Yeah!!! Unexpectedly, the origin of 'acting cute' comes from the 'majestic' dragon in Taiyuan's impression

Yeah!!! Unexpectedly, the origin of 'acting cute' comes from the 'majestic' dragon in Taiyuan's impression, which is very good at 'acting cute'. Our internet celebrity raises its right dragon claw to form a scissors hand gesture as if saying 'peace' to the tourists who come to visit. The wooden carved dragon in front of the Shengmu Hall of Jinci Museum has seen a surge in fans. Tourists are charmed by its cuteness, and everyone is eager to take a 'peace' photo with it. The once-lost scissors hand gesture has reappeared in the world. The Shengmu Hall was built in the ninth year of Taiping Xingguo in the Northern Song Dynasty (984 AD), with a history of over 1,000 years. It is the largest and oldest existing building in Jinci and a model of Song Dynasty architecture in China. In front of the hall, there are eight wooden carved dragons with different postures, carved in the second year of Yuanyou in the Northern Song Dynasty (1087 AD). It is also the only ancient wooden carved dragon preserved in China. Among them, the second dragon facing north is our viral internet celebrity 'Peace Dragon'. Most of its body leans forward, extending its right claw to make a 'peace' gesture, creating a stark contrast with its 'majestic' expression. The dragon's winding body, which has endured the vicissitudes of a thousand years, is in the same frame as the tourists making the same 'peace' gesture beside it, giving people an illusion of traveling through time and space...… Location: Jinci Museum, Jinci Town, Jinyuan District, Taiyuan City Ticket: Full price ticket 80 yuan/person (reservation required via WeChat), half price for students, free for seniors over 60, free for children under 6 years old and 1.2 meters, free with Taiyuan Tourism Card.
