There are a group of portraits of ancient emperors in the stone carvings of Wu Tomb in the Eastern Han Dynasty in Jiaxiang County, Shandong Province. Painters include Fuxi, Zhu Rong, Shennong, Huangdi, Tang Yao and Yu Xia 10 emperors. Among them, nine emperors are all heads, but Fu's image is very strange. He painted Nuwa. Both of them are decapitated, as if they belonged to Long Bian. In ancient China mythology, it is said that Fuxi and Nu Wa married and gave birth to human beings. Of course, human beings are descendants of dragons, so they are called "descendants of dragons". The word "descendants of the dragon" came from this.
The meaning of the descendants of the dragon:
In ancient China mythology, human beings were created by Nu Wa squeezing loess. Nu Wa created human beings, so who created Nu Wa herself? Generally speaking, Nuwa was first created by people who worshipped snakes as totems.
What is a totem? Totem is the symbol of clan in primitive society. Totem belief is a very primitive belief. The color of the snake totem can be clearly seen in the images of Nvwa 、 Fuxi and others. Snake totem is widely distributed, and now it is mainly concentrated in the southeast and southwest of China. During thousands of years of continuous migration, the cultures of various ethnic groups have blended with each other, and snake totems have spread all over the country. Both Gaoshan nationality in Taiwan Province province and Li nationality in Hainan province have traces or customs of snake totem. In areas with snakes as totems, it is generally believed that "snake" is the prototype of "dragon" and "dragon" is the divine display of "snake". So in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui, domestic snakes are called "black dragon", "dragon" and "dragon". In Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and other places, some ethnic groups call themselves "dragon species", "dragon people" and "dragon houses" and build snake temples to worship snake gods.
It can be seen that our Chinese nation is a descendant of the dragon and has a profound historical origin. The dragon is a symbol of China people, and the Chinese nation proudly considers itself a "descendant of the dragon".
