i have a small world

Dragons are so sacred in people's hearts until now, and there are actually religious reasons for this!
Taoism is China's native religion. It was formed on the basis of primitive religions. It is a religion that integrates witchcraft, nature worship, animal worship, and immortal alchemy in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and it is theorized and systematized.Vertex Fiction,
Early Taoists realized that dragons came from snakes. "Huang Bai Pian" states: "Snakes become dragons, and they are no different from self-born ones. However, the reason for its origin is all caused by nature."

During the reign of Emperor Shun of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Daoling advocated the Five Dou of Rice Dao, with Laozi as the leader and "Five Thousand Essays of Laozi" as the main classic, gradually forming a man-made religious form with teachings, dogmas, and canons.

Since the beginning of its formation, Taoism has had an indissoluble bond with dragon worship.In the pre-Qin period, the beliefs of riding a dragon to circumnavigate the world, ride a dragon to ascend to heaven, and use dragons to communicate with heaven and man were all inherited by Taoism.

The descendants of Zhang Daoling, the founder of Long Taoism, all inherited their careers, and they were all called "Tianshi", and the messenger said that they were destined to be dragons.It is said that the name of the third-generation celestial master is Lu, and it is said that he has ten sons named 'Zhang's Ten Dragons'.

There is another legend that: Zhang Lu's daughter was washing clothes at the foot of the mountain, and suddenly a white mist surrounded her, so she felt ashamed that she was pregnant out of wedlock, and committed suicide.Before he died, he left a last word that he must be dissected to see what was in his belly.As a result, there were two twin dragons in the belly, and the maid put them into Hanshui.

Many subsequent representatives of Taoism were said to have a mysterious relationship with dragons. For example, Tao Hongjing, a representative of Taoism in the Southern Dynasties, was said to be born of his mother dreaming of a dragon, and he was a dragon species.

Ming Dong Qichang's "Jiehuan Yuan Gong Xing Zhang": "When Ji Gong (Yuan Keli) came from, his way is especially in Longhai. I want to hear the wind festival, and I hope it will show up at the right time. In response to the Holy Lord's intention to seek talents, the Duke will not wait. !"

The most important role of the dragon in Taoism is to help Taoists go to heaven and earth.Communicate with ghosts and gods.The dragon is considered to be one of the 'three sedan chairs'.The "three sedan chairs" referred to here, one is the dragon sedan chair, the other is the tiger sedan chair, and the third is the deer sedan chair. The Taoist three sedan chairs are mainly used as a riding tool for them to go to heaven and earth.

Mr. Zhang-Guang-Zhi thinks: "The owner of Pu-Yang Tomb No. 45 is a primitive Taoist priest or wizard in Yangshao culture society, and the dragon, tiger and deer made of clam shells are the ones he can summon and use. The artistic image of the three sedan chairs. '

He connected clamshell dragons, tigers, and deer with the three sedan chairs of ancient primitive Taoism, and believed that the two had a relationship of origin.

Legend has it that celestial masters and true emperors with magical powers can also summon and drive dragons.

"Miscellaneous Zu of Youyang"."Strange Art" said: In a landlord named Yun'an, there are fifteen miles of dangerous shoals by the river, and the boats are pulled by people if they are not pulled.Can't pass.Zhai Qianyou, the celestial master of the thin generation, recited the labors of business travel, built an altar and summoned a group of dragons, a total of 14, all of which turned into old people.Zhai Tianshi asked them to flatten the dangerous shoal so that the boat could sail, and the dragons led the way.

Overnight, the wind and thunder struck, and the priests ordered it to come.Three days later.Then a woman came, who turned out to be a female dragon.

It is easy to argue that all those who cross this river by boat are wealthy businessmen who stretch their fibers.They are all poor people in Yun'an, and they have always lived on stretching.If the dangerous shoal is gone, boats and boats can pass unimpeded.What do they live on?It is better to have dangerous beaches to support the trackers than to use the boats to secure wealthy businessmen.

After hearing this, Zhai Tianshi nodded repeatedly.So he summoned all the dragons to restore everything to the original state.

It's not just Taoism making a fuss about Long Da for its own benefit.The same goes for Buddhism!
In the Buddhist scriptures, there are many names of the Dragon King nagaraja. The dragon in Buddhism should be a cobra instead of the traditional Chinese dragon. The fourth is the Dragon King Hexiuji, the fifth is the Dragon King Deyijia, the sixth is the Dragon King Anavadado, the seventh is the Dragon King Manas, and the eighth is the Dragon King Fuboluo.

