In early society, productivity was low, people lived in harsh natural environment, and they could not control the natural forces independently, nor could they explain their own sources. They were full of illusions, longings and even fears about nature, and worshipped all kinds of natural or supernatural forces stronger than human beings. This is the social basis for the emergence of totems and ghosts.

The formation of the dragon totem can be traced back to the ancient Fuxi era, when Fu Xishi took snakes as the totem. According to ancient books, Fu Xishi was born in Chengji and ruled Chencang, both in Chen. He reigned for one hundred and fifty years and passed on to the fifteenth. Fu Xishi originated in Chengji, and after its development, it entered Guanzhong along the Weihe River Valley, left Tongguan, moved eastward next to Xiaoshan, Wangwu Mountain and Taihang Mountain, then turned to the southeast, and finally ended in Chen. This activity area is generally consistent with the distribution area of Yangshao cultural ancient sites.
