Did dragons ever exist?

Whether the dragon exists or not, there is no reliable historical relic to prove its existence, but the dragon has been the totem of the Chinese nation since ancient times.

1987, "China Yilong" was discovered at Yangshao Cultural Site in Shui Bo, west of Puyang County, Henan Province. On the left and right sides of an adult man's skeleton in the center of the tomb, there are dragon and tiger patterns carved by mussels. The dragon pattern is1.78m long and 0.67m high, with head held high, bow bent, long tail, front paws raking the ground and rear paws pedaling the ground, taking off in a straight line. Tiger pattern is 1.39 m long and 0.63 m high. The tiger's head is slightly lower, its eyes are round, its mouth is open, its teeth are exposed, its tail hangs down and its limbs alternate, like a walking tiger. The dragon and tiger patterns carefully carved with clam shells on both sides of the tomb were identified by archaeologists as "the first righteous dragon in China"

The owner of the tomb is an old man with dragon and tiger patterns on both sides of the tomb.

As a totem of the Chinese nation, the existence of the dragon is still possible, but there is not enough evidence to prove its existence.
