China has a very long "dragon culture" and is also very reverent of dragons, but according to history, there is such an emperor who once shot a real dragon, who is this person? He was the founding emperor of the Liao Dynasty, Yelü Abaoji. Are dragons real? Did Liao Taizu really shoot a dragon? Experts dug up the ancient tomb 8,000 years ago and found ironclad evidence of the existence of dragons.
This Jeroboam was no ordinary man in the ordinary sense. The world records that when he was born, he had visions in heaven. His mother was asleep, dreaming that the sun fell from the sky and fell into his arms, and then his mother conceived him. When Jeroboam was born, the house was suddenly full of light.
So did he actually shoot a dragon? This is also recorded in the ancient books, in the early days of the establishment of the Khitan kingdom, yelü Abaoji suddenly blew a fierce wind outside the main hall, and a huge dragon loomed in the clouds. The trees outside the main hall were crumbling, and many people were creeping to the ground, afraid of being accidentally blown away by the wind. At this time, Liao Taizu strode out of the temple. Take out the bow and arrow you usually use on the battlefield, pull the bow with your full arm, shoot the long arrow, and shoot the dragon's head with only one arrow. The tyrannosaurus roared, flying sand and stones, and those who saw this scene were all terrified. Only Liao Taizu stood majestically and confidently. The dragon roared in the air for a short time, then fell from top to bottom and fell outside the temple. There were good people who came to watch, and the dragon was out of breath.
After this incident, Liao Taizu's reputation in the Khitan state increased rapidly. People regarded Liao Taizu as a true deity, and the Khitan kingdom began to flourish and flourish.
Is this really true? Was it that Liao Taizu deliberately sought someone to fabricate it in order to facilitate the consolidation of political power when he established the country? Is it a fabrication of the world in order to deify the image of Liao Taizu? Archaeologists have explored the tomb of Liao Taizu and discovered a surprising secret.
The Chahai ruins in Fuxin City, Liaoning Province, are the tombs of Yelü Abaoji. Here, archaeologists unearthed a stone pile dragon made of reddish-brown boulders. The dragon's shape is scrappy and bent into a bow. The widest part of the dragon head is about two meters, and the stone pile plastic dragon found here is also the earliest dragon found in the world, which shows that in
8000
People already had a dragon culture years ago. In the usual sense, art comes from life, and many scholars believe that people could not have fabricated the prototype of the dragon out of thin air at that time, some people may have seen the real dragon, and the shooting of the real dragon by Liao Taizu may not be out of thin air, maybe the dragon once lived truly.
Archaeologists have made new discoveries, dragon motifs have also been found at the Yangshao Cultural Site in Puyang, Henan, and fossils of dragons with "long horns" have also been found in Xinpu Township, Guanling County, Anshun, Guizhou, which may provide some proof for the myths that have been circulating for a long time, and more and more people believe that dragons have really existed.
