【推荐3】The year 2024 celebrates the Year of the Dragon. Among the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac (生肖), the dragon is the only one that is not real. Though it looks scary, Chinese people respect it and even see themselves as the “descendants (后代) of the dragon”.
Wen Yiduo (1899—1946), a well—known Chinese scholar (学者) of his time, said that the idea of a Chinese dragon formed gradually during tribal (部落的) wars. When a strong tribe that highly respected snakes beat other tribes, the tribe mixed the features of its enemies’ totem (图腾) animals with its own to create something truly strong.
Guo Dashun, an archaeologist (考古学家), believes that the idea of a dragon began to grow in northeastern China. There, in Fuxin city, Liaoning province, archaeologists found in 1982 what appeared to be a dragon made up of granite (花岗岩) pieces. Dating back to 6000 BC, it is the oldest craft (工艺品) that looks like a dragon.
In northeastern China, archaeologists also found many small jade (玉) dragons that date back to as early as 3500 BC.
“If you look really closely, they “look like” ... a newborn – be it a pig, a bear, or a deer ...” said Teng Shu—ping, a leading scholar from Taiwan who studies ancient Chinese jade.
These jade dragons, created by people whose society and art were still in the early time, show “a deep—felt surprise with the [changing] force of life,” she said. She said this is what gives the Chinese dragon its “heartbeat ”.
