Congratulations to the Chinese New Year of the Dragon
There was a dragon in the ancient East, and its name was China. There was a group of people in the ancient East, and they were all descendants of dragons.
I grew up under the feet of the dragon, and when I grew up, I was the descendant of the dragon. Black eyes, black hair, yellow **, forever and forever the descendant of the dragon.
The year turns around, and the new era begins. In three days, we will usher in the Lunar New Year – the Year of the Dragon.
In Chinese culture, dragons have an important place and influence. As early as more than 8,000 years ago, the shape of a "dragon" appeared in the land of China; More than 3,000 years ago, the word "dragon" appeared in the oracle bone inscription. For thousands of years, the dragon has become a unique cultural treasure and historical accumulation of the Chinese nation, converging into a strong national cohesion and sense of identity.
Today, let us look at China's secrecy culture from the word "dragon".
Nine Dragon Wall: Hidden wall secrecy to protect the house
The dragon can enter the sea, spit out fog and clouds, and can also cause rain and springs, which is the supreme totem in Chinese culture and a symbol of ancient imperial power. In China's court architecture, you can see the dragon element decoration theme everywhere, and the "Nine Dragon Wall", as the "top stream", is an important window for people to understand ancient Chinese history and culture with its unique artistic design and profound cultural connotation.
The Nine Dragon Wall (collected by the Palace Museum) is carved with glazed bricks with nine giant dragons churning and jumping in the sea of clouds, symbolizing imperial power and the respect of the Son of Heaven.
In fact, the Nine Dragon Wall belongs to a kind of ancient building wall, and it was also called "hidden wall" (shadow wall) in ancient times. In ancient deep house compounds, a partition wall was often erected at the gate or just after entering the door to protect the privacy of the family and block the possibility of outsiders peeping into the space of the inner house. The screen wall located in the courtyard gate is "hidden", and the screen wall located outside the courtyard gate is the "wall".
Later, as the building process evolved, craftsmen began to explore more art decorations on the hidden walls. The hidden wall also entered the imperial court step by step, and finally produced the exquisite Nine Dragon Wall.
There are three famous nine dragon walls in China, which are in the Forbidden City in Beijing, Beihai Park and Datong in Shanxi.
According to CCTV News, the inspiration for the mascot image of the 2024 Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Dragon "Long Chenchen" claw of the main station is the Nine Dragon Wall.
Great power heavy weapon: flying dragon in the sky Yao China
Flying in the wind, going down to the sea to chase the waves, escaping without a trace, and controlling electricity, when the omnipotent "dragon" encounters a big country's heavy weapon, what kind of chemical reaction will it produce?
From the light of nuclear energy of "Hualong No. 1" to the deep-sea exploration of "Jiaolong"; From the "Kunlong" spreading its wings and flying, to the ice-breaking ......... of the "Snow Dragon".The mountain is not high, there are immortals, the water is not deep, and there are dragons. In our country, there are still many great powers with the name of "dragon", demonstrating the spiritual strength of the Chinese nation to forge ahead, move forward bravely and strive for self-improvement.
On January 31, the "2024 Jiachen Year of the Dragon Zodiac Special Exhibition" opened at the Shanghai Natural History Museum. The exhibition combines dragon elements with great power heavy weapons, and designs five technological dragon IP images. The picture shows the promotional video of the children's ** "Snow Dragon 2" scientific research ship.
Among them, there is also the famous "Dragon" series of fighters. At present, the most famous in the series is the J-20 codenamed "Weilong". Its siblings are the equally famous "Hidden Dragon" (J-16), "Thunder Dragon" (FC-1), "Raptor" (J-10) and "Yinglong" (J-11).
In 2022, the aviation industry released the naming of military aircraft series, and the "Dragon" series is a land-based fighter.
The ancients said that the sharp weapons of the country should not be shown. In the research and development process of major heavy equipment, confidentiality management constitutes an important part of the work. Many scientific research workers uphold the belief that "if you don't say anything, the motherland knows me", although they have done earth-shattering things, they are willing to be incognito.
In order to keep it strictly confidential, Song Wencong, the chief designer of the J-10, never told his parents and brothers his true occupation. One year, his younger brother Song Wenhong visited him, and he accidentally saw a few medical books in the bookcase, and when he returned, he said to his family: "My brother may have changed his career to become a dentist now!" It wasn't until later, when my country moderately declassified the J-10, that some newspapers and magazines began to call Song Wencong the "father of the J-10" in public reports, and the family suddenly realized: It turns out that in the past few decades, he has been developing aircraft!
At the scene of the first flight of the J-10, Song Wencong and test pilot Lei Qiang were in tears and excited.
