Poetry: Ancient poets also wrote several poems praising dogs: Yuan Zhen said, "Oolong is silent, but Bi Wang once admired it." Bai Juyi "Oolong lies still and bluebirds fly in succession." Li Shangyin "knows that the pavilion is still inclined, and he is jealous of killing Oolong and lying in gold and silver." Mei Yao Chen "The barren path has been hurried, and the dog walks alone." Fan Chengda "went to Xiqiao with the yellow dog and suddenly returned." Lu You "The dog is happy to return to Ye Ying Road, and the nest is stable in the low branches." Dogs play an important role in these poems. "Chai Men smells dogs barking and returns to people in the snowy night." On a snowy night, such gentle barking of dogs gives distant travelers the warmth of their families. It is poetic to call the barking dog the beautiful sound of beautiful rural scenery, "but listening to the coyote's firewood" and "the partition is still calling flowers"
In modern times, someone wrote a dog song:
Dog, you have two teeth in your mouth. They say you can never spit ivory in your mouth. Dog, you have a low eye for people. That's your height. Dog, your nose is really smart. Smell, smell, smell your body. Dog, your tail is wagging. It turns out that you can't be happy without him. A good doll with a dog's head, brain, body and tail never feels poor at home, sleeps at home every day, never steals anything and never plays tricks. Dog, you are so dirty that you can stand the hardships of life at a glance. Dog, you run so fast. You must have invested in that sports family in your last life, a good doll with a dog's head, a dog's brain and a dog's tail, a good doll who never felt poor, sleeping at home every day, not stealing or making trouble, woof, woof,
Friends who belong to dogs don't have to worry about finding the advantages of dogs; Pupils don't have to worry about writing a composition, for fear that they can't find a positive theme about dogs. The interpretation of idioms and allegorical sayings should also keep pace with the times, so that it will soon change from scolding dogs to praising them:
Dogs over the wall: dogs have high jump skills and strong emergency ability.

Selling dog meat by hanging sheep's head: dogs are the first animals to propose counterfeiting. In the south, there is no longer the phenomenon of selling dog meat by hanging sheep's head, but there will be things of selling mutton by hanging dog's head. Because southerners love to eat dog meat pots in winter, there is a saying that "dog meat rolls three times, and the gods can't bear it." Sometimes the price of dog meat is higher than that of mutton.

Dogs bite mice-mind your own business: this is a brave virtue. When rats cross the street, everyone shouts, and dogs should be praised and rewarded, not poured cold water on them.
1870 An American, Faust's Ode to a Dog, expresses the simplest, purest and most precious feelings of a dog to its owner incisively and vividly. Therefore, it has become a classic chapter loved by dog lovers all over the world with its powerful appeal, which is highly respected and told by thousands of people, and its influence has never weakened. Here I will quote the full text to praise the dogs in the foreign population.
"In this world, a person's friends may oppose him and become enemies; The children he cultivated with love may also become disloyal and unfilial. Those who feel closest to him, those who believe in all happiness and fame, may abandon loyalty and become rebellious. The money a person has may fly away when it is most needed; A person's reputation may be destroyed in a moment of thoughtlessness. Those who always kneel and flatter when we succeed are probably the ones who throw the first sinister stone when the cloud of failure hangs over our heads.
In this selfish world, the only unselfish friend, the only friend who doesn't dislike him, and the only ungrateful friend is his dog.
