Read it with me

Tintin cat [dīn dīn māor]

Word definition

"Ding Ding cat", refers to the dragonfly, because of its shape like "Ding", the eyes resemble cat's eyes, so the name. Some parts of Sichuan also refer to a short bundle of hair tied on the top of a child's head as a "Tintin cat."

In the thirteenth year of the Republic of China, the Chronicle of Jiangjin County, vol. 11, "Customs and Dialects": "The Yi language says that the largest of the dragonfly is the big head clam, and the smaller one is the clam hair." Hairy, small also. ”

Sichuan dialect "even look"

Sichuanese people are very funny and like to give animals aliases. Seeing that the dung beetle (shit shell lang) pushed the animal's dung (feces) up and crawled around, he gave another one the title of pushing crawler [tuī sǐ pár].

Not only that:

Sichuan people also call cockroaches "oil thieves".

Call the frog "qié mār".

The toad is called "nài gé bǎo" ("pimple", also known as lattice, clam, and grasshopper; "treasure", also known as blister, toad, scar).

The grasshopper is called "jiào gū gū".

Call the gecko "bā bí fǔr".

The list goes on and on. It can be seen that Sichuan people not only like to make sounds and overlapping words, but also like to alias animals. This once again reflects the Sichuan people's cute character.
