Abstract
Dragon is a fusion of several totems combined. On the premise of this way of thinking, we revealed the formability of gold-copper carving dragon ornament in the East Asian region based on iconography. The main research subject is a harness excavated from an ancient tomb from the 4th to 7th centuries of the East A' sia region.
As a result, gold-copper carving dragon ornament asking for origins in Tri Yan's (AD 337-436) was different from the ancient Chinese ancient type that has been considered typical. Tri Yan's dragon motif was carnivorous beast type. The dynamic style inspires the influence of Lion statues in Western Asia. However, the cultural background is based on the Red Mountain culture cultivated in the Forest Zone of the Daling-He River Basin.In this area many dragons that the totems merged have been found. That era is older than snake type. This reverses the view that the origin of the dragon is the Yangtze River. Tri Yan's beast type dragon crest affected Goguryeo next door. In Goguryeo, while accepting the Triangle's beast-shaped dragon, he has undergone a unique transformation such as finding a new style. It was revealed that in Shilla, while directly receiving influence from Goguryeo, it originally produced Dragon Ornament of combined deer and bird. This figure is close to Griffin in West Asia, which is a combination of a lion and an eagle. However, Griffin of Shilla transformed through Altai culture, indicating the possibility that the cultural identity of Shilla rulers is Central Asian strain. In Japan, all elements of Tri Yan's, Goguryeo, Shilla were seen. This shows a cross section of the very diverse Japanese archipelago culture. Memories of Eurasian culture are engraved on the Japanese archipelago. In the East Asia region around the 5th century, the gold-copper carving Dragon Ornament that ended in the northern horse nomadic cultural area has been transmitted all the way to the Japanese archipelago, its dynamism and liquidity are noteworthy as a very important cultural event.
