In China's long-standing culture, there are always some strange stories and myths and legends, although the true and false are difficult to distinguish, but it brings people a rich imagination, greatly pleasing people's body and mind, but also let modern people understand what strange things happened in ancient times, or what strange species once survived on the Chinese mainland, and if you want to understand the story, then "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is definitely an excellent choice.
In the description of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" there is such a record, it is said that in the ancient times there was a person who ate dragon meat, to know how legendary the dragon is, no one has ever seen its appearance, even whether it is really there is no definite evidence to prove, so now people have also been treated as a legend, to say that eating dragon meat is absolutely a miracle in the world, and this one who has eaten dragon meat has also bred many descendants later, and these descendants are also divided into different surnames, if you are one of the surnames, Maybe you may be his descendant.
Dragon: The totem of Huaxia is also symbolized
Dragon has always been a creature that people believe in, although there is no evidence to prove that this creature did exist, but it has been a totem and symbol of China since ancient times, it is said that when the Yellow Emperor defeated the Yan Emperor, the two tribes merged into one, becoming the most powerful tribe at that time, after which the two joined forces to conquer other tribes, wanted to unify the world at that time, and establish a united clan society.
But to establish such a unified tribe must have a totem of its own, because at that time, other large and small tribes had a totem that symbolized their own tribe, which could be a horse, an eagle, or some other unique creatures, in short, each with its own beliefs.
So after the Yanhuang and Huang emperors defeated these tribes, they combined their totems to piece together the totem of "dragon", which is why dragons have a series of horse heads, snake bodies, eagle claws, fish tails, etc., our common biological characteristics, so this statement is still relatively reliable.
Since then, this totem has gradually become a symbol of Huaxia, because we are all descendants of Yanhuang, so it is also called the descendant of the dragon, the whole world, all the people of the country have a very high worship and belief in the dragon, even the ancient emperor also called himself the true dragon Tianzi, many of the objects used are carved with dragon patterns, to show their supreme ruling status, even today, the love of the chinese people for the dragon this creature is not diminished, wherever they go will recognize the totem of their own nation, And with high respect.
Legendary dragon trainers
In addition to folklore, there have been many records and descriptions about the dragon in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", but in it the dragon is not how tall it exists, but it can be tamed and become a "pet", and the person who tamed the dragon is named Liu Lei, this person is not ordinary, he is a descendant of Tang Yao, the leader of the Tao Tang clan of the Yellow Emperor's descendants, and is also recognized by historians as the first person with the surname of Liu, and is still divided into the ancestors by many descendants of the Liu surname.
It is said that he learned how to dragon and royal dragon from the Dong father of the Dragon Clan at that time, and finally he was a small success, and he could be regarded as an expert in the aspect of dragon training, but he finally failed to learn all the skills of the Dragon Clan, on the whole, there was still some deviation, after returning from school, the Kong Jia Emperor of the dynasty just happened to get a male and a female and two dragons, he did not know how to raise, so he handed these two dragons to Liu Lei's management, and Liu Lei raised them for seven years.
But then a major thing happened, because of poor care, a dragon suddenly fell ill, and Liu Lei happened not to be at home, so he delayed the timely treatment of the timely, the dragon also fell ill and died, the occurrence of this situation can frighten Liu Tired, his negligence is not to let the dragon break in the land of China, not to mention that these two dragons were given to him by Emperor Kongjia, and now that there is a problem, the blame is naturally on him, and it is estimated that it is likely to be executed on the basis of guilt.
Liu Lei's first thought was to run away quickly, but the world was the biggest, after all, it was within the jurisdiction of Emperor Kong Jia, not to mention that he could not live all his life and secretly live, so he had a clever move and came up with another solution, that is, under the pretext of offering gifts, the meat of the dead dragon was cooked in various cooking methods for Kong Jia Emperor to eat, although this idea was very bold, but it was a good countermeasure, because Kong Jia Emperor would definitely be curious about what the taste of dragon meat, he would definitely try to eat a bite, so that, The responsibility for the dragon's death will also be shared with him.
The only person who has ever eaten dragon meat
After Liu Lei offered the cooked dragon meat to Kong Jia Emperor, sure enough, he did eat it, and the more he ate it, the more delicious it was, and he didn't want to eat any other food, after that he asked Liu Lei to continue to cook dragon meat for him to eat, although the dragon was huge, he couldn't stand Kong Jia Di Dun to eat like this, so it didn't take long for this dragon's dragon meat to be eaten by Kong Jia Emperor, and even the living dragon was cruelly killed to make meat for Kong Jia Emperor to eat.
After all the dragon meat was eaten, Liu Lei saw that the time had come, so he packed up his things and fled quickly, Kong Jia Emperor knew that he had eaten all the dragon meat and did not blame him, and chose to let him go, but strangely, after this, not many years after Kong Jia Emperor suddenly fell ill and died, many people think that he ate too much dragon meat, and was punished, so there will be such an ending, since then the dragon has completely disappeared in China, has not appeared again, and the dragon has been slowly packaged into a mysterious and powerful existence.
Although Emperor Kongjia died, but he had many descendants, as a descendant of the royal family in order to avoid the suppression and hunting of other rulers, forced them to split into different surname families, namely Yu, Fei, Zeng, Xiang, Zou, Ouyang and other surnames, if you are one of the surnames, it is likely that your ancestor is Kongjia Emperor, and you may also be the descendant of the only person who has eaten dragon meat.
epilogue
Of course, whether the dragon really existed has always been a mystery, and kong JiaDi did not necessarily eat a real dragon at that time, it was probably a rare biological species that people had never seen before, because it resembled a dragon, so it was mistaken for a dragon, after all, if it was a real dragon, how could it be tamed by humans? How can you die so easily? For this legend, everyone can take it for fun, don't take it too seriously, as to whether the dragon really exists or not, it can only wait for posterity to study and explore.