The Dragon King belief in China arose with the rise of Buddhism, but it is quite different from the Dragon King in Indian Buddhism.It can be said that China's Dragon King is a product of Buddhism and Taoism.Taoism introduced Buddhist dragon kings and transformed them to form its own system of dragon kings, called the Dragon Kings of the Heavens, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, and the Dragon Kings of the Five Directions.Concrete example:
The "Dragon Kings" in "Taishang Dongyuan Shenmantra" lists the "Five Emperors and Dragon Kings" distinguished by azimuth, the "Four Seas Dragon Kings" distinguished by oceans, the names of 54 dragon kings and 62 gods distinguished by heaven, earth and everything. Dragon King name;

The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas in "Journey to the West" (Ao Guang of the East China Sea, Ao Qin of the West Sea, Ao Run of the South China Sea, and Ao Shun of the North Sea);

During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the Dragon Pond was ordered to be shrine, and an altar official was set up to offer sacrifices to the Dragon King with the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the rain master.

In the second year of Emperor Huizong's Grand View (1108), all the five dragons in the world were crowned kings, and the god of Qinglong was named King Guangren, the god of Chilong was named King Jiaze, the god of Huanglong was named King Fuying, the god of White Dragon was named King Yiji, and the god of Black Dragon was named King Yiji. For the king of Lingze.

In the second year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1863), the Canal Dragon God was named the "God of Yanxiong Showing and Dividing Water Dragon King", and the governor of the river channel was ordered to sacrifice in time.

The relationship between dragon and Buddhism is still controversial in academic circles. One says that the worship of "Dragon King" in China was introduced from India along with Buddhism.The reason is that in China's local dragon worship, there was no "Dragon King" worship.

Before the Han Dynasty, there were only "Dragon Gods", but no "Dragon King".After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Buddhist beliefs were introduced to China, and the belief in the Dragon King spread throughout China.

Another theory is that the dragon in Indian Buddhism was passed down from China, and after being recreated by the Indians, it became the "Dragon King".With the eastward spread of Buddhism, the worship of the Dragon King spread back to China.

At the same time, the introduction of Indian Buddhist art also had a great influence on the image of Chinese dragons.From the Han and Jin Dynasties to the Tang and Song Dynasties, the image of the dragon was obviously influenced by Buddhist art in the process of evolution.For example, the dragons on the murals of Dunhuang and the Northern Wei Dynasty are galloping, and the dragons in the Tang and Song Dynasties absorb the image of lions.The head is round and plump, with a mane on the back of the head and a nose similar to that of a lion.

The dragon on the mural in the tomb of Yaosheng in Xijiang, Ning, and Southern Tang not only resembles a lion's head, but also resembles a lion in its entire body.The dragon absorbs the image of the lion mainly to express its supernatural power and increase its supernatural powers.

Dragon, as the cohesion and accumulation of our unique Chinese culture, has been rooted and deeply hidden in the subconsciousness of each of us. Not only people's daily life, life, old age, sickness and death are almost all branded with dragon culture, but also dragon culture. perspective.The aesthetic consciousness of dragon culture has penetrated into all fields and aspects of our society and culture.

Dragon, in China, is connected with everything in the world.

Dragon is a symbol of power, nobility and honor in Chinese traditional culture.Another sign of luck and success.

The reason why the dragon has such cultural symbolic significance has a lot to do with the incomparable supernatural powers of the dragon in the sky, riding the clouds, chasing the waves in the sea, and calling the wind and rain in the world.But more importantly, because the dragon has been the "exclusive patent" of Chinese slaves and the supreme ruler of feudal society for thousands of years, it is synonymous with imperial power. "Dragon Body" The clothes they wear are called "Dragon Robes", the chairs they sit on are called "Dragon Chairs", and the cars and boats they take are called "Dragon Chariots" and "Dragon Boats". Crowned with the word "Dragon" to show the privilege of aloof.

The history of linking dragons with imperial power is also very long.It started from the time of the Yellow Emperor.

In the age of legend, the Yellow Emperor, who was of the blood of the dragon, once went around to observe the people's sentiments.He asked people to mine the copper in Shoushan, and then transported it to the foot of Jingshan to cast a tripod to commemorate his brilliant victory in the war against Chiyou.

