Hush, don't go to the temple. What do you mean?
So, why can't a domestic dog stand on the top of its own earthen cave and watch it in its own yard?
The old people in rural areas say that once a domestic dog runs to the top of its own cave and looks down, it means that the domestic dog "bullies the owner", and the domestic dog becomes a "dog ghost", which will lead to the separation of people in the family. Only by killing the domestic dog immediately can we "crack", otherwise, we will be afraid of hurting people.
do we feel ridiculous after hearing this statement from the rural elderly? A domestic dog is just a dog. How can it become a "dog ghost"? Does it stand on the top of its own earth cave and look down, which will lead to casualties? Surely not!
In the former countryside, many families kept domestic dogs. The so-called domestic dog is actually a kind of local dog.
the local dog is called the Chinese garden dog. Local dogs are generally not very big, and their weight is about 15-25 kilograms. Moreover, local dogs prefer omnivores, and although they also eat meat, they are not carnivorous.
local dogs are widely distributed, and they are kept almost all over the country. However, in the northern region, local dogs are called shiba dogs or stupid dogs; In the south, local dogs are called grass dogs.
In China, local dogs have gone through thousands of years or even tens of thousands of years of natural and artificial screening, resulting in different appearance and habits of local dogs. But generally speaking, compared with primitive local dogs, there is not much difference between modern local dogs.
It is said that Qin Shihuang was very fond of raising local dogs, and he often took a yellow local dog out to play. Li Si, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, lamented before his execution: "If I want to lead the yellow dog out again, I will go to Cai and chase the cunning rabbit at the East Gate, how can I get it!" I want to take rhubarb dog out of the East Gate to chase rabbits with you again, but I can't.
Generally speaking, local dogs are docile, not easy to attack humans actively, and can live in groups or live alone. They have strong adaptability to the region, are very easy to raise, have high loyalty, and are not easy to breed various skin diseases. Therefore, it is deeply loved by many farmers.
In the past, local dogs were often used for hunting and guarding homes. It is said that the local dog is a "master" of catching rabbits. A well-trained adult local dog can catch more than five rabbits in one night, so that the whole family of the dog owner can often eat rabbit meat. Therefore, all farmers who like to eat meat have local dogs.
In addition, due to the high loyalty of the local dog, many families have entrusted the local dog with the responsibility of guarding the house, and they have entrusted the safety responsibility of the farm yard to the local dog no matter day or night.
