The modern name of the giant panda (i.e. the popular middle name in China), the original name was originally called Cat Bear or Big Cat Bear, which means that its face is as round and chubby as a cat, but its overall body shape is like a bear, and some even classify it as a bear.
Ursidae.
Later, because before the liberation, the writing was in straight script, the reading was from right to left, but after it was changed to horizontal script, it was from left to right. When the Beibei Museum was on display, the title was written in horizontal script, named Cat Bear, and visitors at that time
I am used to reading straight books from right to left, so I mistakenly thought it was a panda.
Since then, misinformation has spread throughout the country where it is mainly produced (Sichuan), and over time it has become common for the panda to be renamed panda.
From then on, its common middle name was giant panda, which was recognized by people.
Its local name is often called Bai Xiong, or Bai Lao Xiong, or Hua Xiong in its hometown; in the Tibetan areas of Minshan, it is called Dang or Dudongga (gǎ), and among the Baimadab people in Pingwu, it is called Dongga;
The Yi people in Liangshan are called Equ.
Although all these place names have different names, their meanings are the same as those called Pixiu or Tapir in ancient books. They just mean that its body color is white, or black and white, or its body shape is like a bear.
Other names for giant pandas include Chinese bear, bamboo bear, silver dog and giant raccoon.
The name "giant raccoon" comes from the fact that it is closely related to raccoons (many scholars still include it in the raccoon family), but it is larger than raccoons.
Silver Dog, this is because the local name and commercial name of the red panda is Golden Dog, and the corresponding panda is white in color, so it is called Silver Dog.
The bamboo bear is so named because its main food is bamboo and it resembles a bear.
Hua Xiong shows that it is a rare and exotic animal unique to the Chinese nation.
Praise of the Tapir Screen Bai Juyi's work "Praise of the Tapir Screen" (the third year of Changqing, about 823 AD, the full text of the appendix is ??as follows) Tapirs, with elephant trunks, rhinoceros eyes, ox tails and tiger feet, were born in the southern valleys.
Sleep next to it to ward off plague, and draw its shape to ward off evil spirits.
If you have an old illness called head wind, you will often use a small screen to protect your head every time you sleep.
When I meet a painter, I occasionally order him to write it.
According to the Classic of Mountains and Seas, this beast eats iron and copper, but not other food.
Because of confusion.
Then he praised it and said: Miao Zai, this beast was born in the southern country.
Its name is tapir, and it will not eat anything but iron.
In ancient times, people's hearts were loyal.
The order of conquest came from the emperor.
Swords and halberds are used sparingly, and copper and iron are abundant.
The tapir is full of food all day long.
For three generations, kings and laws have been inconsistent.
The iron is a soldier, the copper is a Buddha.
The Buddha statues are growing day by day, and the weapons are growing day by day.
Where is the mountain without production? Where is the valley without treasure? There is nothing left behind even an inch of baht, copper, and iron.
It's such a pity that tapir is useless.
Woohoo! The sorrow of the bandit tapir is the sorrow of the times! The most popular animal in recent times is undoubtedly the panda.
In ancient China, its alias was also called "tapir".
There are many descriptions by literati (Note: Taiping Yulan 908 volumes, 20 volumes of beasts. There are detailed information), but the most interesting and special one is Bai Juyi's "Praise to the Tapir Screen".
The reason for the article is as follows: Bai Juyi originally had a headache, so he invited a painter to draw a picture of a cat and panda on the screen.
