Why is there such a saying that "the dog will live in the afterlife, and the cat will be in trouble"?
There is a folk saying that "dogs make money and cats bring filial piety" has a long history! Why do you say that? This is a good start: 12 in the zodiac, there is a dog without a cat, the dog is in autumn, in the gossip position, in the northeast. As we all know, the northeast is an auspicious location, so divination is auspicious, just like dog divination. Moreover, flying stars are broken stars, and Wu Quxing divines western gold, while the concept of Huang Kim Jae Jung people is wealth, so there are dogs in the folk to make money. In addition, the dog barks "Wang, Wang", and the people take its auspicious meaning and like dogs; Why do people say that cats come to mourn (that is, the dead)? This is also related to the Book of Changes. As we all know, the cat didn't enter the 12 zodiac, but the cat's brother, Tiger, entered, ranking very high. Tiger is the white tiger among the four geomantic beasts. On the other hand, Qinglong is the God of Jiqing, and Baihu naturally owes the God of Jiqing. In Feng Shui, the same is true. When playing divination, the white tiger is faced with money and consumes it. When seeking medical treatment, the white tiger was terminally ill. This cat came here for no reason, not because it was a "white tiger funeral"! So it's unlucky for the cat to come!
