Cat slaves and dog slaves have existed since ancient times, and the ancient people's love for cats and dogs is no worse than that of modern times. Here we will have a big competition to see who is the real pet overlord.

Lu Ji, Zhang Ran, Su Shi, and yongzheng emperor are the famous people who stood in line for dogs. Let's take a look at how these celebrities love dogs:

Lu Ji, a famous writer in the Western Jin Dynasty, is famous for his articles, and he has written "On the Death" and "Ping Fu Tie".

gifted scholar Lu da keeps a dog named "Huang Er". This dog has a special skill-delivering express.

Lu Ji's hometown is in Wujun, which is thousands of miles away from Luoyang. It takes more than 51 days for people to walk this journey. However, it takes only half a month for Huang Er to run from Luoyang to Wujun with letters and then from Wujun to Luoyang with letters.

Eat grass when you are hungry, and wag your tail when you meet the river and let the old driver take you. I said brother Lu Ji, your dog is so amazing, just open a courier company.

Later, "Huang Er" died, and Lu Ji specially transported it back to his hometown with a coffin for burial. People in the village called this grave "Huang Er Tomb". This should be the first grave built for dogs in the world.

The story of "Huang Er sending a book" has been widely praised, attracting countless great poets to write poems for it. For example, Mei Yaochen, a poet in the Song Dynasty, wrote in his poem:

"The Lujia brothers are bitter in the west, and Huang Er's letters are almost familiar."

it seems that in ancient times, "yellow ear" has become synonymous with mobile phones, wechat and QQ.

Modern people use the word "Oolong" to mean "muddleheaded".

However, according to Tao Qian's "Searching for the Gods" in the Jin Dynasty, "Oolong" is a dog's name:

"Zhang Ran, a man from Huiji, stayed in service for years and never returned. A woman has an affair with a slave, but she keeps a dog named Oolong.

This "Oolong" also has a special skill-catching rape.

once, Zhang Ran's wife committed adultery with a domestic slave, and the domestic slave was going to kill Zhang Ran while he was sleeping. At the critical moment, Oolong appeared to bite the domestic slave and saved the master's life. From this point of view, Oolong is simply the nemesis of Lao Wang next door.

"Oolong" became famous in World War I and was praised by poets in past dynasties.

Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, said:

"Oolong lies still, while bluebirds fly towards each other."

Li Shangyin also mentioned Oolong in a poem:

"I know from a distance that the small pavilion is still slanting, and I envy killing Oolong and lying in Jinyin."

The poem is really good, but I just want to ask, are there any special circumstances at home because the two great poets like Oolong so much?

Su Dongpo, a great writer, is also a dog lover. When he was demoted to Hainan, he had a dog named Wuzui. Su Shi wandered around with his black mouth all day, which added fun to his depressed career.

Later, when Su Shi left Hainan for the north, he also took the dog with him. Su Shi also wrote a poem specially for "Wu Zui".

The black-billed sea mastiff is lucky that I am the master.

the leftovers have been fattened, so I don't worry about the pot.

tame guests by day, and be fierce by night.

knowing that I should return to the north, I want to dance after losing my tail.

jump and take advantage of the servant, spit out your tongue and catch your breath.

the long bridge refuses to creep, and its diameter is clear and deep.

Float like a goose and duck, and land to play the tiger.

stealing meat is also a small flaw, and the whip should be yours.

thank you again, and heaven will not send words.

why send a letter from home? Huang Er must be the ancestor.

Su Shi not only likes dogs himself, but also was the first person who opposed eating dogs in ancient times. Su Shi is a famous gourmet. He eats all kinds of delicious food in the world, but he doesn't eat dog meat.

Su Shi once said:

"A dog should be buried when it is dead, and can't bear to eat its meat. How can it be killed when it is available?"

Perhaps it is the close relationship between Su Shi and Wu Zui that makes him feel pity for dogs. ? It was in the Song Dynasty that the saying that "dog meat doesn't serve" became popular.

yongzheng emperor is famous for his diligence in history, but the diligent emperor also has a special hobby, that is, keeping dogs.

/ Yongzheng loves dogs with a look of disgust /

Yong Zhengdi personally named these dogs, and two of them are his favorites.

/ Yongzheng loves dogs /

Yongzheng likes cosplay himself, so he likes cosplay when he keeps dogs.

/ Yong Zhengdi who loves to play cosplay /

In the imperial edict of Yongzheng, there are more than twenty ways to make clothes for dogs. For example, on July 6th, the first year of Yongzheng, an edict was issued:

"Make a unicorn coat, a tiger coat and two horse coats for the dog, all made of good rat suān and other hairs."

