In many ancient records, there are descriptions of various animals. In an era when written records were not yet developed, people recorded them with murals and paintings.
Ancient Egypt, for example, had incomprehensible hieroglyphs and drawings, many of which depicted jackals, cats, and crocodiles, and played an important role in ancient Egyptian culture.
For example, in the various myths and stories of ancient Greece, there are also the imitations of various animals, such as strange creatures such as Minotaus, Medusa, and Sphinx, or messengers of the gods.
In China, the long-standing inheritance of civilization is naturally indispensable to these cultural legends or written records. As the basic form of my Chinese, Chinese characters have become idioms in the long-term use of some allusions, anecdotes, and classic quotations from articles. These are almost all four-word words, and there are many descriptions of animals, as well as interesting stories.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > adulterous</h1>
Due to the condensation of sentences, idioms are often based on classical quotations, and have withstood the test of language changes in long-term use. And there are too many words to say about animals, fox fake tiger power, tiger head and tail, playing the harp to the cow, and so on. Among the many idiomatic descriptions, if you want to describe the collusion between people, evil and evil, then the word "wretched for adultery" is the best description.
The story about this idiom is derived from a legend. Legend has it that there are two kinds of beasts, which are very similar in appearance and shape, and their living habits are very similar. But the difference is that wolves have longer front legs and shorter hind legs, and the fox is just the opposite of a wolf.
In order to compensate for the shortcomings of the two beasts, wolves and foxes usually hunt cooperatively, causing many harms to people. It is said that once wolves and foxes came to a farmer who had many lambs, but the sheep were fenced. The fence was not only strong, but also much higher than the other fences, and the wolves and foxes could do nothing about it, and they were at a loss for a moment.
But it didn't take long for them to think of a way to have the wolf ride on the roe deer, and by standing on the roe deer, the wolf could grab the fence with its front legs and take the lamb away. The cooperation between wolves and foxes and their behavior made people know that these animals are extremely treacherous and love to be bad, so wretchedness comes from this.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" What is the > wolf? </h1>
The story may be somewhat different from reality, and the record of wolves has gradually become more and more numerous, and the image has become more and more familiar to more and more people. The wolf we see today is actually no different from the wolf seen by the ancients, and as far as the wolf is concerned, it looks very similar to a dog.
After all, wolves and dogs are a subject in their own right, but unlike dogs, wolves are the biggest animals in the canine family. Slender body, larger rib cage, head is relatively heavier. The larger head gives the wolf more room to grow in the upper and lower jaws, and the bite force is hundreds of pounds larger than that of a dog. And in terms of strength, wolves dragging large animals is also easier than dogs.
Wolves in different regions vary in size, with the smallest wolf being only a dozen kilograms and the largest being 87 kilograms according to records.
Although there are different characteristics in terms of size due to regional differences, almost all wolves are the same when it comes to raising offspring. Wolves form a pack of wolves and perpetuate the entire clan through the head wolves in the pack.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > what is the creature? </h1>
The image of the wolf is now disseminated through various media records and written records, and many people will have a deep impression of the wolf. And as a derogatory term, there is also a fox in the "adultery", what kind of creature is this?
The ancients believed that this fox was actually a kind of wolf, but it was born with short forelimbs and difficult to move. Wolves, on the other hand, do not easily abandon any family member, and often carry such disabled members. These wolves are usually very intelligent, and even more than some head wolves, they know how to use the power of wolves to hunt. Therefore, when wolves are active, they are often ambushed and go out hunting.
According to the Tang Dynasty's "Youyang Miscellaneous Tricks" about the fox, the text says that there is a wolf tomb in the west of Ji County, and there are many wolves living nearby. One day, a man passing by alone met a wolf pack, and in a hurry climbed onto a very high haystack to avoid the wolves.
Two wolves then drove an old wolf from a nearby cave, and the old wolf tore the grass under the haystack with his mouth, so the other wolves followed suit. Just when the danger came, the passing hunter saved his life, and the elderly wolf was most likely a more detailed description of the creature "fox".
In modern records, there are almost no records of foxes, and many are only one-sided descriptions. For example, in Shanxi in the 1950s, a truck in a mountain village was stuck here because of a malfunction, and just as the driver was about to look for help, a passing wolf pack found it.
The wolves began to attack the people in the car, and after a long stalemate, the departing wolves then drove an animal. The animal howled a few times, and the wolves besieged the cab.
Nearby villagers rushed to drive away the wolves, which made people think that perhaps this was the legendary "fox". However, due to its age, many details cannot be examined, and the fox has disappeared from people's sight again.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > ancient word is now said </h1>
As a word in Chinese, "勽" is a two-tone adjective in Ancient Chinese, and the earliest use can be traced back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. From the proof and use of previous books, there are two meanings of embarrassment.
In Xun Yue's Treatise on the Chronicle of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, it is written: "Wretchedness is lost, stubbornly imprisoned, bowed down, and succumbed to the prison official..." The word "wolf" here refers to embarrassment.
In the Later Han Shu Cui Yu Biography, "Furious, raised his staff to strike, Jun... Gone with the wind. "The awkwardness here means the look of rushing and hurrying.
