tan Qian's Miscellaneous Jujube Forest, in the ninth year of Chongzhen, a landslide occurred in Qu Di Village, Shanxi Province, and a pair of keels survived. It is said that the faucet is as big as five buckets, the dragon's teeth are 3 cm wide and the dragon's claws are 1.2 m long. Unfortunately, there were no archaeologists at that time, so people quickly dismembered it and hid the keel at home.

It turned out that a doctor confirmed that it was a keel, which was recognized as a valuable Chinese medicine at that time. At that time, it coincided with the Little Ice Age of the Ming Dynasty, and natural disasters and plagues continued, and people needed keel as medicine.

So, does the keel really exist? Some experts have analyzed that the so-called keel may be the Oracle Bone Inscriptions used by Shang wizards for divination. After each divination, these Oracle Bone Inscriptions are usually buried in the soil. Thousands of years later, herb collectors dug them up and ground them into medicine. Therefore, doctors call Oracle bones keel.

Whether the dragon exists or not, how many people have seen it with their own eyes and what it looks like, has always been a mystery. Perhaps, as experts say, the dragon seen in the Spring and Autumn Period is an alligator, and the dragon seen in later generations may be a tornado and other natural disasters.
