The history of man and dog
Dogs have always been regarded as ancestors in the history of human society. As early as the matriarchal clan society, primitive people living in the Yellow River valley had already kept dogs, and Zhou Li set up a dog official position, specializing in dogs and sacrificial dogs. In the Han dynasty, the court set up a dog supervisor, who was the official in charge of the emperor's hunting dogs. In the Tang Dynasty, there was a kennel in Wuchang, which was the official office for keeping hunting dogs for the emperor. When human society entered the period of animal husbandry and small-scale farmers' production, dogs guarded their homes and issued alarms to look after the herds, which made great achievements for mankind.

China also has many stories and metaphors about dogs. Emperor Gaozu once called heroes outside Xiao He "Kung Fu Dogs". The four bravest generals of Genghis Khan were called four dogs. Wit and brave dogs once saved the old man Wang Nuerhachi, and Manchu people prohibited killing dogs, eating dog meat and wearing dog skin hats. Pumi, Lahu and Tibetans also have similar taboos. Guo Moruo even shouted in his new poem "Tiangou": "I am a Tiangou, I swallowed the moon, I swallowed the sky, I swallowed all the planets, I swallowed the whole universe, I am me!" Showing unparalleled positive and romantic spirit, roaring the strongest voice of the times. People in China think dogs are auspicious animals. If a dog suddenly comes to someone's house, the owner will be happy to adopt it, because it indicates the coming of wealth. As the saying goes, "cats come to work and dogs come to make a fortune". Dogs and their owners share joys and sorrows. According to the theory of Book of Rites, dogs belong to "animals with the highest yang". Cooking dog meat in the east can make the yang strong, so that everything can survive. Even Li Shizhen, a famous doctor in Ming Dynasty, realized this special function of dogs. He recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica: Artists believe that dogs can eliminate all evil spirits and witchcraft. According to Historical Records, the State of Qin cracked its feet in front of the east, south, west and north gates to prevent disasters.

Dogs are the earliest animals tamed by human beings, and they are also human friends in adversity. They are considered as human animals. The relationship between dogs and people will always be as hard to give up as the word "V", and dogs will always be centered on their owners. Examples such as "a shepherd dog travels three thousand miles to find the Lord" and "a dog rescuer" illustrate this point well, and "one dog and one horse" is used to describe loyalty.

Dogs are the earliest domesticated animals. In China, people began to domesticate dogs at least 3000 years ago in the Zhou Dynasty. There is a fairy tale that in ancient times, dogs wanted to find a reliable friend and live with him forever. It found the wolf first, and later found that the wolf was afraid of the jackal, so it went to the jackal, but the jackal was afraid of bears and dogs, so it went to the bear. As a result, bears are afraid of people and dogs. /B& gt; ; Then I realized that people's ability is the greatest, so I found people and became their friends. In fact, in zoology, dogs are divided into mammals, carnivores and canine vertebrates. There are jackals, wolves, foxes and so on in this family, so some people still think that wolves are the ancestors of dogs, so they are loved because they are absolutely obedient and loyal to their owners. As the saying goes, "A son never hates an ugly bitch." :/B& gt; ; Not too poor. "Dogs are carnivores, but in poor people's homes, eating chaff and swallowing vegetables with their owners is absolutely unwilling to leave their owners. When the owner is in danger or attacked, the dog will often come forward and show its sincerity. Although the dog is uncomfortable with his master's harsh criticism and abuse, he never strikes back or scolds his master. Dogs have been so patient and considerate for thousands of years. Thus, from a powerful assistant to a favorite partner and a best friend of mankind. & lt/P & gt;

& ltP & gt; Dogs have both a docile side and a fierce side. It obeys its master, orders and commands, but shows no mercy to its enemies. Dogs are domesticated as sheepdogs. They help their owners to manage and protect their sheep and drive away wolves that hurt them. & ltB style='color: black; Background color: # ffff66'>;; dog