After a period of time, the tripod was finally cast, and the Yellow Emperor held a celebration ceremony in Jingshan to celebrate the casting of the giant tripod.

Not only gods from all walks of life, but also people from all directions were invited to the ceremony. Everyone wanted to see what the tripod cast by the Yellow Emperor would look like.

When the time comes, probably the emperor himself will unveil it. A copper tripod with a height of more than three feet and a mouth as big as a vat is presented in front of gods and people with dazzling golden light.Everyone was envious, and they stepped forward to take a closer look, and saw a vigorous dragon shuttled in a cloud of auspicious clouds engraved on the body of the tripod, surrounded by ghosts and gods from all directions and various rare birds and animals.It can be said to be in various poses and with different expressions, lifelike.

Just when all the gods were admiring the huge tripod and the patterns on it with reverence, suddenly the sky was covered with dense clouds.Blocking the sun, the sky quickly darkened.Everyone thought it was going to rain, and recognized a golden light piercing the thick clouds.A divine dragon in golden armor came through the clouds, its tail and lower body resting in the clouds, its head resting on the tripod, and its long beard hung down to the ground along the tripod's feet.Huangdi understood that he had fulfilled his mission in the world, and the heaven sent a dragon to pick him up, so he jumped on the back of the dragon and flew back to the heaven.

The people in the world were reluctant to let a virtuous and wise monarch like the Yellow Emperor go back. Everyone pulled the dragon's beard and refused to let him go. As a result, many dragon beards were torn off, and the Yellow Emperor and Shenlong still left.

It is said that when the dragon's whiskers fell on the ground, many small and slender grasses were born. People later called this grass "dragon's whiskers".

Most of the famous monarchs in the legendary era have an inexplicable and unrecognizable relationship with dragons.When Yao was in power, there was a great famine in the world, floods everywhere, in order to save the people, he ordered Gun to control the flood.

Gun stole the resting soil of the Emperor of Heaven, and tried to control the water by "blocking", but he was killed by the angry Emperor of Heaven in Yushan, and Zhulong happened to be the patron saint here.The landlord of Yushan couldn't see the sun, so he relied on a candle held in the mouth of the candle dragon for lighting all the year round, so Gun's body did not rot for three years.

Fearing that Gun would come back to life and seek revenge on himself, the Emperor of Heaven would not stop at nothing, so he sent a god named "Wu Dao", probably the "Sword and Axe Hand" in the sky, to spit Gun's corpse in the lower realm with a precious sword, When Wu Dao cut open Gun's belly, a horned dragon suddenly emerged from the inside, with a pair of sharp and sharp horns. It rolled and jumped a few times on the nearby hillside, and immediately became a big dragon. It was Gun. His son - Yu.

Strange to say, after Yu was born, Gun's body rolled down the Yuyuan and turned into a dragon that always "raised its beard and scales, and crossed the waves."

Yu inherited his father's will, finally conquered the flood, and won the admiration of all the people. Later, the old Shun followed the people's will and abdicated the throne to Yu, and Yu became the founding monarch of the Xia Dynasty. One of the historical basis of "Son of Heaven".

Another cultural symbolic meaning of the dragon is that it is outstanding and extraordinary.The dragon is a god, comparable to extraordinary people, so people often refer to those who have noble ambitions, good behavior, great ability, promise and achievements as "dragons".

Back then when Zhuge Liang and Ge Kongming were working on the farm in Nanyang and hadn’t yet come out of their huts, he compared himself to Guan Zhongleyi, who was named Mr. Wolong, which meant that he had three ambitions and no talents.

In Chinese, dragon and worm are relative, what is worm, snake is also.Snakes, also known as long worms, can be seen everywhere, of various types, and are commonplace.Not surprising, not expensive.

'Mixed dragons and snakes' means that good things are mixed with bad things.It's hard to tell.This is a phenomenon that cannot be explained biologically-the prototype of the dragon, or the basic physiological animal of the dragon is the snake.Not only are dragons and snakes brothers, they are at least of the same clan (snakes are also nicknamed "dragons"), but once dragons separate from snakes, they don't pay any attention to snakes. It is necessary to 'kill' the snake.

