Dragons give birth to nine sons, why aren't they all real dragons? After reading the dragon's wife, you will understand
The meaning of "dragon gave birth to nine sons" does not mean that the dragon gave birth to nine children, "nine" is often used in traditional Chinese culture to mean more, and it is inappropriate to literally arrange nine children for the dragon.
For the descendants of the dragon, there are different laws throughout the ages, and several of these narrow versions are relatively uncontroversial, such as the five sons of Jair, Fox, Fox, Kiss, and Pu Lao, which appear in each version.
The rest, such as the Prison Ox, the Mocking Wind, the Dumpling, the Negative Dump, the Gluttony, the Worm, the Pepper Diagram, the Cockroach, the Kirin, and the Pixiu, appear in each version.
However, because these dragons are all hybrids born of dragons and other creatures, they all look different, and they are not real dragons.
The exotic beasts in mythological stories usually have some symbols of good and evil, even dragons are good and bad, and naturally these dragons are somewhat "symbolized" on their bodies.
For example, the legendary third son of the dragon, Mocking Wind, is a representative of the Rui Beast.
According to the ancient book "Yuanjian Class Letter, Scales, and Dragon", among the many children of the dragon, the third child is named Mock Wind, which is the child born of the combination of a dragon and a bird, so Mock Wind is also the only dragon with wings.
Perhaps the maternal genes are too strong, and the mocking wind and the dragon don't look like each other, but more like a phoenix, the legendary mocking wind's eyes are shining with golden light, and the whole body is shining with gold-like brilliance, with purple-gold feathers on its wings, and it has a very gorgeous and beautiful tail feathers.
When I went sightseeing in the palace of the ancient emperor, I looked up and saw him on the eaves of the palace.
There is a story for you to listen to, about this mocking nature, love of freedom, love of adventure, especially love to fly to the bustling world, standing on a very high place, the vast and magnificent scenery in full view.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival of a certain year, the emperor of the human race held a moon-viewing banquet in the palace.
In the middle of the feast, the embers in the dining room were not extinguished, but were rekindled, because everyone ran to join in the fun, and for a time they did not notice the calamity.
There was oil and wine in the imperial dining room, and with the help of combustibles, the fire instantly became bigger, and when everyone found out, it was already a monstrous fire, and ordinary fire-extinguishing utensils could not be extinguished at all.
Fire! Get water! ”
The nobles had already gone down to a safe place under the escort, and the steward of the imperial dining room was so anxious that his eyes were red, and he couldn't wait to poke a hole in the sky and let the heavenly river fall down to extinguish the fire.
Adults quickly take shelter elsewhere, this fire is fierce, and it has connected two palaces. ”
There are still a few people trapped in my imperial dining room, hurry up and put out the fire! ”
The steward roared, took the ladle of water, poured it all over his body, and rushed into the fire to save the people.
My lord", everyone hurriedly hugged him, and shouted one after another: "The fire is monstrous, and if you go, you will be sent to death, you can't do it, you can't do it!" ”
The noisy sound woke up the mocking wind that happened to perch on the eaves, and he was naturally not afraid of the fire of the mortal world, and as a dragon, he didn't have to worry about the affairs of the mortal world.
But Mock Wind is kind-hearted, and it is really unbearable to see innocent lives being sent by this fire.
So he stood up from the eaves, revealed his true body, spread his wings and raised his head, and called out a downpour of wind and rain to extinguish the fire.
After that, in order to thank the benevolence and kindness of the mocking wind, and to pray for the peace of the family house and avoid disasters, the mocking wind will be placed on the eaves of the palace.
Because of its outstanding appearance, the whole palace is not rigid because of the mocking decoration, and it adds a sense of reverence and mystery while being majestic and vivid.
There is auspiciousness, there is naturally fierceness, and there are also first-class fierce and aggressive people in the dragon "nine", among which there is the most well-known fierce beast - Jianwei.
It is recorded in the "Sheng'an Outer Collection" that Jairus is the second son of the dragon and his mother is a jackal.
Compared to his younger brother Mock Feng, who is not at all like his biological father, Jair's appearance is still somewhat similar to that of a dragon, and his body is described in ancient books as looking like a leopard, but his head is the same as that of a dragon, and his eyes are vicious, as if he has been angry - with a sharp sword in his mouth, he is simply a gangster outlaw who is ready to fight at any time in mythological stories.
There is also a story for you about Jairus.
Because of her appearance, Jairus was not liked by her biological father, and she left home when she became an adult to make a living in the world.
On the way to make a living, Jianwei thought that although his body did not look like a dragon, he was a real dragon in terms of ambition, and he must make a career, and see what his father had to say!
I don't know how long it took for this Jianwei to start a business, and one day I met Zhou Wen Wang Jichang.
The Jianwei in Ji Chang's eyes looks weird, wearing tattered robes, and the road to entrepreneurship is difficult and long, and it has been very difficult these years, but the momentum of Jianwei is majestic and majestic, and at first glance it is not an ordinary man.
