Tracing back to history

Lions and cats in Linqing, China have been raised for 200 to 300 years. Tracing back to the origin of Linqing lioness cat in Shandong, China, it is the offspring of Persian cat and Luxi civet cat. Its cultivation and formation are closely related to the spread of Islam and the opening of the canal. As early as Jiajing to Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Linqing, which was located at the intersection of the Grand Canal and Zhangwei River, gradually formed the largest handicraft and commercial city in western Shandong. A large number of European businessmen and missionaries poured in. The Persian cat they brought had the chance to mate with Luxi cat, so the lioness cat in Linqing, China appeared. [5] Because the ancestor of the lionfish is Persia, they are of Persian descent and belong to the Persian family (there are more than 80 varieties in the Persian family, such as Jinjila, Himalaya and Yiduan, which are all bred from Persia and other varieties), many people call the lionfish a Persian cat. According to the records of Linqing County, the lion cat is bigger than ordinary people, with a long tail mopping the floor, white as snow, and the mandarin duck eye is the most expensive. There are many animals in North Street, which is strange. Cao Kejia, a famous cat painting expert, once praised: "There are no animals with different eyes in the world, and only Linqing, Shandong Province has a cat with different eyes." Because of its preciousness, it was often paid tribute to the palace in the old days. History shows that Emperor Jiajing of Ming Dynasty pampered a lioness cat in Yongshou Palace in Xiyuan, and later died, regretting it in the world. In order to make a golden coffin and bury it at the foot of Wanshou Mountain, his righteous life was to value all the old people and to be a writer, and he recommended a degree of super life. Yuan Wei, a bachelor lecturer, said in his eulogy that "turning lions into dragons". In order to invite the emperor to spoil him, he was promoted to less slaughter, and he was a loyal man, adding a product to the cabinet.
