Показать описание
From ancient legends to modern-day anime, movies and games, Chinese dragons have captured the imagination of people around the world. These mythical creatures are revered in Chinese mythology as symbols of power, strength, and good fortune. Unlike their Western counterparts, often portrayed as vicious and violent, Chinese dragons are seen as benevolent and protective creatures that bring rain and control floods, crucial aspects of agriculture in ancient China. Plus, they look really, really cool. #chinesedragon #chinesemythology #mythology

Great content! 6:50 a small mistake though, the 5 clawed dragon is reserved for the imperial family. 4 clawed and 3 clawed ones are used in royal family and lower tier nobles e.g. the ones in Korea, Japan, Ryukyu and princes in China and those countries
Basically only the emperor have the right to use 5 clawed dragon on his clothes and things that represents him.

03:20 Dragons certainly DO exist; though not typically among our three spacial dimensions.
A good thing to keep in mind is the following adage:
"Absence of evidence does not equal evidence of absence"

Peace, 🙏

Personally I have no central belief with dragons in my various stories. Generally speaking I draw them as either western or eastern varieties; but also in the more abstract like quasi-elementals.
As I have brought it up before... The First Dragon female (do not remember the name I gave her) is styled after the luck dragon in never ending story combined with the world snake of Norse mythology and Bahamat from Final Fantasy 7. Long bodied but with body bulk and the dog like face. Going for intimidating build but sweet heart temperment.She resides on the dark side of the moon because she tired of people and Gods harassing her and the treasure. She left her treasure to be at peace in space. Master of magic of all kinds and having knowledge of most everything science like because shecan hear that well and remember perfectly; I always saw her color as more like an Oil spill; Black with rainbow sheen in the right light. She remains entangible and invisible where she sleeps. She being a first of a race Can't die period. if it was not for her self regen she'd be a mangled mess by now from all the fights she has endured. Unfortunately she will out live the universe since she can't die. Her first mate the male Unslayable of her race ventured out into the cosmose never to return. he is attempting to see everything and learn everything so he became a true adventurer to parts unknown. Eternity is a long time so paths will recross... until then no more dragons can be born.
Never thought of him before; so glad to think of it now.

Why couldn’t there be a proper story of a dragon or an entire races of these beings as characters and not typical monsters? I really want to see that.

Dragons do exist and yes they come with supernatural powers as we call them Inkanyamba in South Africa. Dragons are spiritual beings created by God to govern the waters of this earth from the sea to the waters above. they can grant a similar gift to humans to communicate with them.

DURING THE EARLY AGE OF CHINA. WHEN THE CHINESE PEOPLE DISCOVERED SOME BONE FOSSILS OF THE DINOSAUR, THE CHINESE THOUGH THIS BONE MAY BE THE GIANT MONSTERS AND THEY CALL THEM, DRAGON

Dragons are not literal Serpents. The serpent creature, the way we depict dragons, are more like a family crest or clan symbol.
In reality, they were physicaly humanoid in apperance, but they had elongated skulls and possesed advanced technology.

The Sumarian gods Enki and Enlil, imediatley remind me of the Coiling and Celestial Dragons, respectivley.

Or Velez and Perun, the Slavic gods who reside in the waters and the sky respectively.
I can go on and on with greek gods, hindu, ect.
But also let me point out the Serpent god of South America, also not a literal Dragon;
Rather a humanoid, teacher and civilizer.

Dragons are still big news in recent years, think theyre calling them UAP's nowadays

I can go along with the theory that dragons are leftover dinosaurs that were on their way to being extinct for whatever reason & around the same time frame.. humans were building their intelligence 💯.. dragon was their word 4 dinosaur 🤷🏾‍♂️

This is from a book series about a girl and her dragon guardian based on "mystical" ancient China. So not sure if it is part of the original myth or not with dragons.
But one fact brought up in that story (only read book 1) is that Centipedes are a serious threat to dragons. Apparently they like to crawl into Dragons ears and eat a dragons brain.
Talk about Savage...
If that is part of the original stories and not made up by that Author that's pretty horrifying to imagine.
I cannot for the life of me remember that book or series title. Just that it had dragons and Chinese Necromancers in it.

If the dragon didn't exist in real life, then how could the pictures depicting stories in ancient texts have been found ?! 🤔
