Once upon a time, there was a mother and son. The mother is ill in bed and her son is only a few years old. In order to make a living, the son can only mow the grass for the landlord's house and feed the cattle. At that time, many people raised cattle, and it was difficult to cut grass. My son walked a lot, but there was no grass in the basket. My son continued to cry. Suddenly, my son found a green grass growing on a grave. He jumped up happily, and the cut grass filled a basket. So, he and his mother had the first day's rations.
The next day, he went out to look for grass, but it was dark again and there was still no grass. My son came to the grave where the grass was mowed yesterday with hope, but it was covered with grass again. From then on, my son went to the grave to mow the grass every day, so that the mother and son survived.
The landlord's housekeeper is very strange. It is difficult for an adult to mow the grass in one day. How can a child cut such fresh grass every day? So the housekeeper followed the child one day and found his secret. The housekeeper took a hoe and uprooted the grass from the grave. The child can't mow the grass, and the mother and son will starve again. The child cried bitterly in front of the grave, and while crying, he dug the place dug by the housekeeper with a sickle. Suddenly, a transparent bead the size of a turtledove egg ran out. The child can only take this bead home sadly.
Mother knows the whole story. Afraid that the housekeeper would find this bead, she put it in a rice jar with only a few meters. Unexpectedly, the next day, my mother found the rice jar full. Mother tried several times and put the beads in the piggy bank. The next day, the piggy bank was full. Mother and son survived with this bead.
The landlord's housekeeper is strange again. Neither mother nor son works, how can they live well? So he peeked at them every day and finally found their secret. The housekeeper told the landlord the secret, and the landlord led people to force the mother and son to hand over the beads. The son hid the beads in his mouth and accidentally swallowed them.
My son is very uncomfortable and wants to drink water. He drank cans after cans and wanted to drink more. No choice, the mother had to let her son drink in the river. The son walked to the river and became a dragon with a head. The mother understood that her son ate the dragon ball and was going to become a dragon. Only when he said goodbye to his son with tears, his son knocked on his mother step by step, leaving 24 booths by the river. Finally, my son became Jackie Chan and swam to the sea.
Story 2:
During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a man in the State of Chu who called himself Ye Gong. Ye Gong often says to others, "I especially like dragons. How proud and auspicious the dragon is! " So when his home was decorated, craftsmen helped him carve dragons on beams, pillars, doors and windows and walls everywhere. This house is like the Dragon Palace. Even Ye Gong's own clothes are embroidered with lifelike dragons.
The news that Ye Gong likes dragons reached the ears of real dragons in the Heavenly Palace. The real dragon thought, "I didn't expect that there is another person in the world who likes me so much!" I have to go down and see him. " One day, the dragon descended from the sky and came to Ye Gong's house. The dragon put his head into the window of Ye Gong's house and dragged his long tail on the ground. When Ye Gong heard the sound, he went out of the bedroom to look. This expression is terrible. A real dragon is there staring at itself. Ye Gong suddenly turned pale and trembled with fear, and ran away with a cry.
Later, people used "Ye Gong Long Hao" to describe people or things who seemed to like something, but actually didn't.
Story 3:
It is said that a long time ago, the dragon king who lived in the deep sea came to visit the returnees one day. He felt pain in his waist like a drill, and his eyes fainted without thinking much. The old dragon king couldn't hold on any longer, and rolled on his gums in pain. The dragon king thought, "if I continue to suffer like this, I will be in pain." I'd better try it on earth. " ?
The Dragon King became a white-haired old man. Besides, the old doctor saw a white-haired old man coming in with his waist down and his face blue and sweating, so he persuaded everyone to let the old man have a look first. You're welcome, Dragon King. Hardly had he sat down when he held out his hand. The old doctor touched the pulse door and got a fright, thinking that he had been ill for decades, and how this man's pulse was different from ordinary people.
He got up and called the old man into the back room. The old doctor asked him to tell him who he really was. If he doesn't tell the truth, it will be difficult to write a prescription. It will be a disaster if he drags on like this. Hearing this, the Dragon King thought that he was still seriously ill, so he told the truth that he was the Dragon King. When he was patrolling the sea, he felt itchy and painful in his waist. When he returned to the Dragon Palace, the pain was even worse. He called all the dragon doctors, but it was useless. He just came to the world and asked the doctor for a diagnosis. ?
The old doctor sighed and said, "Oh, I see. Ok, but you can't be diagnosed until you go to the seaside again. " Strange to say, the old dragon king's illness soon recovered. When the old doctor turned to leave, the Dragon King grabbed him and said, "Donor, if it weren't for you, the old dragon would have died long ago. Wait a minute, I'll come right away. "
Say that finish and plunged into the sea. Not long after, the Dragon King brought a plate of treasures from the sea with the dragon lady and the dragon son, thanking the old doctor. The doctor refused to accept anything. He pushed and said, "As long as the Dragon King protects the world, it should be thanked for the good weather every year." The old dragon king thought about it and said, "Well, every spring, all you have to do is tie a paper dragon like my body and call me with gongs and drums." My old dragon will ensure good weather and good crops. " ?
Since then, whenever the Spring Festival comes, people hang paper dragons, beat drums and dance dragon lanterns to celebrate the good weather in the coming year. The custom of dragon lantern dance has been passed down from generation to generation. Although this is a legend, it symbolizes the image of the dragon in our minds.

Someone asked him why he didn't draw the eyes of a dragon. He said, draw eyes and the dragon will fly away. The listener didn't believe it, so he had to draw it. Zhang Monk Friend had no choice but to nod his eyes on the faucet with a brush. Who knows, just clicked the eyes of two dragons, the sky was thundering, the wind was blowing hard, the rain was pouring down, and the city wall was shattered. Two dragons flew into the sky, leaving only two dragons without eyes on the wall.

Dragon is a miraculous animal in ancient myths and legends in China and other East Asian regions, and it is the leader of scale insects. It is often used to symbolize auspiciousness, and it is one of the most representative traditional cultures in East Asian countries such as the Chinese nation.
The most basic feature of the dragon image is "nine similarities", which nine animals are specific, which is still controversial. Legend has it that it can be hidden, detailed and huge, short and long. The vernal equinox ascends to the sky, the autumnal equinox dives into the deep, and it calls for rain, and these are the images of dragons developed in the later period, which are more complicated than the original dragons.
In feudal times, the dragon was a symbol of imperial power, and the objects used in the palace were also decorated with dragons.
Dragon ranks fifth among the traditional Chinese zodiac animals in China, and is also called "Four Spirits" with phoenix, tortoise and forest in the Book of Rites Nine Rites. The dragon in western mythology has also been translated into Jackie Chan, but the two are not the same.
The creatures in China ancient folk myths and legends that can be seen in China's ancient books and records can't be found in reality, but the components of their images come from reality, which plays the role of exorcising evil spirits, avoiding disasters and praying for blessings.
