My grandma told us she and many of her coworkers saw a black and red dragon in southern Taiwan in around 1949-1950 when they worked in a sugar cane field. The dragon was quite far away but can be seen clearly "floating" upward in the sky. Soon the sky turned dark and wind blew hard, followed by very heavy rain.
Sounds like someone summoned sheng long (dragon ball).

I thought it might be a tornado but my grandma said she saw it very clearly. It WAS a dragon.
@@johnyan836You were a dragon??? 😮

Of course .....
NOT
@@johnyan836 ah damn you're not? i had so many questions 😂
Dragon truly exist .It is called atakooro in Yoruba language. My dad told me a story about a dragon that used to be seen in Idanre in Ondo State of Nigeria up to the 1950s. He said he does not know what happened to the animal because know one has seen it for years. But the story of atakooro still exist among our elders in the Yoruba race of Nigeria. DRAGON IS REAL.
Atakooro
Not the same as the Chinese dragon which has been part of the Chinese culture and history for over 4000 years with countless written records and art illustrations.
They are just dinosaurs. They didn’t live millions of years ago.
@@kylehutchinson5016Yep. The word "dinosaur" wasn't invented until the 1800's. Everybody all over the world referred to all types of large scaled beasts (land, sea, and aerial types) as one word or another for "dragon" in their own language. So yeah. It is indeed very possible back in the day that people here and there caught glimpses of these "large beasts" before they completely became extinct.
God bless you bruvva this is the truth! Dragons were killed and giants too// magick is real and i have proof
Many years ago the Chinese news crew were reporting on and filming a water spout (tornado which sucks up water) somewhere in China, as the camera zooms in on the tornado, a BLACK DRAGON flew out from tornado !
I was an eye witness when I was around 5 years old. I was playing along the corridor along and suddenly there was a strong wind and it started to rain. My grandma came out of her house looking for me, then pointed to the sky saying: see there's a dragon in the clouds. I looked up and saw a snake like creature (black outline) gliding within the clouds. Below the sight was an small river about 20 metres away from my position. Then my grandma quickly pulled me into the house. My memory of the image may be getting frail but I'm sure that's something extrodinary that I'll never forget.
Yea ok lol 😆 your grandma drugged you
I have believed that dragons existed all of my life A myth is always based on facts.
Agree with this myth is real.
I 100% agree on this
“A myth is always based on facts” probably the dumbest thing ive read all week.
@jeancena3556 apparently your the only one that disagrees with me. Do you believe that Jesus died and rose 3 days later? Millions of people believe that, so why not dragons?
In Serbian folklore belief in dragons is very detailed. There are beings similar to dragons and are their nemesis called "Ale(plural)", and actually they fly in the sky and bring storms and hails, as well as it is said here for Chinese dragons. Dragons are connected to the rivers and can live in old trees, but they can also turn into a man, and like that take themselves a wife and have an offspring. This offspring are usually grown to become great heroes, and have some strange bodily characteristics, like scales on some part of their body, a tail, or strength and magical powers, and usually the word Zmaj (dragon) in their name. There is a verse in one old Serbian epic poem it goes something like: wherever are there Serbian heroes, many of them are born of dragons, and many of them are brought up by vilas (fairies).
It’s called jinn ( evil spirits) and yes they do exist
Dragons we’re created to destroy anything surviving the flood. They lived beyond the Noah civilization and were friendly.
@@lf697 Please be respectful of other's culture. In your culture it's called a Djinn which is evil in nature, but in other cultures, it could be good like OP stated that in Serbian folklore the offsprings are often heroes.
nice
I'm Hmong (Asians from Gran Torino) and we pronounce dragon as Zaj, that's very close to Zmaj. If you type in Zaj on youtube you'll see plenty of Dragon stories and thumbnail pop up
When I was a young kid, my late grandmother used to tell me about a villager's experience of seeing a massive, snake-like creature that had once slipped across the river near her village. The storms and severe rain had at that point caused the riverbed to flood. Around that same time, that villager noticed a massive, snake-like creature moving quickly down the river from the mountainside, which caused the village to flood. The mountain was there up until today, but no one has seen that creature again.
