About this eBook

世界上真的有龙吗?“龙是古人想象出来的动物”“龙是一种综合性的图腾”“龙是以大蛇为基本原型的”“龙是远古居民对湾鳄的特殊称呼”,众说纷纭,莫衷一是。作者力排众议,独辟蹊径,从古代史书、笔记、地方志中搜集了大量罕为人知的记载,并联系多位目击者所提供的证词,反复比照,论断独到——龙是一种在历史上真实存在过的动物,并且是一种有别于蛇、鳄的古代两栖类动物。它的身影,在中国有文字记载以来的几千年历史中若隐若现。不管添上了多么奇异的色彩,它的基本形象及生态特征,依然没有脱离隐藏在背后的那个生物原型。本书是颇为奇特的一家之言,不仅立论新颖,而且举证丰富。作者旁征博引,探幽抉秘,对这种古代动物的外形、习性、潜居的区域、出没的规律等,都作了细致的分析。文字生动晓畅,视野恢宏,从史实记载到神话传说,从生物演化到环境变迁,娓娓而谈,引人入胜。
