용(Korean Dragon) - Ryoung(Korean Dragon) and Dragon(Werstern Fantasy Creature)

 Yongyong, along with giraffes, phoenixes, and turtles, is an imaginary animal that has been called the spirit. The appearance of a dragon in Gwanga Ikjo is described as follows. "The dragon is the head of Inchung, and its shape is similar to that of other beasts. In other words, it is the head of a camel, the horns of a deer, the eyes of a rabbit, the ears of a cow, the nape of a snake, the belly like a shell, the scales of a carp, the feet of a tiger, and the claws of a hawk. Among them, there are 81 scales, which are 9*9 amniotic fluid, and the sound seems to ring a tray made of copper, there is a long beard around the mouth, a silk under the chin, and a gourd mountain above the head. It must be called a hand under the dragon's chin.  In addition, some literature say that dragons have no ears, so horns replace ears.   The dragon is also a symbol of the emperor and wise man. The dragon was a symbol of authority and power enough to call the emperor's face 顔, and the chair 등등. And in 徑에, the dragon was called a symbol of the great man. In particular, dragons are deeply related to water. When looking at the waterside of 地의, it is written, "A dragon is born in water, and its color is a god who has the ability to change the five colors at will." In addition, the Dragon King is the king of the sea and rules the water, presiding over rain and wind. Of course, it depends on the type, so there may be Hwaryongs that organize the fire. The dragon's Yeouiju is also known as 용이珠 and is related to the moon. It is said that the dragon controls the rain and controls the wind as this magic pearl. So without this magic pearl, the dragon cannot exert its power. In folk tales, it is said that dragons swallow Yeouiju as a broken moon and spit it out as a moon when it gets cold soon. Dragon A large, large snake with sharp claws and wings is probably the most faithful picture of a Western dragon. It may be black, but it looks better only when it flashes. It is also sometimes depicted as emitting fire and steam. Western people believed that this was the actual appearance of a dragon. The Greeks seem to have associated the actual appearance of the dragon with an unusual kind of snake. Prinius said this. In summer, dragons eat the blood of relatively cold elephants. The dragon violently attacks the elephant, wraps it around it, and bites it with its teeth. The elephant, whose blood is stolen, eventually dies while rolling on the ground. However, the dragon cannot overcome the opponent's weight and dies from being pressed. There is also a story in Ethiopia that dragons cross the Red Sea to Arabia in search of excellent ranches. For this adventure, four or five dragons hug each other to form a ship. But the head is always out of the water. On another page, there are various prescriptions using dragons, and this story is written. The dried and mixed eyes of a dragon with honey can create an ointment that is excellent for fear and anxiety. And if the dragon's heart's fat is wrapped in sheep's skin and tied to a person's arm with a deer's tendon, it will win the lawsuit. In addition, tying the dragon's teeth to the body makes the owner generous and the king gracious. Although this literature expressed skepticism, it also mentioned in detail how to prepare drugs that make humans invincible. In other words, it was believed that the lion's fur and bone marrow, the foam of the horse that just won the race, the dog's claws, and the dragon's tail and head could make these medicines. Chapter 11 of Ilias tells this story. "In Agamemnon's sentence, there is a dragon called Paaran, which has three namgeuns." A few centuries later, Scandinavian pirates drew dragons in sentences, and the dragon's head was engraved on the bow. The Romans drew dragons on the flags of infantry (while eagles on the flags of cavalry). The origin of the current "Dragon's Unit" began right here. Kings from the Germanic people of England always drew dragons on flags. The purpose of drawing a dragon on the flag like this was to give fear to the enemy. There is a phrase like this in Artis' dream. Romans always carry this with them. This always makes us afraid of the Romans. Westerners always thought of dragons as evil beasts. There was always a dragon in the battle of the heroes (Hercules, Zergert, St. Michael, and St. George) in the classics, and killing the dragon by submission became the subject of the heroic story. In the Germanic legend, dragons play a role in protecting expensive objects. In addition, in the poem Bear Wolf (a poem made in Yeonguk around the 8th century), a dragon that played a role in protecting treasures for 300 years appears. The slave who escapes hides in a cave guarded by the dragon and brings out a jar. However, the dragon, who wakes up, finds out that the treasure has been stolen and drives away the thief. After that, I sometimes come down to the cave and look at it (the poet's amazing imagination gives the dragon a very human appearance). In other words, it shows a fairly unstable psychological state). After that, the dragon devastates the enemy country. Then Beowulf goes out to find the dragon, fights the dragon, and kills it. People believed that dragons existed. In the mid-16th century, dragons were also recorded in Conrat Gesner's Animal Journal, a fairly scientific book. Over time, the dragon's reputation has faded considerably. We made the animal lion a symbol, but it is real. However, we only take Minotaurus (human body but head is a small human) as a symbol. Because I know it doesn't exist. Perhaps the most widely known among people is the dragon. However, it is also the least fortunate animal among imaginary animals. Talking about dragons is regarded as immature or childish acts of iron site. However, it should not be forgotten that this is also nothing more than a modern prejudice due to the appearance of too many dragons in the stories of fairies. St. John mentioned the dragon twice in the Book of Revelation, that is, "a long-established snake called a devil and Satan..." St. Augustine told a similar story. "It's a lion and a dragon." Bravery is like a lion and a ruse is like a dragon." Yungdo also said that the characteristics of snakes and birds, which are the basic elements of heaven and earth, are mixed in the dragon.
