At that time, just in time for the drought in Henan Province, perhaps because there had been no rain for a long time, a local reservoir fell by 100 meters overnight, revealing the dry riverbed below. Many local children regard this place as a good place to play, after all, the soil under the riverbed is much more comfortable to step on than on land.

However, one day, while playing, a few children suddenly found that there was a lot of green things under the ground, and they couldn't see what it was. A few daring children proposed digging it out to see if it could be used as a toy. However, several children exhausted all their strength and failed to pull out these things for half a minute. A few children felt that it was not interesting, so they simply ignored it.

After listening to it, the adults realized that perhaps this is the cultural relics left here by the ancients, and it is best to report to the local cultural relics protection department as soon as possible, otherwise it is very likely that the cultural relics will be artificially damaged. After the experts learned of this, they rushed to the scene and immediately launched a protective excavation of this place, and finally dug up 6 "golden dragons". At that time, this was not a real dragon, but an ancient period of the Big Ding, on top of which was decorated with a total of six dragons, and later experts learned according to the historical records that this was the Prince Noonding.
