For a minute every day, the anchor has something to say.

Do you know how the word "tiger" is pronounced as a surname? Unexpectedly, it can be pronounced both "hǔ" and "māo". Is the jungle king at the top of the food chain actually surnamed "cat"? Suddenly, I was struck by this contrast!

Why have such interesting polysyllabic words been revealed recently? Probably because people with the surname "Tiger" are relatively rare in the mainland, mainly distributed in Zhaotong, Yunnan, Chengdu, Sichuan, Gansu, Nanjing, Guizhou and other places. So why can "tiger" be pronounced "cat"? According to relevant scholars, the Hui people account for a large proportion of the "tiger" surname, and at this time, "tiger" and "cat" are homophonous, which is a cultural habit of their from ancient times to the present. Between tigers and cats, although the difference in body size is too large to be ignored, since they belong to the same cat family, they like to roll and be rubbed by others, and it is not impossible to pronounce it as "cat". After all, the ancients "painted a tiger according to a cat", and there were also some looks.

Whether it is a habit since ancient times or a dialect that maintains local characteristics, it belongs to the cultural genes to be inherited by future generations. So such an interesting knowledge point, we must not forget! The Year of the Tiger learns some "tiger" knowledge, which is cute and appropriate.
