Summary: It can be seen from historical records, stories and legends; The original "dragon" is not a virtual animal, but a variety of fast-moving animals that can be used as a means of transportation for people.

The dragon character in Oracle Bone Inscriptions comes from the beginning of Xin, from the body of Panqu, which is both knowing and pictographic. The word "Xin" is like a thorn in ancient Chinese. Its original meaning is "iron fist" and its extension is "authoritarianism" (see Thirty-two Basic Chinese Characters and Related Issues, edited by Liangzhu Culture Museum, published by Zhejiang Ancient Books Publishing House in September 2002). The word "disk" means "a snake with a wavy body bending from side to side". "Xin" and "the shape of the coil" together are "authoritative animals like snakes"
On the dragon in Oracle Bone Inscriptions, the dragon is the dragon horn or dragon mouth faucet in Xin, which is connected with the S-shaped dragon body (animal hieroglyphics are side elephants).
The dragon character in seal script is "spicy meat" on the left and "scale worm winding shape" on the right. "Faith" means "authoritarianism". "Meat" means "entity". "Xin" and "meat" combine to represent "autocratic entity" and "winding" refers to the "S" shape, that is, the twisting and swinging movement of the snake body. The "S" shape is accompanied by equidistant short strokes, which is used to abstractly represent "scaly claws".
The traditional dragon character in regular script is "standing meat" on the left and "S" on the right, or it is regarded as a roughly "bow" shape. "Li" is a "new" province, which is homologous to the prefix "Emperor" and stands for "authoritarianism". The bow on the right represents "bending", with the head above and the tail below, and the horizontal lane arranged at equal intervals in the middle, symbolizing "scales, limbs and claws".
To sum up, the original meaning of the word dragon is: a snake-shaped authoritarian animal.
Explanation: the dragon's authority is embodied in one thing: it can cure drought and flood.
The origin of dragons
In China's myths and legends, it is a legendary magical animal, with the image of a snake, lizard legs, chicken feet, antlers, fish scales, fishtail, a Chinese character (traditional) "dragon", a beard and a bead on the forehead. According to Shan Hai Jing, Xia Houqi, Ru Shou and Ju Mang all "rode the rain dragon". There are other secretaries, Zhuan Xu, Lapras and the Four Seas, Di Ku, Spring and Summer, Lapras. The predecessors divided dragons into four types: those with scales, those with wings, Ying Long, those with horns and those without horns. The earliest dragon pattern found in China comes from the Chahai site in Xinglongwa Culture 8000 years ago (Xinglongwa Culture was named after the excavation of Xinglongwa site in Aohan Banner, Inner Mongolia, which is adjacent to Liaoning Province, and the Chahai site is located in Fuxin County, Liaoning Province). Found a dragon about 19.7 meters long, piled with reddish-brown stones. The discovery of this dragon in Xinglongwa Culture pushed the history of dragon worship in China to 8,000 years ago. In the early days, the ancients could not make a reasonable explanation for most natural phenomena, so they hoped that their national totem would have the power of wind, rain and electricity, the majestic posture of mountains, swimming in the water like fish and flying in the air like birds. Therefore, the characteristics of many animals are concentrated on dragons, and dragons have gradually become "nine unlike" (with the characteristics of nine animals). This composite structure means that the dragon is the head of all animals and an omnipotent god. There are many different images of dragons in ancient books. One of them is said to be slender, with four feet and anticlimactic. Speaking of piercing scales, there are whiskers on the head and five claws. Compendium of Materia Medica says that "dragons have nine similarities", which is a heterogeneous animal with the advantages of all kinds of animals. The little one is called Jiao, and the big one is called Dragon. Legend has it that it can be hidden, detailed and huge, short and long. The vernal equinox ascends to the sky, and the autumnal equinox dives into the deep, omnipotent. There are "Dragon King Products" in Taishang Cave's Divine Mantra Classic, which lists "Five Emperors Dragon King" by orientation, "Four Seas Dragon King" by ocean, 54 dragon king names and 62 dragon king names by everything in the world. In Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, an altar official was set up to offer sacrifices to the Dragon King. The fossils of Song Taizu in Xinlong (18) have followed the Five Dragon Sacrifice System in Tang Dynasty. In the second year of Song Huizong Daguan (1 108), all the five dragons in the world were crowned kings. Seal Qinglong God as King of Ren Guang, Red Dragon God as King Jiaze, Huanglong God as King Fu Ying, White Dragon God as King Yiji, and Black Dragon God as King Lingze. In the second year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (1863), the dragon god of the canal was named "the god of the dragon king who should divide the water", so that the river chief could pay homage at the right time. The dragon kings in The Journey to the West are Ao Guang in the East China Sea, Aoqin in the South China Sea, Aorun in the West Sea and Aoshun in the North Sea, which are collectively called the Four Seas Dragon Kings. With regard to the origin of the dragon, after long-term research and textual research, people finally reached a relatively consistent understanding: the dragon is a synthesis of various animals and a symbol of totem worship formed in primitive society. The prototype of the dragon has sprouted in the late Neolithic period, and it is a virtual imagination with the totem of Xia nationality as the main body. The ancients had various explanations for this. It is said that poisonous snakes can fly without feet (see Xunzi's "Persuasion"); Those with scales are called dragons, those with horns are called [mound prisoners], and those without horns are called set dragons. (See Li Sao and Guang Ya quoted by Hong Bu. ) The one with wings is called (Wang Note). Some people say that dragons are like dogs and cows, while Lun Heng said, "The image of dragons is anticlimactic." It is also said that the shape of the dragon is the horn of a deer, the ear of a cow, the head of a camel, the eyes of a rabbit, the neck of a snake, the belly of a stork, the scales of a fish, the feet of a tiger and the claws of an eagle. There are crocodiles, lizards, horses and so on. But it is generally believed that the keynote of the dragon is snake. Wen Yiduo's masterpiece Fuxi Kao was the first to put forward this view systematically. The dragon is a big snake and the snake is a little dragon. Wen Yiduo be[lieves] believes that after the snake clan merged with other clans, it "absorbed many other totem clans (clans), and the snake accepted the four feet of the beast, the head of the horse, the tail of the deer, the claws of the dog, the scales and whiskers of the fish" and became the later dragon. On the basis of Wen Yiduo's research, later generations have done a lot of enrichment and supplement.
