In nature, there is no such thing as a dragon. Dragons are due to the limitations of people's scientific cognition in ancient times, and the inability to explain the vicissitudes of nature. For the needs of feudal rule, the ancient emperors strengthened their special status of monarchical divine right, incarnated the image of the dragon into themselves, deified it, and shaped themselves into spokesmen for the secret power in nature. The subjective assumptions of the ancients on superstition and the sober objective assumptions of the ruling class in the feudal era gradually evolved the image of the dragon into the lord of nature and the co-lord of mankind.
The image of the dragon seems to really exist in a virtual form, while the staghorn snake body, horse-faced eagle claw scales become the standard fantasy shape of the dragon. In many deified legends, dragons are used in different scenes as avatars of high-level gods with various magical powers. For example, it can swallow clouds and spit fog, shiyun bu rain; control the rivers, lakes and seas, control the water; can turn thunder and force to split the Huashan Mountain; can spit out the gods and burn the eight wildernesses; can swallow the sun and the moon, open the eyes for day, and close the eyes for night. In all these cases, the dragon's mana is boundless, and it can fight against the strongest gods. So, who is the strongest and fiercest of the Ancient Divine Dragons in the Classic of Mountains and Seas?
1. Candle Dragon. Distinguishing characteristics: mouth to mouth candle. Power Index: ★★ ✰✰✰ Special Skill: Open eyes for day, closed eyes for night.
This dragon is also called Candle Yin, the footless dragon in ancient Chinese mythology. Why is it called candlelight? Guo Pu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty explained in the "Notes on the Classic of Mountains and Seas": "The sky is not enough in the northwest, and there is no yin and yang news, so there is a dragon fire spirit that used to shine in the Heavenly Gate. This so-called candle shade also. This means that the dragon holds a candle in its mouth to illuminate the gate of heaven where there is no light in the sky. It seems that this dragon is also hard enough, equivalent to a street lamp pole.
It is said in the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Overseas Northern Classic: "The god of the bell mountain, the name of the sun and the candle, is regarded as day, blind as night, blown as winter, and called for summer." Do not drink, do not eat, do not rest, and breathe for the wind. Thousands of miles long, in the east of no enlightenment. It's a thing. The human-faced snake is red and lives under the Bell Mountain. Northwest Overseas, north of Chishui, there is Mount Zhangwei. The Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Great Wilderness of the North also says, "There are gods and men with red faces and snakes, and their eyes are straight and right." Its obscurity is obscure, and its vision is clear. No food, no sleep, no rest; Wind and rain are gurudwara. It is the candle nine yin, which is called the candle dragon. Translated into the vernacular, it is "The candle dragon lives in the extremely cold place in the north, is the mountain god of Zhongshan and Zhangwei Mountain, with a body of thousands of miles, full of red, a human face and a snake body, a mouth holding candle, with open eyes for day, closed eyes for night, breath for winter, exhale for summer, can call the wind and rain." Therefore, it was not enough to ascend to the throne as a god, but eventually he died of old age. Legend has it that the Candle Dragon was originally evil and stirred up the heavens and the earth, but was subdued by Nuwa and had a son named Drum, who was later executed by the Emperor of Heaven.
Second, Ying Long. Distinguishing features: born with wings. Power Index: ★★★★★ Special Skill: And the Lord of The Weathered Rain.
Ying Long appears three times in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, one of which is in the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Great Wilderness Of the East Classic: "In the northeast corner of the Great Wilderness, there is a mountain called the Hill of the Fierce Plough. Ying Long is at the south pole, killing the clams you and the father of the quack, can not return to the upper, so the lower number of drought. Drought is the shape of a dragon, but heavy rain. "This record says that Ying Long lived at the southern end of the Fierce Plough Mountain, and because the beast had killed Yu You and Father Kwa, he could not return to the heavenly court, so there was no god in the sky who walked clouds and made rain, causing the nether realm to drought for many years. Therefore, whenever there is a great drought, people make it easier for the earth to make the shape of a dragon, so as to obtain rain.
The second and third are all recorded in the "Great Wilderness Of the North Classic": "Ying Long has killed You, and he has killed his father, but he went to the south, so the south is rainy." It also reads: "Xuan You made a soldier to fight the Yellow Emperor, and the Yellow Emperor was the wild field of the Northern Hebei of Yinglong." Ying Dragon Livestock Water. Xuan You asked the wind and rain to master the wind and rain, and let the wind and rain prevail. Both of these records are related to the Yellow Emperor of Xuanyuan, who was enshrined as the ancestor of Yanhuang, and xuanyou was the leader of the Jiuli tribe, "eighty-one brothers, pot head iron forehead, sand-eating five soldiers, fighting swords and crossbows, and wei zhen the world", while the Yellow Emperor "string wood is the arc, the wood is the arrow", and the bear, the cat, the cat, the tiger are the soldiers, which shows that the degree of civilization and productivity of the yellow emperor are higher than that of the Yellow Emperor.
In myths and legends, Ying Long gave birth to phoenixes and unicorns, which are the ancestors of the dragon clan, that is, the so-called ancestral dragons, and only dragons with wings like Ying Long can be regarded as real dragons. He first lived in the heavenly world, in order to help Nuwa to be able to make up the heavens smoothly, and the next fan drove for Nuwa and took Nuwa to see the Heavenly Emperor. It can be seen that the status of Ying Long among the Dragon Clan is very high.
3. Ice Yi. Distinguishing features: Double Dragon combination. Power Index: ★★★ ✰✰ Special Skill: Control of all things.
In the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Northern Classic of Hai Nei, it is recorded: "Ice yi human face, ride two dragons." A deep abyss of loyalty. "Here it is said that Bing yi often travels by dragon at a depth of three hundred taels from the pole abyss. The appearance of the Ice God is a human-faced fish body, and he rides two dragons and cruises between the rivers of heaven and earth. Another theory is that from the pole abyss is called the zhongji yuan.
Seeing this, everyone must have some doubts. Isn't this ice dragon either? Myths and legends say that after Ying Long helped the Yellow Emperor to kill Xuan You and Quao's father, because of the excessive consumption and could not return to heaven, he sent Down Ganlin in the south, but as the Yellow Emperor cast a perfect merit in Jingshan, Ying Long's mana was also restored, and the Yellow Emperor Chengxian rode Ying Long up to the Heavenly Realm, and Ying Long was crowned as the great god of "Si Si Ji, Si Zhongyue, Si Zhongtu, Si Huang He, Jiang, Han, Huai, Ji Zhi Shui, and the descendants of Si Huang Emperor". This caused the dissatisfaction of Bingyi, the lord of the Yellow River in the world, so Bingyi transformed into a dragon and launched a big battle with Ying Long, and Bingyi was defeated. After all, Bingyi is an otaku who has lived in the abyss of the river for a long time, and it is really not self-sufficient to challenge Ying Long, after that, he taoguang and obscurity, and is ordered by the heavenly court to be in charge of the recovery of all things in the spring of the world, and he is also a big man in charge of the party, which is worth his wishes.
The legendary dragon, or fierce and powerful, domineering, or churning in the universe, sowing clouds and rain under the whole world. Moving, the wind and clouds follow, thunder and thunder; quiet, then lie in the waves, the wind and waves are calm. Which of the three types of dragons do you think is the most ruthless in the Classic of Mountains and Seas?
