Japan’s dragon god belief originat ed from China,but after the introduction of Japan,in the process of dissemination and formation,the dragon god belief and Japanese native culture combined,after thousands of years of local transformation,excluding some because of similar regions and similar folk dragon god belief.the modem period of the two countries dragon god belief overall difference.It is very difficult to explore the relationship between Chinese and Japanese dragon gods and the process of localization of Japanese dragon gods The Heian period can be used as a period of mass spread and formation of dragon god belief in Japan,as well as a transitional period from the original dragon god belief introduced by China to the local dragon god belief in Japan.In the Heian period,although the Japanese dragon god belief in the process of formation,localization has begun to appear,but this period has not been a large number of transformation,the Chinese dragon god belief trace is clear,the Chinese dragon god belief similarities are many and still in this period in the dragon god belief introduction,absorption stage,it is easy to find out which is from the original dragon god belief in china.If we compare the ancient and modern Japanese belief of dragon god,we can find that the belief of Japanese dragon god in the Heian period has shown the preference of Japanese in the choice of dragon god belief culture and the trend of localization.This kind of cultural preference of dragon god belief is the cultural factor of Japanese core dragon god belief.Understanding this cultural preference is helpful to grasp the general development direction of the localization of Japanese dragon god belief and to promote the study of the localization of Japanese dragon god belief In order to clarify the relationship between the Chinese and Japanese Dragon God beliefs and the process of localization of the Japanese Dragon God beliefs,it is very important to the Dragon God beliefs in the Heian period.Before the formation of Japanese dragon god belief,dragon culture had been introduced into Japan through various ways with Chinese culture,and Buddhist dragon king belief had also been introduced into Japan with Buddhism,which laid the ideological foundation for the spread and popularity of dragon god belief in Japan.During the Tang and Song dynasties,China set off the trend of dragon god belief which.promoted the spread of dragon god belief in Japan with the trend of Japan actively introducing Chinese culture.During the Heian period of Japan,a large number of ways to pray for rain to the Dragon God and official rain activities appeared.Although there were different kinds of dragon gods at that time,it was obvious that the object of belief was dragon gods.It can be inferred that during the Heian period,the belief of Japanese dragon god formed and appeared the trend of praying for rain to dragon god.In addition to the emergence of dragon god rain trend.but also emerged a lot of larger impact of dragon god.These dragon gods have emerged or become popular since the Heian period,and still have their legendary footprints throughout Japan until modern times.Before the Heian period,the concept and method of praying for rain to the dragon god appeared in Japan,but in the Heian period,the trend and system of the dragon god belief became more obvious.Compared with other periods,the belief of dragon god in heian period not only has relatively unique characteristics,but also has an important influence on Japanese native culture.
