Why did the dragon with low status in myth get the worship of ancient emperors?

In mythology, the status of the dragon has never been lower, and the dragon has always been a relatively detached position in mythology. ? Is the dragon in a low position? It's just an illusion created by the film version of Journey to the West. In the film and television drama version of The Journey to the West, the Dragon King of the Four Seas was teased by the Monkey King, a human monkey. It was less than 400 years from birth to the Dragon Palace and only 20 years of practice.

Having said that, the problem is actually obvious. In the Dragon Palace in the Four Seas, let's just say that there are four dragon kings who have practiced for more than 10,000 years. Don't say it's a dragon or a pig. It must be better than a genius who has been practicing for less than 400 years. Even if the Monkey King's cultivation and fighting capacity grow as fast as drinking water, he is definitely no match for the Dragon King of the Four Seas, not to mention turning the whole dragon upside down by himself.

In fact, in The Journey to the West's film and television drama version, it is also obvious to tell the audience that this is just a play staged by Dragon Palace and Heaven. Otherwise, why doesn't the whole Dragon Palace even have a shrimp, a soldier and a crab who can shoot, except for the Four Seas Dragon King? Even if you can't beat the Monkey King, in terms of the number of creatures in the ocean, the sea tactics can definitely drown the Monkey King.

Some people think that the dragon's status is low, one is influenced by TV dramas, and the other is that it has no own judgment. You believe what others tell you.

Imagine carefully that this sea area is managed by the Dragon King of the Four Seas, among which the Dragon King of the East China Sea is the boss and there are no other immortals. In other words, the territory of the ocean belongs entirely to the private territory of the dragon, and they are also in their own territory? Office? Honey, I never need to go to heaven to report every day. Going? How are you? Which of those majestic gods in the sky has such treatment? Yang Jian, the god of war, is just one of his men waiting in the sky.