Whether the owner is poor or rich, healthy or sick, the dog will stay with him. As long as it can get close to its owner, it will lie beside its owner no matter whether the ground is cold and hard, the wind is cold and the snow is falling. Even if the owner has no food to feed, it will lick the owner's hand and the ball on it to resist the trauma of this cold world. Even if the master is a beggar, he will accompany him like a guardian prince. When all his friends turned away, it turned back. When wealth disappears and its reputation is discredited, its love for its master is as eternal as the sun running in the sky. If its owner is tricked by fate and becomes a homeless tramp, this loyal dog will still accompany its owner, share weal and woe, and fight the enemy without any extravagant demands. When the end of everything comes, death takes away the owner's life, and the body is buried in the cold underground. Even if all relatives and friends go their separate ways, this noble dog will guard the grave alone. It looks up at the same place between its feet. Although its eyes are full of sadness, it still guards its loyalty warily until death do us part. "
Dog, you are our closest friend, the savior of righteous dog and the rat catcher of good dog. How can I not praise you when I go there to find your good friend?

Allusions about dogs
Let's take a look at our Chinese first. In Chinese, dogs really have no good reputation. Try to think of a few words about dogs, such as "dog fights man's potential", "dog's leg", "chicken calls dog thieves" and "meat buns hit dogs-there is no return" ... Some people say that a good dog will not get in the way-that is subjunctive mood. Dogs have shown us the way for 3 thousand years, but they have no particularly good reputation.
Westerners seem to have a much better attitude towards dogs. Dogs are regarded as "man's best friends", not the best slaves. The cold and humorous British even dare to play jokes on dogs with their omnipotent God-standing upside down and writing God upside down. Isn't God a dog?
Since it is recognized as the best friend of mankind, it is easy to understand the status and equality of dogs in the family. Many families name their dogs children and name their dogs after their favorite people, such as basketball and football stars, their grandparents' names, or favorite brands. So you can see countless interesting dog names in the United States, such as "Marilyn Monroe" and "Budweiser Beer". I once knew an Englishman who lived in Hong Kong. I am reluctant to leave Hong Kong, where I have lived for more than ten years, because I miss the British days before the return of Hong Kong. Sadly, he named his cat Patten-the name of the last governor of Hong Kong.
Loving dogs is also considered a virtue, and beautiful women will tell you to love me, love dogs, love me? Love me, love my dog, a bit like China's "love me, love my dog", but the realm is much higher. Previous presidential candidates always like to emphasize how close they are to dogs, which shows how important it is for them to vote for dog lovers. (Figure) Now you understand why you should never brag to your foreigner friends about how delicious "Huajiang dog meat" is in winter. It is the same as cannibalism to foreigners.
Just after China's reform and opening up, the first batch of foreigners came to China. At that time, China people's thoughts had not yet begun to go to the extreme of westernization. China people always like to get angry collectively, but they don't go west to east. Therefore, the swearing family is a "capitalist running dog", and the swearing family in China doesn't understand it, so someone who is good at learning English translates it into English: "capitalist running dog" (this swearing person is really learning English ...). However, gnashing your teeth makes people happy, but the person who is scolded is puzzling. Foreigners think that it is really a good name for China people to call them running dogs, so they are silent, lying on the ground and yelling at the school, saying, "I love running dogs, I am running dogs!" "(I love running dogs, I am running dogs. ) At this time, the people of China were completely confused. What does this man imply?
It can be seen how terrible it is to learn a language without paying attention to the culture behind it.
So our topic begins with culture. This column of classic allusions hopes to start with some small allusions and stories behind English and try to get in touch with some western cultures and ways of thinking. Just like your textbook knowledge, stories and allusions are just some knowledge, not learning. We don't need to recite allusions, the key is what allusions are saying.
The essence of culture is not what, but why. Smart, you must know what I mean.
Story: = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Every dog has its own day.
In the 5th century BC, the ancient Greek poet Pindaros wrote in his mourning poem: Therefore, every dog finally has its own day-smiling in the morning and sad at night. I think you can see that the dog in front of the poem is not a dog, but a metaphor for a "flat man" However, this poem has been handed down out of context and has become a proverb we often say today: a dog will have a dog one day, which means "a man will have a dog one day"-not far from our China proverb "The wind and water turn" and "Thirty years east, thirty years west".
