Chapter 613
——【What standard is the person upstairs referring to?】
——【Of course, it's using our Chinese standard as the standard.】
——【The civilization standard proposed by foreign scholars in the 1960s is cities, sacrificial sites, and writing. The civilization standard proposed by Mr. Xia Ding of our country in the 1980s is cities, metallurgy, and writing. Both are troublesome to use; it's better not to have a standard.】
——【Maya, Olmec, and Aztec are all recognized civilizations, and none of them have writing. The West is also quite double-standard. The standard we propose might be more universal: social division of labor, class differentiation, and cities.】

——【I am really very confused. Sometimes when I see the dragons of the Han Dynasty, I think they are walking beasts, and the ones before that feel like they can fly, and sometimes I think they might be crocodiles. Every time I see dragons of various shapes, I get so confused.】
——【This is because the dragons of every era have the characteristics of that era. It should be said that the dragon totems after the Zhou Dynasty lost their biological nature, that is, they lost the original appearance of animals and existed purely as patterns, so naturally they might have different images.】
——【Can we understand it this way: the Zhou Dynasty couldn't refine it, and then after the Zhou Dynasty, it became more and more refined.】
——【I am considering it this way: if the earliest dragons had animal images, they might have gone extinct by the Shang and Zhou periods. The Shang, Zhou, Qin, and Han people certainly hadn't seen such creatures, so they couldn't understand the dragon as an animal image and could only turn to mythological and decorative nature.】
——【Do I have bad eyes? I really couldn't see where this cultural relic looks like a dragon at all.】
——【Yes, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a broken jade sword.】
——【Although Xiang Fangyang has restored it to a look that can be seen as quickly as possible, you can still see that this is the image of a dragon, right? When it is completely restored, it will definitely be very shocking, so how can someone say it looks like a jade sword? It doesn't look like it at all.】
——【I just don't understand, everyone says we are descendants of the dragon, but in our stories, why are dragons all villains? Why is this?】
——【That's in your stories. Only the West would use our Chinese nation's dragon totem as an enemy. The enemy is afraid from the bottom of their hearts, so they are afraid of us Chinese people.】
——【Western dragons and Eastern dragons feel like they aren't the same thing.】
——【In Chinese stories, the dragon's spirit is faith, and the dragons in Western stories are greedy and evil villains. So if you say the dragon is an enemy, you are probably not Chinese.】
——【Yes, the person upstairs who said the dragon is an enemy, which country are you from?】
——【Any Chinese person wouldn't say things like the dragon is an enemy, so the person upstairs who said the dragon is an enemy is likely a spy sent by an enemy country.】
——【He might be talking about the flood dragon; our country does treat the flood dragon as an enemy, but that is describing an evil dragon.】
——【Daring to say the dragon is an enemy, our White Dragon Horse is the first to disagree; our White Dragon Horse is such a cute child, honest to the extreme.】
——【I really didn't see where it looks like a dragon; long strip shape and naturally curved? So you say it's a dragon?】
——【Don't look at things from the past with modern eyes; after all, the past was limited in all aspects, such as craftsmanship and ideas.】
——【Yes, modern people should not guess the ideas and craftsmanship of ancient people completely. Unless there are historical records that this is a dragon, but how do people now guess that this is a dragon? Maybe in ancient times, this was called a snake?】
——【Those who don't understand can search for the Azure Dragon star pattern, and you will know what's going on. It's exactly the same. Those who say this isn't a dragon can be slapped in the face.】
——【Yes, besides the shape and the Azure Dragon star pattern theory, its excavation also confirms a sentence in the Book of Songs, but I forgot it. I couldn't think of it for a moment. I hope someone can help find it.】
Although some people said that the one Xiang Fangyang dug up might not look like a dragon, most people still saw it.
Not only did they see it, but they were also very expectant that if this dragon could be restored to its original appearance, it would definitely be very good-looking.
They were even looking forward to it like this.

Xiang Fangyang could also see how rich their expectations were from just a few sentences.
And he looked at the reflection in the livestream room very seriously, and also confirmed how curious they were about certain things.
"Azure Dragon star pattern?"
Curious about this?
Xiang Fangyang thought about it seriously, and then spread this question out and explained it to others.
"I just noticed that many people are very interested in the Azure Dragon star pattern, and some even said that if you don't understand the turquoise dragon, just go look at the Azure Dragon star pattern, and you will know that this is indeed a dragon."
"I think what you said is very reasonable."
"Let me think for a moment."
Xiang Fangyang actually looked into this a bit, after all, cultural relics also involve star patterns. He had done some research on this aspect.
It was precisely because he had researched it that he could be so calm now.
"The Azure Dragon star pattern is a very wonderful cosmic phenomenon."
"Some knowledge involved here, I'm afraid everyone doesn't understand very well when I say it now."
"I will explain it simply here."
"The Azure Dragon star pattern in the sky will be a fluorescent color. Do you know why it is a fluorescent color?"
"This light is very powerful; if the magnification reaches ten million times."
"This light is even more powerful than the light of a star."
"The radiation of this light will have a significant impact on the surrounding environment."
"Rays with longer wavelengths and infrared rays can excite night-light elements."
"Thereby producing very brilliant fluorescence."
"Forming a very sharp contrast with the celestial phenomena that can be seen normally."
"Its light even jumps."
"Its light is like the red of the universe, low-key and dazzling."
"Making people couldn't help but yearn for it."
When speaking of this, Xiang Fangyang's voice couldn't help but pause.
Everyone in the livestream room was saying that they didn't understand what Xiang Fangyang said at all, nor could they understand it.
This scene was actually already within Xiang Fangyang's expectation, and he didn't have any surprises about this at all.
"This involves astronomical knowledge, and ordinary people really don't understand it very well. I have already said this before. I have already used the most concise language to tell the current situation. If you are really very curious about what the Azure Dragon star pattern is, you can search for videos and some explanatory knowledge on the website. There is still a lot of explanatory content in this regard."
When Xiang Fangyang said this, his voice paused obviously, and he didn't mean to continue explaining these things.
"Is anyone still saying whether dragons exist?"
"This question is actually equivalent to someone doubting whether there are ghosts, monsters, or those legendary creatures in this world?"
"Because they have never seen it, they are curious about it."
Xiang Fangyang sighed silently when he said this.
"Mythological and literary records from all over the world can actually find the shadow of the dragon."
"And the dragons they describe are actually very similar to today's birds."
"In ancient Egypt, there was a legend of a giant lizard."
"This is very similar to the giant dragon legend in our country."

"Actually, this question is not just what you are thinking about; even scientists in our country in modern times are researching it through various archaeological techniques."
"They have a little discovery, which is that they found a creature that is very likely an ancient creature."
"It can even explain the legend of the dragon in the ancient period through this, and this creature is called the Diejia dragon."
"Their bodies have 4 wings."
"They can fly and walk."
"And the Azure Dragon star pattern also refers to our 'Dragon Raises its Head' on the second day of the second lunar month. In the ancient people's star worship."
"Spring plowing begins here, and it also implies that all things are vibrant and the weather is favorable."