The two-tone words are generally composed of conjunctions or monophonic adjectives, which are obviously inconsistent. The word 狈 was not used alone from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, and it all appeared as a wolf or a bump, so how was the word "wolf" combined?
In the Middle and Tang Dynasties, the literary scholar Duan Chengshi had a new insight into the word 瓙, and described the wolf as two similar but different creatures in the "Youyang Miscellaneous Tricks", which had a far-reaching influence in later generations and became the most well-known understanding of the creature of the fox. Many subsequent writings have used this description as an analysis of the word "wolf" or not.
Later, Shen Kuo criticized in the Mengxi Pen Talk that the "Youyang Miscellaneous Tricks" used such an unfounded statement as "or yan" to record wolves and foxes, which is obviously a creature made up by man.
To say that the real reference to the word "wolf" in the word "wolf" should be counted in the Book of Poetry, the word "wolf trek" is most likely derived from "wolf trek". The propositions of the Book of Poetry often take the first two words of the first sentence, regardless of whether they can form a word, until the Qing Dynasty scholar Duan Yuzai explained the word wolf trek in the "Shijing Primary School".
In the pre-Qin period, there was a word for "䟺", but there was no such word as 狈, and the original text in the Book of Poetry should be read as wolf 䟺. In ancient Chinese, many times the sound and meaning are the same, and 䟺 can also be written as 䟺, and the two characters coexisted for a long time during this period, and the word 䟺 was also written as 狈 due to the Chinese character classification of "wolf". In later text excerpts, 䟺 is the same as 狈's voice, and gradually it also becomes 狈.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > non-existent animals </h1>
According to the ancient book records and word analysis, we can see that the fox with the word for adultery, if it is another animal, actually does not exist, and the fox is actually a wolf. As a book of zhiwei, in many ways, "Youyang Miscellaneous Tricks" listens to the words of others for creatures such as foxes, and there is no real historical evidence.
In ancient times, although there was no real appearance of "wolf", it did see wolverines committing adultery. Perhaps it is precisely because of the preconceived notions of the word wolf that the ancients thought that badgers might be badgers when they saw wolverines.
Interestingly, if you look at the badger, the whole form of the badger is still quite in line with the description of the badger. Badgers generally have grey coats, a blackish lower abdomen, black and white stripes on their faces, and white ears. Badgers are large, with short limbs, front paws longer than hind paws, and a keen sense of smell.
At first glance, these appearances are very similar to the appearance of some gray wolves or coyotes, and the badgers' sensitive sense of smell just makes up for the lack of smell of wolves, and the short limbs are like foxes.
However, badgers do not usually prey like wolves, and their diet is not as good as that of wolves. Badgers generally plane the soil and prey on earthworms, small insects and the rhizomes of some plants. Overall, badgers are relatively peaceful and friendly.
If wolverines must be said to cooperate, coyotes and badgers living in North America have a win-win hunting model, which is also the only animal in the North American prairies that will cooperate with coyotes.
According to local indigenous accounts, when coyotes and American badgers cooperate, american badgers use their claws to cut open the burrows of animals such as hares, and then the coyotes wait for their prey to come out.
When the animals in the cave run out, the coyotes swoop down to bite their prey, and some of the cubs in the cave become food for the American badger. The same method will appear on their joint prey on squirrels and rodents, and the whole operation is quite concise and efficient. Although sometimes American badgers also eat coyotes' pups, they don't seem to be much of a threat to coyotes.
In addition, when the American badger enters the prey cave, it will eat as many creatures as possible that can be eaten. This has led to coyotes preying on escaped animals often less realistic than American badgers, so American badgers are a little stronger than coyotes. Working together to give both sides access to food, coyotes and badgers survive in a mutually beneficial and symbiotic way.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > miscellaneous talk </h1>
In ancient China, many times the records of things were circulated to varying degrees, and in this circulation, it is likely to lead to false rumors. Some specific descriptions may be disguised in individual words, thus forming a misleading form.
In addition, the records of the ancients also contain some strange legends and miscellaneous talks, which contain many strange descriptions, which are usually puzzling. But because of its age, no one can say whether these creatures really existed, so that they became extinct later.
For example, the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" in the pre-Qin period, as a mythological geographical journal, is regarded as an ancient natural history book. It records many folkloric monsters and animals, not only with written descriptions, but also with pictures interspersed. I don't know whether the imagination of the ancients was too rich, or whether it was really heard.
In theology, history, and geography, the book is also full of many legends. Not only the gods and ghosts inside, but also some of the people's living customs at that time also had a relatively complete record, and also witnessed some historical changes, and the Classic of Mountains and Seas had a profound impact in later generations.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > concluding remarks </h1>
Having thoroughly understood the word for adultery, and perhaps in later understandings, we can temporarily treat the fox as a wolf. It may not be unreasonable to say that wolves and wolves are adulterous, after all, wolves prey on animals always attack in groups, work together, and perform their duties, and wolves become a terrible animal.
And it is only because of the transmission of culture, there are some common problems in Chinese, and the error caused by word classification has become a convention, which often appears in our language.
Perhaps the word 狈, like its meaning composition, has never left the word wolf. Whether it is the historical change of the word or the use of it by people, it seems that the fox is indeed quite awkward today.
