The Origin of Dragon Image

龍的形象起源

It had been widely acknowledged that the dragon image originated during the Han Dynasty over 2 200 years ago,until the shocking discovery in 1988 of "the First Dragon of China". A dragon image built of shells from over 6000 years ago,at the Ruins of Yangshao Culture in Puyang,Henan Province, which already possessed the major characteristics of later dragon images.

已被廣泛承認龍的形象在漢代起源，超過2200多年，直到在1988年驚人的發現“中國的第一隻龍”。貝殼上畫的龍來自6000多年前，在河南濮陽的仰韶文化，已經具備了後來龍的形象的主要特徵。