True , but a evil dragon exposed
I once heard from a prominent monk who said dragon do exists thousand years ago. It's a spiritual animal. Thousand years ago it's easy to sighting of dragon. Nowadays you can't see them because of the blooming human population. They were afraid to come out.
I don't think they're afraid. I think they're already extinct.
Afraid yap bro, too scared to face evils
They still exist. Afraid is maybe the wrong word. It's closer to say dormant.
Dragons and dinosaurs are the same animals Job 40:6
Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm:
7 “Brace yourself like a man;
I will question you,
and you shall answer me.
8 “Would you discredit my justice?
Would you condemn me to justify yourself?
9 Do you have an arm like God’s,
and can your voice thunder like his?
10 Then adorn yourself with glory and splendor,
and clothe yourself in honor and majesty.
11 Unleash the fury of your wrath,
look at all who are proud and bring them low,
12 look at all who are proud and humble them,
crush the wicked where they stand.
13 Bury them all in the dust together;
shroud their faces in the grave.
14 Then I myself will admit to you
that your own right hand can save you.
I find it so strange when people do not believe in dragons. Perhaps many now living have never lived under wise and benevolent rule?
Your leader is not wise and benevolent either. Propaganda is just effective an effective way to brainwash people.
My brothers were born in the year of the dragon. One fine day when they were 8-9 years old, they saw it hovering in the sky in a space of a few days. So my mom bought them to the temple to do some prayers. I find no reason to doubt their experiences as I had saw some other miracle years later as an adult too.
no way that 30 foot Tang dynasty painting is worth a measly 600k... that thing is worth at least 600 million to a billion.
Respect for your remark on "benevolent government" - well said & also beautiful pronunciation.
Pulling 800 milion out of poverty regardless of ethnicity and continuously improving the lives of milions certaintly are enough to earn the title 'benevolent government
I'm studying Chinese at UNI and yout chanel will be really helpful for me) Also, the research work is really cool, so many details and pictures - Thanks for the the time you pur into your videos!
Hi Alexa, good luck with your degree. My biggest advice from my 4 years in the Chinese department at SOAS: flashcards. Biggest weapon in remembering 100s or over 1000 Chinese characters. If you use software like iFlash you can make triple sided ones, then you can test on looking at english and writing the character on paper and checking its right, looking at character than saying the pinyin and english etc... Ben.
Thank you very much, Ben) I'll definitely try using triple sided flashcards, thanks! I'm actually russian, so I'll be learning in russian^^ I appreciate your advice) Hope you have a great day and upload a video for us soon!
One particular sect of buddhism is called as drukpa Kagyue, meaning Dragon lineage order, which is practiced widely even today across the himalayas, the founder of this teaching
Tsang Gere is believed to have seen dragon flying and roaring in the sky when he achieved his ultimate atainment in 12 century AD thus his teaching be called as Drukpa Kagyue, the 12th incarenate of Tsangpa gere Gyalwang Drukpa is the current throne holder of the lineage.
Drukpa? Is that Bhutanese?
Actually Chinese mythical creatures are well depicted and kept. There are a lot and very interesting .
Interesting story reminds me of the Loch Ness monster and the dragons of Arthurian legend
Loch Ness was faked though lol
Loch mess anima s are seen in
Scot and Ire and Sweden Norway
Russia U.S. Canada Tibet/China Argentina for centuries. Hard to
fake a. those.
Haha, I love the last part! Your last commentary - If benevolent governance returns to China, the dragons might appear again. LOL 😂
Lol why would you listen to a random Anglo Saxon talk about China? Think for yourself, not what the whites say. China is objectively rising and improving. Don't be full of self doubt and negativity towards your own people
He's falun gong. Of course he'll say that.
