Dragon's record
According to ancient scripture, the dragon is a creation, with deer-like horns, camel's head, rabbit's eyes and the neck of a giant snake. Its abdomen looks like a "Shen" (a fictional crocodile-like water pipe). It has claws like eagles, fingers like tigers and ears like buffaloes. Dragons have the ability to change from one object to another in an instant; From fat to thin, from tall to short. It can also fly to the sky and go down to the bottom of the sea. It seems that dragons are creatures with super powers and can be transformed into various forms. In China, the dragon symbol was born in Shang and Yin Dynasties (the earliest hieroglyphic period in China in the 6th century BC +06- 1 1), and it was carved on animal bones and tortoise shells. These carved flowers describe a horned reptile with teeth, scales and some claws. The above symbols usually indicate that dragons are regarded as cruel, evil and unfortunate creatures. According to these symbols, scientists in China concluded that it was actually an alligator fish. For centuries, scientists have put forward many explanations and speculations about dragons. There is no doubt that the dragon in the original image must be a reptile, snake, crocodile or lizard. Fossils and remains dating back 5000-6000 years show that lizards, alligators and dragons evolved from totems symbolizing honor and religion. By studying these portraits, we can trace back to the earliest image of the dragon, its evolutionary history and its present appearance.

Therefore, the dragon is the crystallization of people's imagination and a mysterious creation worshipped by people for centuries. In modern Chinese painting, dragons also appear in various forms. Ethnic minorities describe dragons in various ways, from fish to crocodiles and people.
