"Searching for God" quoted a Taoist saying: "The fox is an ancient prostitute named A Zi." The ancients regarded the fox as an elf, a ghost, a slutty temperament and a beautiful fairy. In addition, the legend of fox genius and the descriptions of many enchanting and amorous foxes in strange novels lead people to call sexy and charming bad women or beautiful women "foxes" in common sayings.
The story of the fox should come from the Romance of the Gods. Because Shang Zhouwang's wife, da ji, was changed from a fox in The Romance of the Gods, she puzzled Shang Zhouwang and led to the demise of the Shang Dynasty.
Wait, wait,
So this has nothing to do with Pu Songling himself. The symbol of the fox has been depicted since ancient times.
