The popularity of "Dragon Ball" has made people all over the world associate the dragon in the East with the lamp god in Central Asia. Both are powerful existences that can help people realize their wishes. Even in the birthplace of the dragon, there are more and more People who started to vassalize this setting, such as the so-and-so Shenlong movie released this year.

However, Disney wants to tell you that dragons in the East will not satisfy human beings for nothing. Dragons are totems, beliefs, reverence for nature, and inheritance of human spirit. Want to make a wish come true? Sorry, you need to work on it yourself.

It is said that the dragon in this movie is the same, because the dragon is such a kind of existence in Chinese traditional culture. "Book of Changes" - the lines of the Qian Gua correspond to the different forms of the dragon. The order from the ninth to the ninth is as follows: 1. Do not use Qianlong. 2. See the dragon in the field, and benefit from the adults. 3. A gentleman works hard all day long, and is vigilant at night, without blame. 4, or jump in the abyss, no blame. 5. The flying dragon is in the sky, and it is beneficial to see the adults. 6. Kanglong has regrets. On the one hand, it is about the changes of the stars in the sky at different times; on the other hand, it is deduced that people should follow different laws at different stages.

After comparing the two, you will find that the dragon in the movie and the dragon in the traditional sense overlap perfectly. Dragon originates from human's reverence for nature, and ultimately serves the development of human beings. Whether it is saving the world or saving yourself, it is better to act instead of praying.
