古老传说中的奇迹龙的守护与天上的彩虹桥
一、神话的起源
In the beginning, China was a land of mystery and wonder. The ancient people believed in a world beyond their own, where gods and goddesses ruled the skies and seas. Among these deities, none were as revered as the dragons.

Dragons were not just beasts; they symbolized power, wisdom, and good fortune. They had scales that shone like jade or gold, wings that could take them to the heavens, and eyes that burned with an inner light. These magnificent creatures roamed both land and sea.
三、龙的守护神
According to legend, dragons protected humans from harm. They watched over kingdoms and villages alike, ensuring peace and prosperity for all who lived within their domains. In return for their protection, people offered sacrifices of rice cakes or silk threads.
四、天上的彩虹桥
One day a great drought struck the land. Crops withered under the sun's relentless gaze while rivers dwindled into mere streams. The people prayed to heaven for relief but received no answer until one morning when a brilliant rainbow appeared in the sky—its end touching down on earth at a place called Rainbow Bridge.
五、黄帝和日月两星
Legend tells us that Yellow Emperor himself crossed this bridge in search of divine guidance during his reign over ancient China's first dynasty—the Xia Dynasty (c 2100 BCE - c 1600 BCE). He sought advice from Sun God Xunyu (God of Light) who dwelled atop Mount Tai along with Moon Goddess Chang'e (God of Night).
