These are commonly called "Pig" dragons because of their general likeness to a pig. The first four images above (L to R) show the typical form of Pig dragons during the Neolithic period, 6,500 to 4,000 years ago. The fifth image is that of a Shang Dynasty Pig dragon that has been flattened so that the body and the head are of the same thickness, the ears have become a cowell across the top of the head, and the slit between the tail and the head has been closed. In the last two images, the dragon has been totally flattened around a large central hole, forming a bi, which is a ceremonial object used as a bridge to the world of the sacred. The earlier Neolithic forms are usually found in graves, as shown in the picture at the lower left.
Next to the burial photo is a fully rendered Tao tei, that is used to decorate all manner of objects that are used to intercede with God, the ancestors, lesser gods and spirits, and creatures of the netherworld. Many believe that Pig dragons are representations of Tao tei.
To the right of the Tao tei there are representations of silk worm dragons. Silk worms emerge in a curled posture which later scholars likened to the Pig dragon. This is a notion that was expressed by Guan Zhong (723-645 BC): "When the dragon wishes to be small it changes into a silkworm. Yet when it wants to be big, it can fill the entire universe."
