Dragons have different images and meanings in cultures around the world. In traditional Chinese culture, dragons are regarded as auspicious creatures, representing power, dignity and happiness. In Western culture, dragons are often portrayed as ferocious monsters, representing evil and destruction.

Whether dragons exist or not has always been controversial in both the East and the West. However, in ancient times, people generally believed that dragons did exist and regarded them as one of the important elements in the creation myth. This belief has deeply influenced history, society and art, and has left many legends and stories about dragons.

Today, although science has proven that dragons do not exist in the real world, millions of people still firmly believe in their existence. This firm belief may come from personal intuition or experience, or it may be influenced by the mysterious image of dragons in history.

Under the influence of one of the oldest products of human imagination, the dragon, it remains vivid and awe-inspiring, and continues to inspire people's curiosity and desire to explore unknown things and supernatural powers.

As a mysterious creature, the dragon plays an important role in Eastern culture. It is not only a symbol of fighting against evil forces in people's hearts, but also represents the power and order of nature. In ancient times, dragons were regarded as supreme beings with extraordinary abilities and wisdom. As time went by, dragons gradually became a common image in various legends and stories, and their forms were also varied.

In Chinese culture, dragons are given many positive meanings and are associated with imperial power and authority. In other Eastern countries such as Japan and South Korea, dragons are also highly respected and have unique significance.

With the development of modern social science and technology and the changes in people's ideas, new interpretations and understandings of the mysterious dragon have also emerged. It is no longer simply regarded as a god or a devil. In today's world, it has become more used and expressed in artistic creation, commercial products and even sports.

In Eastern culture, the symbolic image of "dragon" not only carries ancient traditional beliefs and values, but also contains the spirit and aesthetic taste of the current era. It has profound historical connotations and practical significance.

As a mysterious creature, dragons have a long history in human culture. They not only exist in traditional Chinese culture, but also appear in myths and stories in many other countries and regions. From ancient times to the present, dragons have been regarded as symbols of special power and wisdom, and therefore occupy an important place in human imagination.

The image of dragons appeared as early as when humans began to draw or carve marks and images. These crude material manifestations show the worship and imagination of the dragon as a mysterious creature. Whether it is carved on wood or carved on stone, we can see the specific meaning that ancient people gave to the image of dragons.

These marks and images not only simply depict the appearance of dragons, but also turn them into symbols of the so-called reality visible to the spiritual eye through artistic techniques. It can be seen that dragons and humans share a rich and ancient imagination and present it to the world in various ways.

In the eyes of primitive people, natural phenomena are a mysterious and unpredictable existence. They face uncontrollable weather changes, sometimes sunny and sometimes stormy. They feel the alternating rhythm of life and death, decay and rebirth, which makes them feel awe and fear.

In addition to natural disasters, primitive people are also afraid of wild companions and wild beasts and ogres lurking in the jungle. The dry and hot environment in the desert also makes them terrified. When thunder and lightning struck, primitive people were even more terrified.

Darkness was even more terrifying to primitive people. In the dark night lived good and evil spirits. Without the support of modern technology, darkness gave primitive people endless sources of fear. All these made primitive people have a kind of awe of nature, and tried to explain and deal with these unknown forces in various ways.

Faced with unknown and therefore terrifying shapes and noises of the night, the howling of the wind, the awe of the sea, the flickering lights of the swamp and the disgusting miasma - all of which were evidence of creatures that the half-awake mind could not reach or understand - humans only knew one means of defense, that is, humble prayers and endless ransom payments.

The worship and awe of nature were universal. They believed that everything in nature had its mysterious power and meaning. Sunlight and water were regarded as the most important and friendly elements because they gave life and nourished everything. Rain, in particular, was considered gentle and nourishing, bringing harvest and vitality.

In primitive religions in Europe and Asia, people regarded fresh water as a vital resource and gave it sacred significance. Many benevolent spirits and major gods were associated with fresh water, and in these cultures, fresh water became a symbol or object of faith.

When we try to trace the origins of various organisms or concepts, we will inevitably return to the earliest sprouts of human philosophical thought. Ancient humans had a strong interest in the forces and phenomena of nature, and explained and understood the mysteries behind these phenomena through myths and legends.

In the Paleolithic Age, human thought and exploration spirit began to slowly sprout. They might observe the stars and try to understand the laws of nature; or observe animal behavior in the wild and try to gain survival skills from it. This curiosity and thirst for knowledge drove humans to explore, discover and learn continuously. As time went on, humans gradually got rid of simple instincts and began to use reasoning and logic to solve problems, and passed down these experiences. These ancient and precious traces of thought are still full of charm and inspiration today. They are the first footprints in the long history of our civilization and the source of our wisdom and courage.