The most typical story is the story of Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, who killed the white snake. It is said that Liu Bang's mother, Liu Yumeng, had intercourse with a dragon, conceived and gave birth to Liu Bang. He had little ambition.Once on a field trip, when a big python blocked the way, he immediately swung his sword to kill the snake, ripped its abdomen to extract its guts, and it was passed on as a good story, and people at the time thought it was good.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, when the world was in chaos, Liu Bang took the opportunity to raise troops in Peixian County, wiped out the heroes, and established the Han Empire.It has achieved the 400-year-old Liu family's foundation in the Han Dynasty.

The dragon also symbolizes being outstanding and extraordinary. In ancient times, those sages and high scholars were also called "dragons".

According to legend, when Confucius went to see Li Dan, the founder of Taoism, he did not speak a word for three days after returning, and his disciples were very surprised.Ask him: "Mr. met Li Dan, how did you teach him?" '

Confucius said: "What I saw was a dragon that changed infinitely along the yin and yang, and I was speechless."How could he be taught! 'It means that all words are superfluous, Lao Dan is the dragon among people.A rare Daxian.

In addition, Zhuge Kongming was called 'Mr. Wolong' when he was not debuting.Cai Yong, a doctor in the Eastern Han Dynasty, was drunk by the side of the road after drinking a hundred catties. Everyone called him "Drunken Dragon".

Therefore, anyone who is virtuous, talented, or well-crafted, or is an honest official, or has outstanding behavior can be compared to a 'dragon'.

As the saying goes, "Looking for a child to become a dragon" does not mean that one wants one's child to become a monster with a head and scales, and a dragon that can't see its head and tail.

Among the new nursery rhymes that have become popular in recent years, one is <<100 points is a dragon>>, which also means this.

In addition, we often hear news about the "Dragon and Tiger List" on radio, TV, newspapers and magazines. What is the "Dragon and Tiger List"? <<New Book of Tang? Biography of Ouyang Zhan>> said that when Ouyang Zhan became a Jinshi, he was on the same list with Han Yu, Li Guan, Wang Ya, Cui Qun and other famous people in the world. It was called "Dragon and Tiger List" at that time, which means celebrities Superstars and superstars gather here, and the "dragon" here reflects the winners.

The pattern of "dragon and phoenix matching" has been widely circulated since the Tang Dynasty.It not only symbolizes the authority of the emperor and the empress, but also symbolizes the happy union between all human husbands and wives, and it can also symbolize the harmony of Yin and Yang between spiritual and material in all the world.

It can be said that the dragon and phoenix pattern is the most representative image symbol of the Chinese nation and a wonderful artistic image.

Although the dragon and phoenix in oracle bone inscriptions have no shape, how can it be seen that the dragon is a spiritual insect that bends and stretches according to the time, and the phoenix is ​​a gorgeous long-tailed spiritual bird.On the ancient bronze ware, the image of the dragon shows the overall effect of ferocious, mysterious and dignified.

By the Han Dynasty, it had seized the heavy surface, unrestrained and powerful arcs, and delicate points to form the main theme of large structure and great momentum, breaking through the shackles of the mysterious and bizarre atmosphere.

In the Tang Dynasty, it was endowed with a gentle and gentle human character, forming a rich, graceful and vigorous style.

From the Song Yuan to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the style of extravagance was emphasized, and the fine workmanship turned to the cumbersome stacking. The intervening dragon and phoenix patterns have always maintained a simple, clear, concise, and vivid style, with a strong sense of life.

In practical applications, the dragon has always represented a kind of authority or power, and its divinity is increasing day by day.

Each part of the dragon has a specific meaning: the protruding forehead represents wisdom and wisdom; It symbolizes flexibility; horse teeth symbolize hard work and kindness.

The cloud dragon in front of the Tian-an-men Shihuabiao, the mountain-Dongqu-fu Confucius Temple Panyunlong stone pillar, and the ancient palace-dragon bed are all symbols of imperial power in history, but the phoenix bird is more secular and humane. , less divine.

As the old saying goes, "there is a phoenix coming to the instrument" and "the phoenix is ​​flying", this ideal spirit bird has always been regarded as the embodiment of auspicious happiness, and it also symbolizes perfect love.

The theme of 'Dragon and Phoenix Prosperity' is more common in court art, with the dragon representing the emperor and the phoenix as a symbol of female concubines.

Today, the pattern of dragon and phoenix has been recombined with the enthusiasm of tens of millions of people for artistic creation, and has gained infinite artistic life in the fields of architecture, sculpture, painting and arts and crafts.

