Mythological dragons
In this new section we are going to talk about the legendary dragons of the different mythologies that exist or have existed in the world.
We will start with Chinese Mythology, since this culture still gives great importance to dragons. Even in their festivals and traditions, dragons are still very present today.
In Chinese mythology dragons are revered for their characteristics and the mystical powers attributed to them. There are 9 types of dragons appear in the literature and classical art of this culture.
Today we are going to start with Tianlong.
We speak of a being that protected the habitat of the gods, taking care of their transfers, pulling carts. He lived in rivers, lakes and oceans, in addition to furrowing the skies. He was considered great, he was associated with rain, with attracting and representing all goodness, fruitful or fruitful and with all beneficence from heaven.
He was one of the four dragons defended by the Chinese cosmogonists, understood these as those who narrated or constructed the mythical stories about the origin of the world and of human beings from a process of creation or emanation.
They say that a celestial dragon came down from the sky to visit with the greatest enthusiasm a duke named Ye, the visit offered by the creature was due to the deep devotion that he apparently felt for dragons, however, at the time of the encounter, the man turned pale and ran terrified, leaving such love "in doubt".
It is said that in the rain rituals (6th century BC) it was animatedly represented in the company of dancers, even these traditions are still enjoyed in some Chinese communities with the purpose of attracting the good luck that comes from the highest.
And this is all for today, I hope you like the new section.
