Why is dog gouging regarded as a bad omen?

Dog gouging pits are caves dug by dogs in the ground, which are usually used to hide food or make holes. In the ancient culture of China, digging dogs was regarded as an ominous sign, because it was related to death and funeral.

First of all, the shape of the dog gouging pit is very similar to that of an ancient coffin. People think that the appearance of dog chisel indicates that there may be death at home, just like people in ancient times prepared coffins.

Secondly, the food and rotten things stored in the dog pit may attract insects such as mosquitoes and flies, and may also attract pests such as mice. These insects and pests are associated with disease, pollution and death. Therefore, the dog plane is regarded as an unlucky symbol.

Besides, the status of dogs in China culture is not high. In traditional culture, dogs are often regarded as unclean animals because they often lick their anus and virgin land. So things related to dogs will bring negative meanings, such as barking and shit.

Generally speaking, although modern society's views on dog planing have changed, in ancient times, dog planing was indeed regarded as an ominous sign. It is associated with death, disease, etc. , and the resulting unlucky symbols have always existed in China culture, deeply affecting people's lives and thoughts.