The outstanding performance of drawing dragon patterns is the emperor's "dragon robe", which is bright yellow in color, and the leader is all embroidered with azure green pieces and gold.Embroidered inscription Jinlong Nine, interspersed with five-color clouds.There is one dragon at the front and back of the collar, and one dragon at the left and right and at the lapels.There is one dragon at the end of the sleeve, and the eight-treasure standing water skirt on the lower panel is left and right.The dragon robe is the supreme garment, which is finely made and inspected for workmanship.

For example, the production of dragon robes in the Qing Dynasty was precisely designed by the first-class craftsmen of the Ruyi Pavilion of the Qing Palace at that time, and the patterns were made. After the emperor personally approved and approved it, he sent a messenger to Nanjing or Suzhou and Hangzhou to supervise the production.

Sometimes a piece of robe material takes 190 days of work, and it is a special robe.It is also necessary to use peacock tail hair to twist thread, spread it all over the floor, and use thin thread to cross the border, and then string it with big pearls made of rice material, embroidering dragon and phoenix or group flower patterns.It takes a lot of work and extravagant materials, which are appalling.

In ancient times, there were also dragon flags with dragon patterns drawn on them.Dragon flags have existed since the Zhou Dynasty, and there were as many as 12 kinds of dragon flags in the Song Dynasty, such as the Yellow Dragon Flag and the Qinglong Flag.

Although there are many types of dragon flags.However, the patterns of all the dragon flags are roughly similar. They are all blue and yellow, with colorful footsteps between red flames, and images of dragons of various shapes are painted on them.

For example, the Panlong Xizhu flag is a kind of dragon flag.There is a pattern of a yellow dragon carrying a river map on its back, so it is also called the "Huanglong negative map flag".

Sui Yang Emperor Sui Yang also built "Dragon Boat" and "Dragon Boat Fleet" for his extravagant, flashy and recreational needs.Its 'Dragon Boat' construction and furnishings are extremely luxurious and inspected.

The 'Dragon Tail Inkstone' named after 'Dragon'.It is a treasure among She inkstones, because it is made of dragon tail stone from Wuyuan.Hence the name.

Its inkstone is rigid but soft, moist and clean.Touching it is like skin, rubbing it without sound, the color is like jade, and the texture is brilliant, which provides a broad room for inkstone workers to apply their skills according to their materials.

According to the different shapes, colors and patterns of the stone materials, the inkstone workers carefully designed and carved them deliberately to make square inkstones and round inkstones with well-proportioned decorations, tall and straight knives, and exquisite carvings.

The decoration of dragon patterns on clothing has a long history, but for a long time it was only a special product for the royal relatives, and most of them were monopolized by the emperor, dragon sons, and dragon grandchildren.

According to legend, the Yellow Emperor believed that dragons had infinite changes and great powers. He liked the appearance of dragons very much, so he asked his minister Shi Huang to draw images of dragons on his clothes and paint them with colorful colors. This is the first "dragon robe" in Chinese history. '.

Because the emperor called himself or was considered to be the 'True Dragon Son of Heaven', the dragon was an indispensable symbol in his family: the emperor wore a dragon crown - a hat bordered with a double dragon pattern; he wore a dragon robe - front and back There is a raptor coiled into a ball on each chest, mixed with clouds; the waist is tied with a dragon belt - a belt with dragon as the main pattern, and dragon and phoenix jade pendants...

These we have seen with our own eyes in museums, in imperial tombs, and in folk art.

As for the things used by the emperor, they are mostly related to dragons: dragon tables, dragon chairs, dragon beds, dragon boats, dragon chariots, etc. When the emperor is uncomfortable, he is called "dragon body is not safe", and when the emperor is angry, he is called "longyan is furious". The emperor's straight steps also have a unique wound, which is called "dragon and tiger steps".

Since it is a patent of the royal family, other people naturally cannot easily get involved.

There was such an interesting incident when Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty presented it as a gift, so that there were dragon robes and boa robes later.

During the Zhengde period, King Annan came to Beijing to pay tribute. Ming Yingzong saw that he was sincere and commendable. When he was happy, he said that he would give him a dragon robe. The dragon robe symbolizes the country. How can he give it away easily?But there is no joke in Jundi, what to do if the words spoken and the water splashed out cannot be recovered?After discussing for a long time, the ministers came up with a workaround to get the best of both worlds—subtract one claw from the dragon on the dragon robe, and turn it into four claws, with three claws forward and one claw behind. The robe is almost the same as the speech, in fact it is no longer a dragon, its five claws are that of a dragon, and its four claws are that of a python.An-nan got a 'fake product' and went back home happily.

