From the tomb of 6,000 years old, a "dragon" appeared in the tomb, and it turned out that there was really a "dragon" in ancient times.
China takes the dragon as the national totem, and the sons and daughters of China are the descendants of the dragon and have the spirit of the dragon, but does the dragon really exist as a revered divine beast? There are so many accounts of dragons that such domineering and mighty animals are rarely seen that the public questions: Dragons are imaginary creatures, right? Does it exactly exist? When was it born? Subsequently, experts conducted a carbon-14 test on the tomb and determined that the tomb was about 6,000 years old, which belonged to the Yangshao culture period. Through the scientific excavation of archaeologists, four groups of dragons and tigers and other animal patterns with mussel shells were found in the fourth layer of Yangshao culture, the most eye-catching of which was the first group of Tomb No. 45.
What makes people shine is not that there are any rare treasures in Tomb 45, but that a "dragon" was found inside. The owner of the tomb is a mature male, with thick bones, 1.84 meters long, lying on his back, with a head of south and north feet. This tall torso is 10 centimeters taller than the Dongren on the top of the Mountain in Beijing, 12 centimeters in Dawenkou in Shandong, and 14 centimeters in Hemudu and Banpo. Why is the gap so large?
In the 1980s, in Chahai Village, Shara Township, Fuxin Mongol Autonomous County, Liaoning Province, archaeologists excavated an ancient tomb for protection, and found a primitive tribal site 8,000 years away from today, which was named "Chahai Ruins", and the cultural relics that appeared in the Chahai ruins caused an uproar in the archaeological community. Archaeologists said that in the Chahai site appeared a large number of pottery, stone tools, jade, these antiquities are very exquisitely polished, it can be seen that more than 8,000 years ago, China has led the world in this regard, Chahai site also found dragon pottery pieces, this is a piece of jade ''True Dragon'', on which is also engraved ''Jade Dragon Hometown, the beginning of civilization'" eight characters.
According to the skeleton of the owner of the tomb, it is certain that the owner of the tomb is a man, but also a prime-age male, but the martyrdom did not cause much reaction from archaeologists, and what really surprised archaeologists was the two patterns around the owner of the tomb. The two regiments were placed parallel to the owner of the tomb, one left and one right, and after careful observation, the patterns posed with mussel shells were dragons and tigers. It should be known that since ancient times, dragons and tigers have been symbols of power in the history of our country, and such a regiment actually appeared in ancient tombs more than 6,000 years ago, which means that as early as 6,000 years ago, the ancients in our country have compared dragons and tigers to symbols of authority. In this way, the identity of the tomb owner must be very special, so who is the identity of the tomb owner? Scientists have found the answer from the skeleton.
You know, the dragon and the tiger have always been a symbol of authority, and this symbol was played to the extreme in the later feudal society, every emperor compared himself to a dragon, and the dragon and tiger burial around the tomb owner is also a symbol of authority, which means that the tomb owner has an extraordinary identity. According to the fact that the owner of the tomb lived more than 6,000 years ago, there is no doubt that the identity of the owner of the tomb must be a tribal leader at that time. However, we should also know that the person who can put the "dragon and tiger" pattern into the tomb to accompany the burial must not be an ordinary tribal leader, so who is the owner of the tomb? Obviously, it is impossible to find the answer from the historical records, and there is no possibility to find the results from the tomb, so who the owner of this ancient tomb more than 6,000 years ago is still an unsolved mystery.
In fact, being able to find the complete shape of the dragon in an ancient tomb more than 6,000 years ago is already a shocking discovery, enough to see the breadth and depth of the Chinese civilization, and this "dragon" from the ancient tomb with mussel shells can be called the "first dragon" in China's history. It is precisely because the burial of the dragon and tiger pattern in the tomb has attracted countless people to speculate on the identity of the tomb owner, among which the highest voice is that the identity of the tomb owner is one of the five emperors, and it may even be Xuan You.
