The Americans oppose denying the Chinese dragon saying that there is no need to rename Loong.

Some people in China suggested that the "Dragon" should be corrected as a symbol of the image of China's country, which caused a heated debate on the Internet. Those who advocate "abandon Dragon" believe that "Dragon is regarded as an aggressive and domineering giant in the Western world, its image will often make some Westerners arbitrarily create some unrealistic associations, which may lead to misunderstandings, misunderstandings, or ulterior motives ".

The reporter made an impromptu small-scale investigation in the United States and did not find that the Americans had "unrealistic associations" when linking dragon with China ", there is no "misunderstanding, misunderstanding, or ulterior motives ". Reporters have limited capabilities and can only conduct small-scale investigations.

Is it true that if someone in the West misunderstands China because of the "domineering and aggressive" nature of the dragon, we should abandon the dragon and then use the gentle pandatv or other "non-invasive" animals? The reporter interviewed Norman, vice president of Silicon Valley times, San Francisco, who has been engaged in research on Eastern and Western cultures for a long time. He said that now Chinese people care too much about what westerners think, especially what Americans think. Not to mention that most Westerners accept the image of "Dragon" as China. Even if someone with ulterior motives tries to attack China with the legend of "Dragon, china cannot be confused, and its waist and legs are soft, so it can discard the essence of its own nation.

Norman said, "the Chinese dragon" and the Western dragon are two different things, "the Chinese dragon" is not the Western dragon ". In terms of shape, "Chinese Dragon" is a new totem composed of nine totem types. The dragon has a beard on its mouth. In western mythology, although the dragon is somewhat similar to the Chinese dragon, it is more like a dinosaur or lizard with wings and no beard on its mouth. In a symbolic sense, "China Dragon" is a symbolic symbol of good fortune, a guarantee of good weather and good rain, and a symbol of national harmony. In the Bible, the dragons of the West are the "devil" and "Satan", and "confusing the whole world", a symbol of evil and violence. If the Chinese dragon is abandoned because of the Western dragon, it is like cutting your feet.

It may be because neither the Chinese dragon nor the Western dragon really exists. It is a product of imagination. The two dragons are called Dragon in English words. Such Zhang guanli Dai is a result of history and cultural differences between the East and the West. However, in any case, when people associate dragon with China today, the image of dragons in most Westerners is the "Chinese Dragon" that people are familiar with, rather than the "evil dragon" in the Bible ", otherwise, there will not be so many Westerners who like China's dragon dance performances, nor will there be any Westerners engraved themselves with the Dragon's body, and the NBA Toronto Raptors will not regard the dragon as their image.

Norman said that the image of any country is not perfect. The United States regards the domineering, aggressive, and greedy meat animal Vulture as its national image. Will the United States replace it with a squirrel because it will cause "misunderstanding, misunderstanding, or ulterior motives" in other countries? The polar bears representing Russia are stupid, but others will not underestimate Russia.

When talking about whether it is necessary to change dragon to Loong to "Chinese Dragon", Norman said that since most Westerners are used to using dragon to express "Chinese Dragon ", so what is the need to change the name to cater to a small number of people with ulterior motives?

Norman believes that the reason why some people in China propose to abandon the dragon is actually a traditional mentality of focusing on foreign beauty and terrorism. He said that in the process of opening China to the world, on the one hand, we should not drop our children and bath water together, and on the other hand, we should be cautious with all the Western-only attitudes. Those who advocate "abandon Dragon" also believe that the image of Dragon as China will encourage Western countries to worry about the rise of China.

According to this theory, do you want to replace the dragon with a gentle pandatv? In fact, people advocating the "China threat theory" do not care whether the image of China is a dragon or any other animal.