Lol
Glad to see you back Ben.
This makes me more interested in Chinese history
I like the theory that Asian dragons are an extremely large, rare species of China alligator. Perhaps they really are living in remote regions of the continent
博主对中国文化研究相当之深啊，赞一个
The last statement about benevolence...lol! 😅
At 85's the dragon still exist till the exit door closed . May they come back to life and we can see them again .
The dragon found in the pond, lated died of thirst is possible. It was first found there, then left. So it tied in another place without water.
The term dinosaur was coined in the eighteen forties. What do you think they were called before then?
Bones.
How great of your video is! Thank you Thank you Thank you!
I bought a small acreage in Texas back in the early 2000s and ran into many snakes there. One day, I saw a horned toad with the body of a snake. When it ran away from me it moved faster than any horned toad or any snake that I have ever seen. Also the fat part of the body was a little larger than a normal horned toad, but the snake like part was about 2 feet long. If this thing was any bigger, it could look somewhat similar to the dragons in the pictures. When I tell people about this thing, I know they think Im full of crap. Im kinda glad it ran off as fast as it did, because I definately would have killed the thing if it took too long.
DAMN this sounds like a fascinating sight!! i wished you took a picture of it. strange duo because i have a tattoo of a toad and snake and something compels me to believe that the evolution of those two combined will be* a dragon, which is my next final tattoo. thanks for sharing!
From North East India here,in the rural village,in one area my dad owns 400 acres of farm land which he inherited from his forefathers, during my grandparents days they use it to cultivate rice and fruit and I heard stories of a "guardian spirit" who resides there,a 200 ft long "python" which is unlike any other python because he/she looks different from the Indian and Burmese pythons which are natives, the strange thing is apparently that guardian spirit have "horns" and wears "ear peice" ,that looks similar to wheat/rice stalks .. if he/she visits that area will have a bountiful harvest ,today dad forsook rice cultivation and planted rubber trees instead... That thing only visited once... He/she left a mark on the field, we are Christians so we don't believe in that "guardian spirit" thing ofc... But we know that a different species of python,"a horned python" with weird markings exist...
My mother claimed that she, and a bunch of other local people in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, eye witnessed a Chinese dragon clawing and wrapping around a factory chimney not long after Japanese surrender after WWII. Every time she would describe the movement and how the scales of the dragon moved vividly as if it was yesterday. She said that the the dragon ascended into the sky and clouds by wriggling and twirling it's body. But, we, of course, do not quite believe her as we have not seen with our own eyes.
I would freak out if i saw a creature like that!
I used to think there is science in everything but I grew wiser as I aged.
I want the dragons back
In Polish legend we had a Wawel Dragon from Krakow, Bazyliszek in Warsaw. In Slovenia capitol Lubljana has a rich history of Dragons. Nothing comes out of nothing, every legend has its roots in truth.
Indeed agree
I enjoyed it very much. I believe I will see a dragon in my life. My granddaughter was born in the year of the Golden Dragon!
Re: those last two sightings ... if seeing a live dragon means good luck, wouldn't finding a dead one mean bad luck? And if you take these sightings at face value, then that's not just one, but two dragons that have turned up dead ...
Credit Shifu talking about dragons?! Haven’t hit the subscribe button this fast in a while
I for one would be thrilled if the dragons would return in China , because of what it represents! There's been sightings elsewhere, of what look like dragons, but these reports are hard to pin down...
excellent video. you can see the dragons in the clouds. just need to pay attention.
They were called dragons until the term Dinosaur was invented in 1800
When I was around 12 years of age, I saw gigantic intertwining scaly underbelly of snake(s), climbing over one another and encircling the entire sky. I didn’t see their heads, tails or legs though. Those bodies were grey in colour and definitely celestial in nature. I think they looked more like what is known to Hindus as Nagas or serpents. The dragon could be an embellished adaptation of the Nagas.
except Dragons in China existed for thousands of years prior to any interaction they had with the indians which were on the other side of the Himalayas
Thank you❤
Very cool.
