Thousands of years ago, donkeys were still wild, and later domesticated by humans, becoming a powerful helper for people's production and life.
The donkey is a close relative of the horse, but it does not have the handsome, straight posture and slender limbs of the horse.
The five short figures born of the donkey are not good at running, the head is big and the ears are long, and their appearance is not proud, but they are good assistants for people to ride and farm for thousands of years. The standard of a good donkey is that the ears are large and the hips are round, and the hair is bright and strong. The donkey's waist is very soft, so the horse rides the waist, while the donkey sits on the hips. The donkey has two large, sharp ears that distinguish between direction and environment safety, as well as the footsteps of the owner and the living person. The donkey can remember the person who humiliated and scolded it, and will find an opportunity to throw the person who has insulted it off the donkey's back.

Although the donkey did not establish any great feats for mankind, there was no merit and hard work, and the little donkey who had worked hard all his life was humble in status, weak and deceitful, and people would take the donkey at will.
The little donkey does not know who to provoke, and is often referred to as a donkey by people, such as: describing some people as having a very bad temper, saying that this person has a "donkey temper" and committing another crime; some people are born with a big head, and they are scolded as "big donkey faces"; some are born with a broken gong and are rapped like a donkey; describing people as nonsense, they say "donkey lips are not right for the horse's mouth.". Humans are so unfair to donkeys.

Look at the social status of horses – people congratulate each other on the success of things and say: I wish you success!
If the horse belongs to the nobility, the donkey belongs to the common group. Most donkeys are located in the Loess Plateau region of The Yellow River Basin in northern China, Henan, Shandong, Hebei, and the Yellow River Basin in the great northwest, and families in poor mountainous areas have to raise donkeys. The Qinghe donkey in Hebei and the donkey in Dezhou in Shandong are tall and black in color. Donkeys in the Yellow River basins of Guanzhong, Suide and Inner Mongolia have gray and white coats and short bodies, and are known for walking mountain roads.

The Loess Plateau in southwestern Inner Mongolia is rich in donkeys. Men generally do not ride donkeys, and rural women and children travel on donkeys. In the countryside of Qingshuihe County, Hohhot City, and Linger County, in the first month of the Spring Festival, on the ditchy and ditchy path of HuangshiGaopo, you often see a woman riding a small donkey back to her mother's house, and two small baskets are placed on the back of the donkey, which contains children and large bags of New Year goods. The handsome little daughters-in-law wear big red jackets and embroidered shoes on their feet, ride on the buttocks of the donkey, and twist the small waist with the steps of the donkey, becoming a beautiful scenery on the loess slope. The son-in-law who accompanied his daughter-in-law back to the door washed the fur of the donkey to be shiny, tied a red ribbon on the donkey's head, hung a large brass bell around his neck, the donkey walked up with his head held high, the brass bell rang, and the new son-in-law rushed to shout the donkey, so that the daughter-in-law could return to her mother's house with beautiful scenery. Let the old wives and little girls standing in the neighbors at the entrance of the village cast envious eyes.

The fate of foreign donkeys is much better than that of Chinese donkeys. The mountainous countries of Italy, Switzerland, and the nordic countries and other countries of the peasant harvest are fond of raising donkeys, European countries are divided into two kinds, a large donkey, engaged in some transport labor; in addition, artificially cultivated a petite, diverse coat color, mild temperament of the pet donkey, for people to watch and play, and the value is not cheap.
Donkeys do not compete with cattle, horses, and sheep for abundant pastures of water and grass, can work and eat, and occupy a particularly small amount of resources, so they are loved by humans.
Grandchildren
Today's humans are constantly competing with large wild animals for living space. As a result of the acceleration of the desertification process in the steppe, the grassland has shrunk in a large area, and the large livestock on the grassland: camels and Mongolian horses, have limited living conditions and their numbers have decreased sharply.
In recent years, the value of donkeys has received more attention, china's central plains, northwest regions of the peasants to raise donkeys are also more and more, the former was not loved by people of the small donkey, has become the majority of farmers to get rich way, our region of rural, pastoral areas appeared a large number of professional households because of the raising of donkeys to get rich.
Donkeys are increasingly loved by people for their roughage, eating less and working more, adapting to the environment, asking less from nature, and contributing greatly to mankind. (Source Inner Mongolia Pictorial))