Later, the emperor turned his back on the python robes and gave them to the closest and most powerful ministers as rewards. All the important officials who wore the python robes were proud of them; They looked down on them, so the audience commonly referred to the people who did chores, played flags, and yelled on the stage as "playing tricks", which meant that they had no real skills and were just pretending to be a toast.

Interestingly, while the ordinary people opposed the imperial power, they also paid great attention to depriving the dragon of the royal patent right. According to historical records, by the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, people's uprisings played out scripture flags and wore self-made dragon dragons. robe;
In the Song Dynasty, the Liao, Xia, Jin, and later Mongolian Yuan, which fought against the two Songs, absorbed the Han culture of the Central Plains, and the costumes of their leaders were mostly decorated with dragons;

What's more interesting is that in "Water Margin", there is a green forest hero named Shi Jin, nicknamed "Nine Dragons". According to legend, nine dragons are tattooed on his body with ink lines.

Most people in the body have the subconsciousness to show off this part.So 'patterned dragon' is also a part of 'clothes'.

In ancient Chinese myths and legends, both the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor are 'sons of the dragon'.The descendants of Yan and Huang are naturally the 'descendants of the dragon'.In the myths and legends of ethnic minorities.There are also many stories about the ancestors being dragons. The most typical one is the story about the ancestors of the Ailao people that has been widely circulated since the Han Dynasty:
Once upon a time.There lived a girl named Sha Yi at the foot of Mount Ailao. Once she was washing clothes by the river, and saw a fish swimming around. He became playful and jumped into the river to catch it. He accidentally floated down from the upper reaches of the quilt. A piece of wood hit it, and she became pregnant shortly after returning home, and later gave birth to 10 sons in one birth.

The children gradually grew up under her care, and this day I took the children to play in the river.Suddenly a dragon jumped out of the water and asked her: "Are they the children you gave birth to me?" '

Sha Yi nodded and told the children to come over and meet their father.The children were scared away by the strange appearance of the dragon. Only the youngest child was not afraid of it, but curiously touched its horns, pulled its whiskers, and finally sat on the dragon's back. The dragon liked him very much. , stick out your tongue to lick.

Sha Yi mistakenly thought that the dragon wanted to eat him.Anxiously, he yelled for the child on Long's back. Ailao's back pronunciation was near nine, and sitting pronunciation was near long. Long thought it was the child's name.Just call him Jiulong.

Later, the ten brothers of Jiulong married the ten sisters in Houshan as their wives, and they prospered.They formed a clan of their own, and Jiulong was promoted to be the patriarch.

Dragons are so noble.Strong, powerful and awesome.As the descendants of the dragon, we should also have noble qualities and a strong heart.

Mencius in the Warring States Period had a few good sayings: "Wealth and honor cannot be promiscuous, poverty and lowliness cannot be moved, and power cannot be subdued. This is called a real man." It means that high-ranking officials and rich salary cannot be bribed, poverty and hardship cannot be tortured, and violence and force cannot be threatened. , This is the so-called real man.All kinds of behaviors of a man show heroism, which we call backbone today.

Our country has gone through a long period of slave society and feudal society, and there are many such backbone people in every era. We are the descendants of these backbone people, and we are a nation with a fine revolutionary tradition.

Of course, different societies and different classes have different specific meanings of backbone, which must be clearly understood.

However, as far as the principle of unswervingly serving the progressive cause of the time is concerned, the many solid and moving deeds of our ancestors, as well as their positive educational significance, are worth learning.

At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Lin'an, the capital, was invaded by the Yuan army. Prime Minister Wen Tianxiang organized armed forces to resist resolutely. After being captured in failure, the Yuan Dynasty persuaded him to surrender. Take loyalty to history." It means that people are always going to die, and it depends on how to die, whether to die in humiliation, or die for the interests of the nation?He chose the latter, wanting to record this piece of loyalty in history.

Wen Tianxiang was imprisoned in a dank dungeon in Beijing and suffered all kinds of torture. The Yuan Dynasty sent people to persuade him many times that as long as he surrendered, he could become a high official, but he firmly refused and was finally killed in 1282 AD.

