Is the snake the father of the dragon? Oracle bone script can be so interesting!

A contemporary oracle bone script art museum has opened in West Lake Yintai, focusing on the modernization of oracle bone script. The opening exhibition "Shun Si Wu Ta" is a blessing for the Year of the Snake. The elevator, toilet, and water table are all decorated with various oracle bone scripts, and knowledge is brought to life in your mind! Oracle bone script is the earliest mature writing system discovered in China, and the snake is "it" in oracle bone script. "Wu Ta" means not being harmed by snakes and insects, that is, no disasters! The snake is the ancestor god of the Chinese people, and both Fuxi and Nuwa have human heads and snake bodies. The snake is nicknamed "little dragon," but perhaps the snake is the father of the dragon. Or, the dragon is a big snake, a snake that has cultivated and attained the Tao. There are six stages from snake to Yinglong: snake - python - anaconda - dragon - jiao - dragon - horned dragon - Yinglong. A dragon with scales is called a jiaolong, a dragon with wings is called a yinglong, and a dragon with horns is called a qiulong. The oilseed rape snake is the nemesis of many poisonous snakes, and together with the turtle, it forms the mythical beast Xuanwu, and is also one of the "Five Immortals," the Willow Immortal. The Willow Immortal is proficient in medicine and has great magical power, and is regarded as the immortal and guardian god of the home.