When your good friend accidentally misses an opportunity, or succeeds in a near miss, be sure to give him the strongest hug and tell him with a smile:
Relax! You know what they say, everyone has his day, and you will have yours! Hey! Don't take it too personally. You know, the tables have turned, and I will go to your house tomorrow.
In the dog days
If you have your day, today is really a good day, but if you are in dog days, it is not a good thing. Dog days refer to the hottest weeks in summer. It usually refers to the third week of July and the fourth week of August, which is equivalent to the "dog days" in China.
Ancient astrologers found that Sirius always rises and sets with the sun in the hottest weeks in the south every year. Sirius's nickname is Dog Star. So in Latin, people use the root "can" representing dogs to represent Sirius "canicular". Therefore, this hot period is called dies caniculars (Sirius Day), which is written as canicular days in English and is popular among the people, that is, dog days.
Of course, there is another saying that may not seem so difficult to understand. When it is hot, dogs will stick out their tongues to gasp, so this kind of weather that can make dogs gasp is called dog days, a hot period in summer.
Food bag
We call pigs piglets and kittens kittens, so we also call our beloved dogs puppies. Dog food bag literally means "dog's box". But it's just a beautiful lie. It is difficult for dogs to enjoy a good meal in the dog food bag. Westerners always finish their food when they go to restaurants. It's a waste to throw it away at this time, and it's a bit embarrassing to ask to pack it home, so people often say, "Help me pack it, I want to go home and give it to my puppy." Over time, this kind of bag with leftovers is called dog food bag.
The next time you face a table full of leftovers, don't forget to raise your hand and say loudly, "waiter, I want a doggy bag!" " . You know, saving face is better than wasting face.

2006 is the year of the dog. In China's long and colorful folk culture, knowledge about dogs is one of its important components.
Dogs were widely kept in all walks of life in ancient times.
Since writing came into being, there have been written records about dogs. There are pictographs of dogs in The Book of Songs compiled by Lei Wen, and there is a poem "I am happy without feeling, barking without being a donkey" in The Book of Songs. There are many aliases for dogs in ancient books: puppies are called "You", fighting dogs are called "Hu", and those who are good at hunting and guarding homes are called "Good Dogs". Zhou Li called dog owners "dog people". In the Han Dynasty, the official position of dog training was called "dog supervisor". Some famous historical figures have also served in the dog prison. For example, Li Yannian once "gave things to dogs", and the writer Sima Xiangru wanted to see Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which had a lot to do with his fellow countryman Yang Deyi becoming a dog jail. Liu Yuxi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, said: "When you re-enter the Dragon House, you should say that you are like a dog." There is also Wang Bo's poem, "Han dogs are close friends and will drive the crossbow back one day." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty even built a "dog palace" for dogs. "Sanfu Huang Tu" contains: "Dog Palace, in Shanglin Garden, 28 miles west of Chang 'an", and there is a "dog view" outside the "Dog Palace". The social stability of a place is often described as "the cock crows and the dog barks" in the history books of the Han Dynasty.
It is said that there are about 125 kinds of dogs in China. According to historical records, the tallest dog in ancient times was over 1 m, the shortest was only 20 cm, the heaviest dog was 1.20 kg, and the lightest dog was less than 2.5 kg.
The ancients regarded dogs as auspicious and precious things.
In the "good omen" of past dynasties, dogs were listed as auspicious and rich things. There are many records in ancient and modern books. White dogs are auspicious and precious. There is also a legend among the people that "Wang Ren sees a white dog". According to experts of Yin and Yang in ancient times, dogs belong to the golden destiny in the twenty-eight nights, and they are called Lou Golden Dogs.
The ancients liked to name dogs after them.
