First of all, we need to know about Shengjing Times. It took 38 years from1June, 906+1August1October (September 1st, the thirty-second year of Guangxu reign in Qing Dynasty) to its final publication in September, 944. This is a newspaper founded by Masao Nakajima, a Japanese newspaper. At that time, some important events in China were reported. It is widely known by everyone, or because it reported the Yingkou dragon falling incident.
We know that Japanese people worship dragon culture very much, even in the 2nd/kloc-0th century. There is a specimen in Zuiryuji, Japan, which is considered to be a real dragon specimen. Some netizens suggested that it would be clear to test its DNA. Of course, they don't test their DNA after deceiving themselves. From this, we can see that there may be some subjective and emotional deviations in Japanese newspapers' reports on the dragon-falling incident, which we should be clear about.
Next, let's continue to look at the specific process of this dragon-dropping incident. According to some records and the memories of the parties, the dragon falling incident happened twice, with an interval of less than two months.
1934 In early July, a live dragon was found in the upper reaches of Tianzhuangtai. Because it was hot and there was no rain, some monks set up tents for the dragon and prayed for rain. Every dragon carries water to wet it. In this way, in less than a week, after a heavy rain, the dragon disappeared.
At the beginning of August, 1934, people found it again. At first, people heard a huge cow-like sound and the sound of water boiling in the reeds. Finally, people dared to explore and found a strange creature, but by this time it was dead. The Shengjing Times reported the incident at this time. Finally, these bones were preserved in a school, but after the war, these "keels" magically disappeared.
It can be seen from the location of these two incidents that this mysterious creature is going to enter the sea along the Liaohe River, not the dragon! In fact, everything has passed for a long time, and there are few video materials to prove it. Of course, there are still parties, but after 70 or 80 years, it is mainly subjective, and some confessions are difficult to accurately describe the situation at that time.
Witness Xiao: I saw this dragon when I was nine years old. I am short, standing on a horse. My father supports me. I saw the dragon's eyes half closed, its tail rolled back and its claws in front.
Witnesses say that an event did happen, but it is difficult to confirm the real situation of this event, especially after 70 or 80 years. In the eyes of China people, dragons are auspicious totems. The image of the dragon has existed since human records, but no one has really seen it. They have always existed in legends. Modern science does not support the existence of dragons, because they have divorced from the characteristics of conventional species and can walk in the sky and ocean, which is unreasonable in modern science. If it really exists, it should remain in some fossils, but it is still a legend, and there has never been any physical evidence.
According to the conclusion given in Approaching Science, the dragon that fell in Yingkou is a huge marine creature-baleen whale. At that time, people hardly saw whales, a large marine creature, at close range.