The few words Mencius said were reflected in Wen Tianxiang.The famous "Song of Righteous Qi" written by him praised the heroism of the ancient people with backbone, and resisted oppression with his own life, calling on the people to continue to resist.

Another story is that in ancient times, there was a poor man who was dying of hunger. Someone threw him a bowl of rice and said, "Hey, come and eat!" (Hey, come and eat!) If you don't eat this bowl of rice, you will starve to death later.

The story of not eating food that comes from you is very famous. It has been told for thousands of years, and it is also of positive significance.

The man put on a face of a philanthropist and yelled, "Hey, come eat!" The taste is not pleasant.

After eating this bowl of rice, what about the second step?Obviously, he will not give charity in vain, and he will do things for him after eating his food.

That poor man has a backbone: look at your face and look, he would rather starve to death than eat your food.

Do not eat the food that comes from you, which shows the backbone of the Chinese people.

Another example is that the democracy fighter Wen-yi-duo was shot dead by the KMT on July 1946, 7.Before that, his friends got the news that he was going to be assassinated and advised him to hide temporarily, but he didn't care, he worked as usual and worked harder.

Knowing that the enemy was going to kill him, he yelled out a few minutes before he was killed, denouncing the state-min-party-special-secretaries, pointing out that their days would not be long.People's democracy must win.

Chairman Mao pointed out in the article "Farewell, Stu-Lei-Den": "Many people who used to be liberals or democratic individualists. The reactionary faction stood up in front of them. Wen-yi-duo rose up against the crime, and raged at the Kuomintang's pistol. I would rather fall down than surrender." Highly praised him for showing the heroism of our nation .

Although these words of Mencius were said more than 2000 years ago, they still have positive meanings until now.

The ancients had such backbones, so we, as modern people, should have more backbones.

As the descendants of the dragon, we have no reason not to be a Chinese with backbone!
Chinese people have backbone!
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
One sentence 'We are all Chinese.The words "they are all descendants of the dragon" made Xu Chang immediately make up his mind. After he decided to go back, he would hand over the gold mine to the warrior army.

Both myself and the warrior team are Chinese, and they are both descendants of the dragon. They should have stood aside. If I really handed over the gold mine to others, then even if I got countless money, my heart would be tormented Endless!
"Xiaojie, thanks to you this time, if it weren't for you, my elder brother would have made a mistake this time. Money is important, but money is not the most important thing. If I betrayed myself for money, then my whole life will be completely ruined." It's over, I'm not the original me. Xiaojie, thank you!" Xu Chang thanked Xu Jie very solemnly.If it weren't for Xu Jie's persuasion, Xu Chang would definitely have a very difficult life in the future.His soul will be condemned by conscience!
"Brother, we brothers are of one heart, and our benefits can cut through gold!"

"Well, if brothers are of one heart, their benefits can cut through gold!" Xu Chang and Xu Jie held each other's hand firmly, their eyes full of brotherly friendship.

On the other side of the bonfire, a play of brothers working together was being staged, but on the other side of the bonfire, in a dark corner, a gloomy gaze appeared, and the owner of this gloomy gaze was Leng Xin.

"Hey..., brothers are of one heart, and their benefits can cut through gold? Huh, I will grant your wish soon, and I will send you two brothers to hell at the same time. Xu Chang, this time I will see how you die!" Leng Xin said He secretly sneered in his heart, for the two brothers Xu Chang and Xu Jie, Leng Xin wanted to get rid of them quickly.

Originally, Leng Xin didn't dare to provoke the two brothers Xu Chang and Xu Jie. He planned not to come out after returning to Yushi District. At least until he confirmed that he had the power to protect himself, Leng Xin would not leave the safety of Yushi District. district.

Leng Xin has lost his martial arts now, and he is completely an ordinary person, while brothers Xu Chang and Xu Jie are still quasi-martialists. Leng Xin is also very clear in his heart how deep the hatred between himself and Xu Chang and Xu Jie is. Xin has a 'Desert Eagle' in his hand, so Xu Chang and Xu Jie will not fight him to the death. However, if any of the two brothers Xu Chang and Xu Jie advances to the second-level realm of Houtian, at that time, it will be his own. end.

