Who came up with Xilong?

A legendary creature in the west, with great strength and magical ability, has a wide variety and the family size is no less than that of the dragon in the east. China's dragon is "the dragon gives birth to nine children, and each child is different", while the western dragon is "the dragon gives birth to a hundred children, and each child is different". There are sea dragons living in the deep sea, fire dragons sleeping in volcanoes, poisonous dragons dormant in swamps and countless grotesque dragons, as well as nine-headed dragons, dragon beasts, Yalong, biped dragons and so on.

Western dragons are generally called dragons now, but for a long time, they were not. A branch of Semite founded Judaism at that time. Some people think that Seraphim in Judaism is the dragon that embodies the power of justice.

In western civilization, the concept of dragon closest to China in all aspects, essence, meaning and characteristics is Seraphim. Seraphim's position, function and significance in western mythology and religion are not only the most consistent with China protodragon in China mythology and religion, but also the etymological meaning of Seraphim in ancient Hebrew is the same as China protodragon. The dragon originated in China is a kind of snake. Seraphim is a python in ancient Hebrew, and it is the plural of Seraphim. It was also said that a suffix with the meaning of "flame" or "burning" was added. In early ancient Hebrew, python was often used to represent dragons because there was no word "dragon". The Bible shows that such a python has limbs. Some historical materials of Hebrew mythology also indirectly indicate that Seraphim's early image is closer to the dragon in Buron, China. The python with six limbs and six wings composed of fire is very similar to Ying Long in China's early mythology, while Seraphim is a familiar concept to westerners, but few people know Seraphim's true colors now. Now Seraphim in religious portraits and sculptures is human.