I had a rare koi fish.. Ten years later.. It turned into a black dragon.. I still have him.. He's 4ft. Long and stinky.🐉🐉🐉🐉🐲
Listening to that guy speaking Mandarin (I assume) was so wonderful the sound of the language is a melody ❤ This lore on dragons is wonderful I have loved dragons of all kinds since childhood and I love that the Chinese dragons are benevolent.
i haven't seen one but i truly deeply believe in it. my mind, heart and soul says.
How did a mythical dragon 🐉 end up in the Chinese zodiac, not the Qilin or the Phoenix ??
There were many myths in the zodiacs. As the most enduring is the great race where there have been a writing of the beliefs as it had been a powerful influence of the dragon 🐲
preliminaries bro
Back then there were more on them and they weren't the "myth" we have today
All the 12 animals in the Chinese Zodiac are male. Therefore, phoenix won't be included. The dragon represents the emperor. The Qilin doesn't have enough characteristics to make it into the top 12.
@@starsgazer1000can you explain why eastern dragons are benevolent but western dragons are evil spewing fire and destruction as portrayed by western literature and films??
im impress that you really did some research and tell the story right, unlike many others who just simply took some unverified story and over elaborate.
Technically Chinese/asian dragons are called wyrms. Also sounds more like leviathan, and I'm sure that there are more than just one.
30ft is pretty short for a dragon. I'd like to think an adult dragon would be 500m long.
If Serpent is real, if Leviathan is real. If Dinosaur is real. Then who says Dragon is not real? If all these stories are not real, then why are these bones are visible before your very eyes? Many sightings of what could be creatures among shadows in the water, in the sky, in the forest, and in the desert. I believe those great creatures are REAL!
Nice story 😉👍
I wonder how the first thought on all ancient people's minds on seeing mythical creatures was to write a poem... If i saw one i'd be dying of excitement to think any coherent thoughts lol
funny how people will believe in a t rex which is scientifically impossible to have existed considering its small arms would have negated it being able to get back up on its hind legs if it ever fell over... but the mainstream narrative and masses won't accept the truth of dragons existing even though they were depicted by every culture around the world... the reason wales has a dragon on its flag is because it was apparently the last dragon to ever be killed... the story of st george and the dragon aswell
Unreal but real creepy serpent indeed
Yes.Absolutely believe it!!!👍👏🏻😍😍😍
I also really think it is true. Just do not worship creation. There is the maker of heaven and earth
Good Story👍
Interesting
Awesome
If Asian/Chinese Dragons can actually breathe fire from the sun, the underworld or the volcano.
These history were referring to Kanyu 堪舆 dragons.
To me it doesn't seem that impossible. If you think of alligators as the Komodo dragon, they could be in the past creatures bigger and perhaps related to oceans. It's just that probably as the conditions of the planet continue changing they just disappear also by indiscriminate hunting. Who knows. Probably they weren't that big and that powerful but indeed amazing creatures with not common features that could marvel at a simple human, don't you think?
Hahahahaha your so lost its not even funny
@@Armilus666 did you live in the past to know ? Hahaha there is plenty of possibilities
I really enjoy your videos. They are very informative and you both present very well.
I have noticed, however, that in many videos, you speak as though preferring the imperial form of government to the current, going so far as to imply here that the government of China is either not benevolent or at least ruling without the mandate of heaven, if I understand you correctly.
I'd be interested in hearing more about what you think on this topic. Does your perspective arise from your clear admiration for classical Chinese culture in particular, or are there other ingredients in your views?
why must classical philosophies be applied in modern governance? That is the first question. Even without the so called mandates of heaven positions of power in China have been fought over which resulted in blood and gore.
I LIKE THOOSE STORIES
I am a local, and although this is a very famous legend, I have never heard anyone mention it. Perhaps, with the passage of time, we may never know the truth.
