Legends about dinosaur fossils

Legend has it that humans discovered dinosaur fossils thousands of years ago, but they didn't know the true face of these stones at that time. In ancient China, dinosaur fossils were regarded as the keel in China mythology and could be used as medicine.

In the second year of King Fu Cha of Wu (494 BC), King Fu Cha led the elite soldiers of Wu to defeat Gou Jian, the king of Yue, in Fujiao (now Mashan, Taihu Lake, Wuxi), and Huiji, the capital of Yue (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang), was also destroyed.

Wu found a big bone in Huiji, as long as a car (about 2~3 meters). No one has ever seen such a big bone. I didn't know what kind of animal it was, so Wu Pai sent a messenger to visit Confucius in Lu.

At that time, Confucius was famous for his erudition. Wu's emissary asked Confucius: What is the biggest bone in the world? Confucius said: Dayu summoned a group of immortals to Huiji Mountain. When Fang Feng was late, Dayu killed him and buried him in public.

A bone of Fang Feng is as long as a car. Fang Feng's bone is the largest in the world.

Ambassador Wu asked: As a god, what does Fang Feng (also called Wang Wang) guard? Confucius said: Wang Guojun keeps Fengshan and Yushan, and his surname is Li. In Yu, Xia and Shang dynasties, they were called Wang, in Zhou dynasty they were called Changzhai, and now they are called adults (meaning giants).

Wu Shi asked: What is a person's height? Confucius said: Toe-crossing is the shortest person, three feet tall. The tallest person is no more than ten feet (33 feet), that is, the tallest person (Fang Feng).

So Wu Shi said: awesome, saint!

Confucius is based on ancient myths and legends, but from a scientific point of view, this bone should be a dinosaur joint fossil. Throughout history and science, the most practical one should be dinosaur fossils.
