The Origin of Dragon Image

龙的形象起源

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.

已被广泛承认龙的形象在汉代起源，超过2200多年，直到在1988年惊人的发现“中国的第一只龙”。贝壳上画的龙来自6000多年前，在河南濮阳的仰韶文化，已经具备了后来龙的形象的主要特征。