Without the support of the 'Desert Eagle', what would Leng Xin use to protect himself.Therefore, Leng Xin actually made up his mind to go back, so he would stay in the safe area of ​​Yushi District and not come out, or go back to the earth directly to hide his determination. However, what Leng Xin didn't expect was that he got rid of The opportunity for the two brothers Xu Chang and Xu Jie appeared again.

Just now Leng Xin was chased away by people like Xu Chang and Hou Zi from the place where he could dig the dog's head gold. Leng Xin was really angry at that time. For a moment, Leng Xin wanted to pull out the 'Desert Eagle', but, After considering the consequences of pulling out the 'Desert Eagle', Leng Xin suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, turned and left.

At that time, Leng Xin turned around and left, not only because of the threat from the two brothers Xu Chang and Xu Jie, but also because Leng Xin thought in his heart that if you have dog head gold here, maybe there will be dog head gold in other places.

With this in mind, Leng Xin turned around and left. You don’t allow me to dig dog’s head gold here, so go to another place by yourself. I don’t believe that I won’t be able to dig it.

With yearning for the dog's head gold, Leng Xin found a place far away from people like Xuchang, and started digging up the dog's head gold.Leng Xin chose to stay away from people like Xu Chang, in fact, to ensure the safety of the dog's head gold he dug up.

However, the development of the matter did not develop as Leng Xin expected. Leng Xin dug for a full two hours. In the end, let alone a piece of gold, he did not dig up even a grain of gold. Throwing the branch in his hand to the distance, Leng Xin was venting the anger in his heart.

However, soon, Leng Xin regretted it, because Leng Xin didn't give up in his heart, and he still wanted to dig out the dog's head gold or something, but now he has thrown away the tools for digging up the dog's head gold, so, now Leng Xin didn't have any tools in his hands that could dig out the dog's head gold.

When he got here, Leng Xin wished he could slap himself a few times, he was really asking for trouble.

In the end, Leng Xin had no choice but to turn around and go into the woods. He had to make himself a tool for digging up dog's head gold. To Leng Xin's surprise, it was his actions that made him discover something extraordinary.

When Leng Xin just walked into the woods, at this time, the sun was about to set, but the sun was still plenty, at least Leng Xin felt that the sun was still glaring, just when Leng Xin wanted to block the sun with his hands At that time, a golden light flashed across Leng Xin's eyes, making Leng Xin close his eyes involuntarily.

"Tmd, what sunshine, it's really dazzling, this dead sun, even you are playing tricks on me now!"

Leng Xin angrily picked up a stone and threw it in the direction of the sun. Then, Leng Xin turned around and walked into the woods with curses in his mouth.

Leng Xin is just upset in his heart now, he is not stupid, so it is enough for him to scold the sun, and he will not act like a fool, and just get angry with the sun like this.Set the air with the sun, such a thing, only a fool can do it.

However, soon, Leng Xin walked forward more and more slowly, and then, suddenly at a certain moment, Leng Xin turned around 360 degrees, the whole person seemed to be crazy, and ran towards the direction he just walked .

After he ran to a certain place, Leng Xin directly aimed his eyes in the direction of the sun...

The current Leng Xin really looks like a fool, because his eyes are not protected at all, and if he looks directly at the sun, what is he if he is not a fool!
However, Leng Xin didn't care about this, he still looked at the sun with his eyes unprotected, and soon, a smile appeared on Leng Xin's face, and as time passed, the smile on Leng Xin's face is more and more brilliant.

"Hahaha..., I finally found it, I finally found it, this is really an eye-opener, I, Leng Xin, can be considered lucky now, hahaha...!" Leng Xin looked like a lunatic Laughing, while running quickly towards the front, no matter how Leng Xin looks at it now, he looks like a lunatic.

"Hey..., how could this happen? Why is there no dog-head gold? I just saw a lot of golden light. Only gold can emit this kind of golden light. Why can't I find gold when I get close?" Leng Xin looked blankly at the huge rock in front of him. In front of this fast rock, Leng Xin had nothing to gain.

The reason why Leng Xin looked at the sun like a fool just now is actually because of the golden light that Leng Xin saw before.

As we all know, once a person looks at the sun, there will be no golden light in the eyes. At that time, the eyes will only feel a glare for a while, and then the eyes will turn black.

So how to explain the golden light that appeared in Leng Xin's eyes just now?I believe everyone already knows the answer. There will be a golden light in Leng Xin's eyes. It is because there is something emitting golden light in front of Leng Xin... (to be continued...)