Quetzalcoalt Aztec God is very similar to a Chinese dragon also hes Good Too
That’s Thoth from Atlantis/Egypt.
I can see how a Dragon can be seen as a good thing. :) Tons of luck.
✋Good to hear from you, real yet unreal serpent path
they r huge like the world serpent in gow.
Sir i like you're Chinese accent
Check out the legends of Dragons from Malaysia.
Too many cultures around the world share beliefs in the SAME "mythical" creatures. They must have existed.
I'm pretty sure they're still exist.
Researchers and historians today are looking at the possibility of "dragon" being synonymous with "dinosaurs". (Just go look up the modern day debates on this. Too lazy to find the sources, but I'm pretty sure you can Google this topic). Up until the middle ages, there was no term for "dinosaur". Scaled beasts were referred to by writers, hunters, and travelers alike as dragons... It is possible that all over the world, the case would have been similar. It's just that the societies all have different ways of treating and perceiving them. In the case of most Asian territories, they are associated with power and divinity.
The "dragon" spotted in the pond could not have already been fossils that quickly because it takes way longer then a few days for a dead animal to turn to fossils
Exist, comodo dragon on Indonesia.
I've seen several in the skies of florida. They not only control wheather.. They are the weather- © 2023 k.o.f.
I'm puzzled, there were bones but no DNA test was done?
Just like those skeletons of gigantic human beings which disappeared after the Smithsonian took over... Worldwide,if you find anything "strange" the government will take it,hide it and say crazy stuff like "whale bone", hoax, etc
have you seen a Chinese alligator??? they look a lot like Dragons
Chinese alligators and dwarf alligators are so damn cute.
Big black eyes and a small face
If it ever exists nowadays,I wonder what will happen to human beings on earth.
# Nevermind , story is story . It's better to have something to listen rather than none !
Well, l just love the story that's all 🎉🎉🎉
Might
Left over from the dinosaur days.
Meteors and their destructiveness are the source of dragon mythology no?
Dragon exist, but now in hiding. If you practice the mystical arts, you might stumble upon them.
What does dreaming of a golden dragon flying above your head while you walk a long stone bridge and seeing two more on your right side while the other one waited folding up in a snake like way in front?
And they are all golden dragons?
I'm a filipina and i don't have a chinese blood in me😅😆. It's quite weird.
Oh wow sounds like an amazing dream! 🐲🐲🐉🐉
@@littlefairy9696 wish i could verify just what it meant😅😅😅
Not sure what it means exactly but I would take it as a good sign 👍
@@mdnz5700 Hope to God😊😊😊
Dragon just mith like a phoenix😂😂😂.

DO you have a channel about star trek ???you look similar
Yes i was on Generation Tech and Generation Films for a while, I got sick of it though. Ruined star trek for me
I belive there is also have medieval Dragon found in 200bc ago.
My experience with the unbelievable ,has made me more excepting of people s experience,s some of these phenomena actually exists so close to us most people would be rendered comatose or die of Hart failure,and that is something that could happen at anytime on mass😮
The Weak Magnetic Field over China (..and South America who also know Dragons), the cyclical nature of the Sun matches the Disaster Cycle and therefore Ruling Empire Cycle (see Forbidden City Flood Prophecy ) - When the 'Dragons' return it will be in an highly energetic phase we barely remember, but in 'myth' and at that time of planetary rebirth and plenty, great rulers will be elected.
This is true by few only saw it ✋
My co-host and I please, it might be from a time when good manners mattered but it is rude to put yourself first
This is what falun gong teaches.
They believe in this stuff.
I'm gonna go fly across the clouds now mate.
It's exist today, it's called the komodo dragon
I was born in the year of the dragon in Chinese horoscopes
I have saw Dragons in my dreams 4 times
Lol
My late grandfather witness the flying dragon in the sky and turn into black,,..their neighbor complete the 7 magic dragon ball to make wish......
