In the Book of Changes, dragons have six forms, and of course there are six life stages. Phoenix is a bird, but it is different from dragon. The best thing about the phoenix is nirvana, and the dragon can't stand the phoenix rebirth. Dragon is an aquatic animal, which belongs to yin and essence, phoenix belongs to yang and god, and the zodiac is incompatible. When the dragon saw that Phoenix was not among the animals of the Zodiac, it was difficult for him to choose a date or something.
And China pays attention to the right match, especially when the dragon hears the phrase "plucked phoenix is not as good as chicken". Therefore, apart from the working relationship, Longfeng no longer has a relationship of half a dime. Dragon is a wood in five lines of gossip, which is located in the east. Phoenix is a fire, located in the south. Although we all say that the dragon and the phoenix are auspicious, it is not life and death. They live in different directions. Just like a joke we are telling now, do polar bears eat penguins? Living in different places, there are no polar bears in Antarctica and no penguins in the Arctic. Dragon and phoenix are both mascots of China, so people combine them together, which is perfection. That's why there is such a legend as auspicious dragon and phoenix.
This problem has been solved. Let's talk about the problem of nine children born in a dragon. Why don't the nine sons of the dragon look like their father? First of all, we need to know the origin of the saying "Nine sons born in a dragon". It was not recorded before the Ming Dynasty, and it didn't appear until the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty. It is said that Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty had to ask the cabinet because he couldn't figure out the name of Jiuzi. At that time, Li Dongyang, a cabinet university student, received a "royal book post" from the emperor and asked about "Nine Longshengs".
Li Dongyang this nasty, privately thought, where do I know? But it is not good to report directly to the emperor what he doesn't know, so he and his ministers made up a story at will, pieced it together and passed it on. At this point, we can know that "Nine sons were born in a dragon" actually has nothing to say, but it is just a "fake" pieced together by ministers because of Ming Xiaozong's questioning of "Nine sons". But because it was written by a celebrity and then spread by many celebrities, the celebrity effect made it a reality, gradually accepted by people, and finally became a statement.
