Foreword
Nowadays, the standard of living is rising, many people have begun to pursue spiritual wealth, some of them will choose to buy a dog to accompany themselves, but some people will choose to buy a cat to accompany themselves, everyone's choice is different, but most people buy these small pets to play a companion role.
Especially those who live alone, prefer to buy these cats and dogs, after all, a person is a little lonely after all, it is always good to have a cute little animal to accompany him, and the result is not surprisingly, these people who have small pets will become cat slaves or dog slaves.
However, in fact, not only in modern times, there are Mao slaves, but even in ancient times, there were many Mao slavesAnd there are many of these people who we know very well, even very famous people.
Who are these people?Next, let's enumerate how these people became cat slaves.
Since we want to give an example of cat slaves, the first thing we started to talk about must be those cat slaves in China, in ancient China, in history, many people were captured by the cute appearance of cats and cats, and became cat slaves.
These people have different identities, some are commoners, some are poets, and even the emperor was forced to become a cat slave, the first thatched house that I have not mentioned here,That is, our great poet Lu You.
I believe that many people are very familiar with Lu You's deeds, and in the textbooks we grew up in, there are many poems written by him, even if it is not an exaggeration to say that his poems have accompanied us throughout our childhood.
Although his poetry is indeed very wonderful, we cannot deny that his poetry has indeed brought us a lot of troubles, however, even if he is so talented, he actually has his own troubles.
But his troubles are not brought to him by other people, but his pets, in order to express his love for cats, he even made a few poems for cats, the key is what he does, if there are only one or two, in fact, it is not surprising,However, there is no shortage of cats in his poems.
One of the most interesting parts is that in his poems about his mental journey of slowly accepting cats, he was not a cat slave at the beginning, at most he was a person who did not hate cats, but used cats as tools.
At first, he only regarded cats as good at catching mice, and raising a kitten was just to help the family catch mice, but soon his mind underwent a series of changes, first of all, the cuteness of cats gradually touched his heart.
Then a little success captured him, and in the follow-up poems, he either praised the cuteness of the kitten, or expressed his helplessness about the kitten's disobedienceWho doesn't say a word about the cat slave after reading these contents?
Even when he corresponds with others, he will mention his cat, and he may often complain when he mentions it, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is purely a happy annoyance.
In fact, he is not the only such person, other poets also have such models, and there is even one who does not even want the small animals given by his friends, just because his cat owner is not happy.
However, it is not only these poets who love cats, but even the emperor is also deeply under the attack of catsIt is no exaggeration to say that this emperor was even called the cat slave emperor by later generations.
Of course, a cat slave is actually not bizarre, after all, the cuteness of cats is recognized by everyone, however, what everyone didn't expect is that the status of this cat is even higher than those concubines in the harem.
And this has led to a wonderful scene in the harem, other people's harems are competing for the emperor's favor, but when they come here, they have become competing to get the favor of cats.
And this is only because the cat is in **then the emperor is in**, so in order to get the emperor's attention,They will do everything in their power to get the kitten's affection.
Then use the cat to lure the emperor over to achieve the goal of competing for favor in the harem, but this is not the end, everyone knows that many people will build a tomb for themselves when they die, and wait until they die to bury themselves there. In general, these graves are buried by some of their own relatives or their own children, and few people say that pets or animals are buried in them.
However, Emperor Jiajing broke with this well-established tradition by burying his beloved cat in it, and even gave it a very loud name.
The most interesting thing is that during the Ming Dynasty, there was even a cat room specially set up to manage the palace cats, and this cat room even had a special person to manage these cats, and they would even rate these cats, and the high-level ones would be given to those princes, nobles and emperors, and those with low levels would be distributed down for the palace people to choose.
Those who are more well-behaved are naturally welcomed by many people, and the treatment will not be bad, as for being loved by the emperor, then its treatment is naturally better, anyone who has watched costume dramas should know that those people will start from the emperor's side in order to get the emperor's love.
But this dynasty is different, they started from the emperor's side cat, who got the love of this cat,Whoever gets a bright future.
Since we have finished talking about the importance of the ancients to cats, we will say that there are records about cats, in fact, in ancient times, the Chinese have had some special selection standards for cats, and now a variety of breeds of cats are different, the ancients prefer those cats with relatively pure colors.
Among them, pure white cats are the most popular, followed by pure yellow cats, and finally pure black cats, about pure black cats are not very popular, and its realization is now a bit of this trend.
After all, in China, for a long time, in traditional culture, black represents ominousness, and black cats represent bad meanings, and many people will have the idea of rejecting them after seeing black catsNot to mention getting closer, I can't even wait to see it in one second, and not to see it in the next.
Even the ancients have had different experiences in raising cats, and modern people will choose to deworm cats to prevent this situation in order to prevent fleas and other things from appearing on cats.
And the ancients also paid attention to these problems, for this reason, they summed up a way to see if there are fleas on the cat, that is, to pet the cat upside down, of course, this is due to special conditions, such as must be in a dark environment to see the difference.
As for the way to identify, it is to see if there will be Mars seeds when petting the catIf there is Mars, there will be no fleas, and the opposite will be the case.
In addition, the ancients also had some troubles about the excretion of cats, after all, in terms of the sanitary environment at that time, it was relatively poor, and the excretion of people alone required some thought, not to mention the excretion of cats.
In the same way as today, ancient cats also used cat litter, but the cat litter in ancient times was not the same as the current cat litter, the cat litter in ancient times was pure sand, and they would personally demonstrate how to use cat litter for cats, and they would only allow them to ** after the cats learned.
From this point of view, whether it is today's people or ancient people, they also have some preferences for kittens, and now they can actually understand itAfter all, cats have always used their cute appearance to confuse people.
Although it is often said that a cat is an immature creature, can you resist touching it when you see him coquettish to you?
Obviously, it is difficult to achieve this goal, of course, in addition to the ancient Chinese cat has some preference, the same is true abroad, among which Egypt even regards cats as a very sacred existence, from this point of view, they are also better than us.
