The difference between dogs and dogs

Mainly from the size, age, scope, legend four aspects to distinguish.

1, different body types

Interpretation of Shuo Wen Jie Zi: "Dogs are also dogs. The youngest is a dog, and the biggest is a dog. " Big dog, puppy.

2. Times are different

The word "dog" was definitely produced in Oracle Bone Inscriptions, indicating that dogs were produced in a distant age, which can be traced back at least 5,000 years ago. This is the original question of dogs. The word "dog" has only been used for more than 2000 years and is a derivative title.

3, the scope is different

Dog is a general term, whether it is a large dog, a long-haired dog or a dog that is always loyal, it can be called a dog. Dogs are different. Strictly speaking, a dog is a puppy or a small dog.

4. The legend is different

Tengu is a wild animal that lives in Panze. It looks like a fox instead of an ordinary dog. Moreover, it doesn't bark like an ordinary dog, and its voice is very strange. Legend has it that Tengu is a mascot, and there will be no disaster where Tengu is. Therefore, when we all hear the name Tengu, we may think it is an unkind thing, but the fact is just the opposite.

Legend has it that Tiangou was actually swallowed by Houyi's hunting dogs to protect them from stealing the elixir of life, and was taken to the sky to form Tiangou. That dog, according to legend, is a red dog, but it is very different from a dog. As long as there are dogs in the world, there will be great unrest and unlucky and unstable things will happen. Tengu is indeed a symbol of good luck, and good things will happen where Tengu appears. So Tengu and Tengu are at odds.

Extended data

The existence and evolution of dogs are inextricably linked with the development of human civilization. Westerners praise it with exquisite works of art and regard it as the most loyal guardian. However, the status of dogs in China has always been very low. This can be seen from the archaeological discoveries unearthed in China.

In Zhoujiayoufang and other strata in Yushu County, Jilin Province, China, that is, in the late Pleistocene of Paleolithic Age, a large number of mammalian fossils were discovered from about 26,000 BC to 1000 BC. Besides human fossils, there were also "semi-fossils" of domestic dog skulls. Although some people think it belongs to Pleistocene animal fossils, more experts think it is the remains of Holocene or modern animals. This remains of domestic dogs in the Paleolithic period can show that residents in Northeast China have begun to domesticate dogs.

In other words, domestic dogs in Northeast China appeared in the late Paleolithic period, about 1 10,000 years ago. The primitive humans in Northeast China were Tunguska Mongols, so it is reasonable to think that the ancestors of Donghu, Rong, Di and Su Shen domesticated dogs, among which Rong was a famous dog-raising clan.