The ancients regarded dogs as rich and auspicious things, so they were often named after dogs and dogs. Open an ancient history of China, and many people are named after dogs. It is not uncommon in cultural relics and archaeological materials unearthed in modern times. For example, princes named after "dog" and "dog" include Tao Yang Xiang in the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Ruyi, born to Mrs. Qi, was nicknamed "dog", and a son in the Eastern Han Dynasty was named "tiger dog", also called Xiang. Writer Sima Xiangru, also known as "Dog", Jin Dynasty poet Tao Yuanming, nicknamed "Creek Dog". As for the common people, there are more dogs. People often named their children after dogs, not only because of their auspicious accidents, but also because dogs were popular in ancient society and parents loved dogs, so they named their children after dogs. In Song Dynasty, because both Song Huizong and Zhao Ji belonged to dogs, Song people regarded dogs as gods. Not only do they not kill or eat dogs, but they also take dogs as their surnames and first names.
Dogs were the right-hand man of the ancients.
"Lun Heng" says: "A dead hound is in the mountains, calling its dog name, and its dog barks and responds to its owner. People are different from dogs, and those who answer the call know their owners. " "Ji Qin" said: "There is a cangue castle in Qin Xianggong. Where there is a thief, the dog barks to catch it, and the castle will be safe. " The land machine of the Jin Dynasty was blocked by something in Luoyang, the capital, and his dog passed letters between the capital and his hometown. Li He, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, mentioned this in his poem "Dog Book Has Been to Los Angeles". It is not uncommon to use dogs to serve the combatants directly. "Biography of Zhang Jingda in the Five Dynasties" records: "The Khitan soldiers surrounded Zhang Jingda, the general of the Jin Dynasty, and dogs barked on all sides. The Jin Army went out at night and the dogs barked at the police, and no one broke through. Defeated by Qidan, Zhang Jingda was killed by Jin. "
Dogs also have the ability to predict earthquakes. They had abnormal reactions within half an hour to two days before the earthquake. 1920, an earthquake of magnitude 8.5 occurred in Haiyuan, Ningxia. On the night of the earthquake, dogs in a village in Xiji County ran out of the village and barked loudly, which was frightening. An old man in the village went out to have a look. Hardly had he left the village when the earthquake happened and the old man survived.
Dog-loving style in ancient words
The ancients often used dogs as metaphors, which was also common in ancient literature. For example, after Liu Bang unified the world and established the Han Dynasty, Xiao He's most outstanding contribution was to be named Hou, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the military commanders who fought bloody battles. Liu Bang skillfully compared "hunting dogs", "human dogs", "meritorious dogs" and "meritorious people", saying that Xiao He was a "meritorious person" with unparalleled contributions, and all military commanders were dispatched by him. For example, Liu Bang tied Han Xin to a prison car and tried to kill him, while Han Xin shouted "A wily rabbit dies, a good dog cooks", which is a metaphor for a good dog. I hope Liu Bang can remember his great achievements and be lenient. The ancients often condescended to be dogs and horses. For example, Zhao Chongguo called his age "the teeth of dogs and horses". There is also a kind of "dog-horse decision" which means simply and decisively, such as "it has a dog-horse decision and is unstoppable." There are interactive and dangerous landforms represented by tiger teeth, such as "the emperor's high seal is too high, and the land is in harmony with tiger teeth, which is called rock Sect." Some people use the warning of barking dogs to compare the border war, such as "the warning of barking dogs in the third world." Some people use barking as a metaphor for the loyalty of officials, such as "a dog barking at its feet is Yao, Yao is not ruthless, and the dog is not its owner."
Nowadays, the growing dog fever.
In recent years, with the social stability, economic development and the continuous improvement of people's living standards in China, the trend of keeping dogs has quietly risen all over the country. Some cities have established a "pet market", and dogs with different prices have been listed one after another, attracting many pet lovers.
From ancient times to the present, dogs are indeed the right-hand man in human production and life. Documents about dogs, unearthed cultural relics related to dogs, and even classical literary works describing dogs are all part of our national cultural treasure house. While discussing the traditional culture of the motherland, it is of certain significance to explore the custom of keeping dogs in ancient times.
