The evolution of the Chinese character "dragon" can be traced back to the earliest oracle bone inscriptions. In the oracle bone inscription, it was originally the shape of a beast head and a snake body, which was shaped like a winding and circling dragon, and the word "dragon" has a pictograph, which means a kind of supernatural animal with scales and whiskers and can make clouds and rain. Over time, its form has also undergone corresponding changes, and the dragon character has undergone different forms of writing, such as gold, seal, and traditional characters.
In the Jin text, the character "dragon" becomes more complex, the lines are smoother, and the overall form is more vivid. By the time of the seal inscription, the character "dragon" began to become more regular, the glyphs were more symmetrical, and the strokes were clearer.
With the simplification of Chinese characters, the modern character for "dragon" has evolved into a form of concise strokes, but still retains its pictographic character, which resembles the shape of a dragon winding and circling.
In general, the evolution of the character "dragon" is a process from simple to complex, and then from complex to simplified, but its pictographic characteristics have been retained.
