In the Book of Songs, a collection of ancient poems and songs, dragons were described: "Ten Rides of the Dragon Flag" and "Yang Yang of the Dragon Flag", which showed the sacred and solemn scene of the banner painted with the dragon pattern hunting in the wind in grand sacrificial activities. In Chu Ci, which rose in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the dragon was also the object of the poet's fantasy praise. Qu Yuan, a great patriotic poet, expressed his lofty personality and strong feelings of worrying about his country with warm and sincere sentences and rich rhetoric in the well-known Lisao. When the poet said that he wanted a virtuous woman and a holy princess in the sky because he was too young for Chu to hold him, he fantasized that he was riding a dragon cart in the colorful clouds like a fairy. In another group of poems of the poet, Nine Songs, Qu Yuan artistically processed the songs of folk witchcraft worship, which injected his passion and made the poems full of fantastic romance and attractive charm. Most of the immortals described in the poems are driven by chariots, so there are many poems about dragons in the poems.

After the Han Dynasty, Fu style became popular. Thanks to the advocacy of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, especially Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Fu developed rapidly, but at the same time, it became beautiful and empty in content and style, and became a style of praise. After the Han Dynasty, the theory of Rui Fu prevailed, and Rui Fu focused on dragons, so dragons became the main theme of Fu. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the so-called "Dragon Fu" appeared from time to time, but most of them were illusory, and some of them were purely flattering. There is no great merit in art, only a few great writers copied the dragon fu by hand. For example, Bai Juyi's "Black Dragon Drinking Wei Shui Fu", although it is entirely the poet's imagination, gives people a vivid feeling and has considerable literary value. The Dragon Fu written by Wang Anshi in the Song Dynasty is a unique metaphor for people with dragons ~
