The dragon is a mythical animal in ancient myths and legends in China and other East Asian regions, and it is the chief of scale insects. It is often used to symbolize auspiciousness, and is one of the most representative traditional cultures of East Asian nations such as the Chinese nation, and the dragon culture such as the legend of the dragon is very rich.
The most basic feature of the image of the dragon is "nine likenesses", and the specific nine animals are still debated. Legend has it that it can be visible and hidden, small and huge, short and long. The spring equinox ascends to the sky, the autumn equinox dives into the abyss, and these images of dragons, which have been developed in the late period, are more complex than the original dragons. In feudal times, the dragon was a symbol of imperial power, and the utensils used in the imperial palace were also decorated with dragons. The dragon is the fifth of the 12 traditional Chinese zodiac signs, and is called the "Four Spirits" along with the phoenix, turtle and lin in the Book of Rites and Fortunes.
Regarding the origin of the dragon, one theory is that it originated from the Yellow Emperor's Busan He. "Historical Records: The Five Emperors" records: After defeating Emperor Yan and Chiyou, the Yellow Emperor toured the Quartet and "fit Busan". This "conformity" not only unified the letter of the military orders of the various ministries and established a political alliance, but also derived from the totems of the original tribes
