A cicada transforms into a dragon: The story of dragon patterns

Each of the twelve zodiac signs has its own meaning, but for the descendants of China, even if they are not born in the year of Chen, they all call themselves "descendants of the dragon" .

As the only miraculous animal in the Chinese zodiac, the dragon has nine animals including shrimp eyes, antlers, an ox's mouth, a dog's nose, a catfish's whiskers, a lion's mane, a snake's tail, a fish's scales, and an eagle's claws all rolled into one - Nine different animals The image .

However, the reason why we have such a clear and specific image recognition of dragons is not the process of "reaching the sky in one step" in and . Today Ou Hua will first take you to explore the evolution of dragons from the dragon pattern, and then look back at the evolution of the dragon. The connotation of dragon pattern.

There are different opinions on the origin of dragons, but the worship of dragons is concentrated in the transition period from the hunting era to the farming era.

During this period, human beings changed from avoiding beasts to taming them. The worship of animals in the tribal era began to gradually disappear. The dragon, as a culmination of the series, could not only satisfy man's awe of nature, but also reflect man's original will to conquer nature.

From Shang and Zhou Dynasties to Wei and Jin

The dragon pattern of the Shang Dynasty is full of childishness and roundness. It has a large head, a long body and no legs, and is shaped like a snake, with a cuteness~

It is like a big snake coiling and swirling in a ring-shaped pattern. It became Panlong pattern .

In addition, the status of Kui pattern in the Shang Dynasty was also quite "noble", second only to the Taotie pattern.

Kui is a dragon-like animal in the legends of the Shang Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty. Most of its images are hornless, one-legged, with an open mouth and a curled tail. Kui patterns are often decorated on bronzes such as bells, tripods, and Yi vessels.

During the Warring States Period, the main body of the dragon pattern became more slender, and the four legs of the tiger were added to the shape, making it powerful, majestic, gorgeous and full of life.

The dragons of this period had various body shapes, such as single or multiple bodies, horned or hornless, prone or side-curved, curled or entangled.

On the basis of continuing the dragon pattern of the Warring States Period, the dragon pattern of the Qin and Han Dynasties gave more sense of power. The image of the dragon is also basically stereotyped, that is, long horns, pointed ears, animal feet, snake body, and an animal shape without scales. , mighty and passionate, with extraordinary momentum.

Due to the surge of various ideological trends such as metaphysics and Buddhism, as well as the openness and advocating for talent and learning in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the dragon patterns in the Wei and Jin Dynasties have a airy fairy air and are more diverse in form.

区花 Speaking of this, everyone should have noticed that in fact, the shapes of dragon patterns in different periods often reflect the characteristics of the era in which lives..

Judging from the rough division of district flowers, the more turbulent the era, the more exciting and light the dragon pattern is. The more unified the era, the stronger the sense of power and heaviness.

From the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties

After the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the characteristics of the times became more prominent.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the dragon pattern had both the beauty of realism and freehand brushwork. The dragon transitioned from the shape of a beast to the shape of a dragon. The shape was full and plump, and the appearance was between snakes and beasts, highlighting the magnificent Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, during this period, the dragon pattern was not only popular in the palace, but also widely spread among the people.

The shape of the palace dragon pattern highlights divinity, is magnificent, exquisite and elegant; the folk dragon pattern means auspiciousness, elegance, beauty and vivid charm.

Another interesting little history -

Our first impression of dragon patterns probably originated from the dragon patterns on the dragon robes of ancient emperors. Although the Song Dynasty was an important turning point in the history of dragon pattern design, the emperors of the Song Dynasty They rarely wear gorgeous dragon robes, preferring simple and plain red robes. They are worried that if they still follow the gorgeous and grand dragon robes of the Tang Dynasty, they may keep civil servants at a distance and find it difficult to speak out and accept advice.

The dragon pattern in the Ming and Qing Dynasties is basically the dragon pattern we are familiar with today. There are also clearer specifications in use :

Five claws are dragons, four claws and three claws are pythons. Dragons with two horns and five claws are reserved exclusively for the emperor, while pythons with three and four claws can be used by civilians. The pattern of the court uniforms of ministers stipulates that civil and military officials below the rank of Jiuqing are restricted to wearing python suits, and dragon robes are prohibited. The number and color of pythons are stipulated according to the official position.

Of course, in modern times, these are just casual~

In terms of composition, most of the compositions are full of ground, clusters of branches, scattered dots, geometry, and suitable forms. The composition is changeable and the structure is more compact. Dragon patterns are mostly set off by cloud patterns and sea water. The dragon soars among the sea of ​​clouds, which is called sea water cloud dragon pattern .

It can be seen from this that the dragon pattern in ancient China is a process from abstract to concrete, from freehand to realism.