During the conversation, Jairus asked Ji Chang: "You don't look good, why?" ”
Ji Chang said: "I have a disease, I can't eat or sleep. ”
Hearing this, Jairus suddenly laughed and said, "Your illness is a disease, you just want to crusade against Yin Shang." ”
Can I fight if I want? ”
Ji Chang's expression was gloomy, and he said: "The king of Shang has already sent an edict to all the princes, saying that the Western Zhou Dynasty rebelled and let the world attack the Western Zhou Dynasty, and I can't protect myself." ”
How can you sit still and wait for death, King Wen will die with peace of mind", Jianwei asked angrily.
Ji Chang hesitated a little, and said slowly: "The Western Zhou Dynasty was originally a courtier of Yin Shang, if I resist, it would be against the way of the monarch and the minister, it is better to kill myself and let my son take my head to ask for guilt, so that at least I can keep the reputation of the loyal minister." ”
Pedantic to the extreme! ”
Jianwei let out several sneers, and said mockingly to Ji Chang: "People say that you are a gentleman with benevolence, righteousness and deeds, but today it seems that you are just a stubborn old guy." ”
Ji Chang was angry and wanted to leave, but he laughed again, and Ji Chang asked, "Why are you laughing again?" ”
Jianwei said: "The king of Shang sent troops to attack the Western Zhou Dynasty, and he was ready to send arrows, how could he stop the army because you died, you are wishful thinking, naïve and ridiculous." ”
These words woke up Ji Chang, and Ji Chang hurriedly asked, "What is the best plan?" ”
Jianxi's expression was awe-inspiring, and he said: "Now the king of Shang is tyrannical and unreasonable, if there is a brave army to resist, it will definitely get a response from the world, and talented and capable strange people will come to help you, and the army of the king of Shang is difficult to defeat such a beary wave." ”
"So you're stupid not to resist. ”
Later, Jairian guided Ji Chang to find Jiang Ziya, who had the talent to govern the country, and finally defeated the king of Shang and established the Zhou Dynasty.
However, Jairus did not accept King Wu of Zhou's separation, but said goodbye and continued to travel the world.
In order to thank Jairus for his kindness, King Wu of Zhou ordered someone to carve Jairus on a knife to take its brave and aggressive meaning.
Between positive and negative, there is always a part that is neither black nor white, unwilling to follow the common sense of the world to define life and self; Like people, there are people who actively work hard, there are people who do no evil, and there are more ...... who lie flat and stay alone in the glass world
Among the dragon "nine", there are also several such maverick dragons.
Let's talk about it first, the first social fear otaku in this mythical world - Longzi Jiaotu.
Legend has it that Jiaotu was born by the combination of a dragon and a mussel, and his appearance was very peculiar, like a snail in the sea, and he stayed in his shell all the year round, and he didn't want to go out to see this worldly desire at all.
Jiaotu doesn't welcome others into his shell.,Keep the shell closed.,It doesn't seem like there's any idea of making friends.,Bring it into the present.,Jiaotu is a standard deep social fear otaku.。
The second special one is the barrister in the "Nine Sons" - Raccoon.
Ancient books record that the mother of the raccoon is a tiger, so the shape of the fox is also very similar to a tiger, and the tiger head shape decoration on the yamen in ancient times is the carcoon carve.
This is going to talk about the lifelong hobby of the fox - fighting lawsuits!
That's right, this dragon likes to litigate, and he fights very well, he has almost no experience of losing a lawsuit, and he is fair and righteous, and he can't bear injustice, and often helps humans who have been wronged.
With such a hobby, he must be very eloquent and not inferior to Master Wukong, this guy may also be the brother who gives Jiaotu the most headaches, right?
The hobbies of the third dragon son are also somewhat unique - he likes meditation and fireworks.
It is recorded in the book that the appearance of the fox is the same as that of a lion, and some of the temperament is also the same as that of a lion, such as being lazy to move.
In addition to being lazy to move, he also likes smoke, and it is really a hobby that humans can't understand, the book says that he likes to sit in the smoke, so he generally stays on the incense burner of the temple, sits quietly, and watches the smoke slowly rise around him, which is the fox.
Despite all the disturbances in the world, I have lived quietly alone.
Later, the beasts decorated on the incense burner were all in the image of a fox.
If you are curious about the fox, it is better to go to the God of Wealth Temple to take a closer look at the little beast on the incense burner, the old temple of the moon does not have to go, the incense in that place is not very good recently, and the fox should not like to go there again.
After all, the legendary creatures, so there are some people's subjective conjectures in it, if from a scientific point of view, maybe there is reproductive isolation between the dragon and the mother of these dragons, no matter how many degrees of spring breeze, they can't produce mixed-race offspring.
In the final analysis, the fundamental reason why this "Dragon Nine Sons" are not like dragons is because their mother is not a dragon, so they are completely different from dragons in appearance and habits, and they are good at things they like and are good at.
There are also some inherent prejudices in this, and the situation of the mother and the child is fully reflected here.
Jair, who has always been considered a fierce beast, who would have thought that he would be the hero of King Wu and Zhou? The situation of judging people by appearance and origin has always existed now, and will always exist in ......the future
