Traditional culture, for us is a cultural treasure, in ancient times people will put their hopes on the gods, so there will be "kingly power divine empowerment" and other ideas, the dragon as the highest god, in ancient times no one really saw the dragon, why the dragon has always appeared, but also the top of our zodiac, does the dragon really exist? Henan found a 6,000-year-old tomb, which contains the "first dragon in China", and it turned out that there was really a "dragon" in ancient times.
In 1987, Henan Puyang excavated an ancient tomb, which was to build the Yellow River Water Conservancy Project, so the tomb found on the slope of the water, archaeologists arrived and excavated it, archaeologists at that time did not have much hope for this tomb, and did not think of what kind of scene would appear when it was excavated. After exploring the ancient tomb, experts found that this tomb is about 6,000 years ago, belongs to the Yangshao culture, in the process of excavation, they found that the fourth layer has the image of an animal with mussel shells, including a dragon.
Archaeologists were very surprised after seeing the "dragon" in the ancient tomb, the owner of this tomb is a man, with a height of one meter and eighty-four, this corpse can be said to be taller than the cave man on the top of the mountain, which can't help but make archaeologists think.
Next to the tomb owner, there is a pile of "dragon" image, this is the earliest excavated dragon so far, this dragon bowed, feel is swinging, see this expert believes that this is the "first dragon in China", and the tiger next to the dragon looks very fierce, and the ancient commonly used East Palace Dragon, West Palace White Tiger is very similar.
In ancient China, the dragon has always occupied a very high position, often the emperor is compared to the dragon, and in various novels recorded, the dragon is also one of the ancient mythical beasts, so the dragon has been filled with ancient life, and later Buddhism slowly introduced to China, Buddhism also has a lot of records about the dragon, so that people's imagination of the dragon is more and more real, and by the influence of Chinese culture, there are many records about the dragon in other regions.
Moreover, the tomb is made of mussel shells and the placement of the skeletons. They are very similar to the ancient celestial charts, dividing the universe into five palaces in the east, west, south, and north, and comparing the east, west, south, and north to an animal, with a dragon in the east and a tiger in the west and a dragon and tiger in the figure. Therefore, experts believe that the content of this tomb is the same as the representation in the astrological chart, which has become the earliest astronomical map of the stars.
Everyone is more curious about who the owner of this tomb is, according to the inference of time, it is believed that The Most Likely, Fuxi and Xuanyou are the most likely. Ancient books record that Puyang was once the place where the mole lived, so the possibility of being a mole is very large, but the mole is a dragon, and there is a tiger in the tomb. The Fuxi totem is a tiger, and has also come to Puyang, and they also have a cultural fusion about dragons, but the death of the owner in the tomb is not simple, and Xuan you was killed by the Yellow Emperor and buried in the water slope, although Xuan You's speculation is large, but it is not confirmed that it is not known whose tomb it is.
