But not in China...Chinese dragon is a rain deity that fosters harmony...Why? Because of Chinese climate...

Dragons appeared in China for the first time during Neolithic...
The Xinglongwa culture (6200–5400BC) https://t.co/d5DuI3BJGu

These guys made first jade dragon rings...
The Hongshan_culture (4700-2900BC) https://t.co/t8tiq3VBsX succeeded Xinglongwa culture.

And they loved dragon rings...So much they became obsessed with them and made pile and pile and pile of them...
Looks familiar? This is the earliest example of Ouroboros: Serpent biting its tail. Remember Dragon (Destructive sun's heat of the late summer) = Old Serpent (Sun's heat). https://t.co/nPGfTBQLs8
Before I saw these Neolithic Chinese Ouroboroses I thought that they appeared for the first time in Ancient Egypt. Did you know that the 4th century AD Latin commentator Servius says the Egyptian use of the Ouroboros symbol to represent the cyclical nature of the year...
So if dragon is the symbol of the destructive heat of the late summer, why is the Chinese dragon "a rain deity that fosters harmony"?

Because this is what the climatic year looks like in North Eastern China: The maximum heat corresponds to maximum precipitation...
The dragon (the hottest sun of the late summer early autumn) really does bring rain...Shit loads of it actually...

Yin (water, down, rain) and Yang (fire, up, sun) in balance and harmony... https://t.co/CXAXhWSDQe
By the way, did I mention that the dragon mad Hongshan culture guys belonged to the paternal haplogroup N-M231??? It is estimated that this was the predominant haplogroup in the region in the Neolithic period at 89%, its share gradually declining over time!!!
Today this haplogroup is most common in Finland, the Baltic states and among northern Siberian ethnicities, such as the Yakuts.

Any Fins here today? What the fuck were you guys doing in China 7000 years ago and what's the story with the "dragon thingy"? 🙂
Well the story is all about the beginning of agriculture and the domestication of millet...But more about it in another thread soon....
Distribution of the N haplogroup today