This imperial edict made four sets of clothes for dogs.

Yong Zhengdi's love for dogs is not only reflected in his clothes, but also his own custom-made dog cages, kennels, dog pads and other appliances. In the sixth year of Yongzheng, he ordered people to make an exquisite puppy cage, which was made of bamboo and covered with Tibetan wool. It seems that there is a girl's heart under the appearance of Yongzheng's overbearing president.

There are many famous people who stand in line for cats, including Emperor Jiajing, Zhang Zhidong, Huang Tingjian, Ji Xianlin, etc. It seems that the Cat Lovers Alliance is still better!

Su Shi likes keeping dogs, but his student Huang Tingjian likes keeping cats. Huang Tingjian keeps cats for nothing but catching mice. One day, his old cat died and rats ran wild.

Huang tingjian heard that other people's cats were going to give birth to babies, so he quickly asked others for one and prepared the fish that cats like to eat, waiting for the arrival of the kittens.

For this reason, he also wrote a poem "Begging for a Cat":

"Qiu Lai rats bullied the cat to death, and peeped at the urn to turn over the basin and stir the night sleep. I heard that the raccoon slave will count the children, buy fish and wear a willow to hire a cicada. "

Huang Tingjian looked around, and his good friend Joo Won? sent a cat.

Huang Tingjian also wrote a song "Send a Cat to Xie Zhouyuan" for this purpose:

"Keeping a raccoon slave has made great achievements, and the general's fine willows have a family style, which makes the fish meal thin, and the walls often make the rat's den empty."

In the poem, Huang Tingjian compares the cat to the famous general Zhou Yafu, thanking "General Meow" for bravely catching rats and relieving himself from rodent infestation.

The emperor who loved cats the most in history was Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty.

According to the book "Deliberating on the Records of the Inner Government Office",

"The cat room caters to three or four people, and specializes in feeding the famous cats in the imperial court. Those who are loved by the sacred heart will also be promoted to the post of steward."

Jia Jing specially set up a "cat room" for his beloved cats, and sent the imperial court attendants to wait on them. Jiajing's favorite cat, named Shuang Mei, was inseparable from him.

When Frost Mei ran to the palace gate of any empresses, Jiajing slept in this empresses' house. Emperor Jiajing did not go to court for more than twenty years, but he often played with Mei Shuang. Sure enough, people are not as good as cats, and it is better to tease cats in court.

Later, this pet cat died. According to "Wan Liye was compiled",

"It was a pity that it was made into a golden coffin and buried at the foot of Wanshou Mountain; He also lives in the value of the elderly as a text, and the recommendation is super-high. "

Jiajing was so sad that he didn't eat or drink for several days. He specially built a good coffin and grave for it and buried it in today's Jingshan Park, named "Qilong Tomb".

Yuan Wei, a bachelor lecturer, was appreciated by Emperor Jiajing for writing the sentence "Turning a lion into a dragon". Later, he was promoted to Shaozai, added a product to the cabinet and enjoyed all the splendor.

Zhang Zhidong, Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang were also called "four famous ministers" in the late Qing Dynasty. In front of outsiders, he is a provincial official with unlimited scenery, but in his own home, he is a veritable generation of cat slaves.

There are dozens of cats in Zhang Zhidong's house, and with the stray cats foraging at home, it's a riot.

This group of old cats urinated at home all day, and Zhang Zhidong was not angry. Instead, he told his servants:

"Cats are ignorant, so you can't blame them. If people are like this, you can't forgive them."

indeed, the rights of cats are greater than human rights.

people stay with animals for a long time, and they gradually become infected with the habits of animals.

Zhang Zhidong likes cats, so he eats like a cat and walks like a cat. Instead of sitting on a chair, I like to squat on the ground with my cat around my waist.

Zhang Zhidong also has a habit of sleeping at two o'clock in the afternoon, working at ten o'clock in the evening, and then working all night. Therefore, Xu Zhixiang, the priest of Dali Temple, joined Zhang Zhidong:

"Live in harmony, and give orders all the time."

what a veritable "night owl".

There are many writers in modern times, all of whom are famous cat slaves. Bing Xin keeps a cat named Mimi. Lao She wrote an article called My Cat.

Ji Xianlin even caused family discord in order to keep cats. Feng Zikai not only painted cats, but also wrote about them. He specially published a book to record the interesting things between him and cats.

The writer cares about animals, and animals bring inspiration to the writer. Since ancient times, it is precisely because of the intimate feelings between these people and animals that many wonderful articles and topics have been brought to us.
