Liu Lei, a "dragon expert" in Xia Dynasty, kept two live dragons. What did he raise?

Dragons play an important role in China culture, and are especially loved by emperors of past dynasties. They think they are the only thrill, and the dragon will be in the next life. At the same time, the clothes they wear are embroidered with dragons from Dou Xiu. At the same time, we are also called descendants of the dragon. According to the legend of the dragon, there used to be idioms that passed through the dragon, such as dragon dancing and two dragons playing with pearls. It is also related to the custom of dragons. For example, on February 2nd, people will have their hair cut on this day, which means that dragons look up. Besides dragons, there are four other species, namely "phoenix, forest and turtle", which are collectively called "four spirits".

However, there is a record about raising dragons in a history book. He happened in Lushan County, Henan Province, and the local people also made a statue for this dragon protector. This man's name is Liu Lei.

Legend has it that in the Xia Dynasty, once the emperor went out, he accidentally got two dragons, a female and a male. So the emperor ordered them to be taken back, and there was a problem. Who will raise them? So the emperor ordered the recruitment of talented people. In this way, Liu Lei, a bold artist, unveiled the list, entered the palace and took good care of a man and a woman and two dragons in Wang Xia. Wang Xia was so happy that he gave Liu Lei the title of "Imperial Dragon". But it didn't last long. The two dragons died soon, so Liu Lei was implicated and sent to death row. Later, he escaped and lived in seclusion.

In fact, at that time, what Wang Xia saw was not a dragon, but an animal they had never seen before. That is, the deer now, and those legends about dragons are just legends, with no theoretical basis and no archaeological basis, so this legend is not credible.
