Tell me about the origin of Long's surname Ao?

Get to the point, why are the dragon kings all surnamed ao? I collected five explanations:

1. Because of "proudly coming to China" in Yuan Zaju.

It is interesting that all the dragon kings are surnamed ao. For example, the white name in The Journey to the West is Ao Lie, and the four dragon kings in the list of gods are all named Ao.

The reason why the dragon kings are all surnamed Ao can be traced back to an ancient book. The four dragon kings first proposed in Yuan Zaju "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea for Jade Board" were all named Ao, and most of the later novels extended the title of dragon king in this novel.

In fact, there is a more interesting folklore about dragons, which comes from the beginning of the text.

It is said that when Li Laojun created the world, he became a four-unlike water demon, an elf named Mao Du. Sister Xiangu, the elder sister of the Jade Emperor, missed the mortal world, developed feelings with this Mao Du, and gave birth to four beasts: Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku and Xuanwu.

Because the place where Daxian and Maodu met was in the county, which used to be called the county, and the dragon king's name was Ao.

2. Because of the characteristics of dragons.

Dragon ranks fifth in the 12 zodiac, which means the Ninth Five-Year Plan.

The fifth hexagram of the Book of Changes is called: Feilong is in the sky.

In our minds, dragons can roam around, soar in the sky and do anything from the sky to the sea.

The traditional Chinese characters in Shuo Wen Jie Zi mean "Chu" above and "Fang" below, which itself means "Xing".

There is also a saying that the dragon is called "┗|` o' | ┛ ow ~ ~

Later, in order to personify the dragon, the novelist took into account its characteristics, so "ao" became the surname of the dragon and entered the genealogy of the dragon. Among the many pronunciations of the word "ao", ao is the simplest and most like the form of traveling and flying, so I chose "ao" as the surname of the dragon.

4. Is it related to the Taoist named "Ao" who cultivates immortals?

The dragon king's surname "ao" only appeared in the late Southern Song Dynasty. In the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a Taoist named Ao who specialized in alchemy and cultivation of immortals. People call him Aozhenren. It is said that he practiced Taoism and turned dragons into flying dragons. Then folklore took his surname "ao" as the name of the dragon king.
