As a modern cat slave, as long as the cat owner's fluffy little paws are lifted, they are eager to take all they want at once, and life is also indulging them in every way, just ask which shoveler has not been humbled in order to suck these cute little guys? But ah, on the sucking of cats, you don't know how excessive the ancients were!
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" > one ancient Chinese cat slave award</h1>
Ancient Chinese cats, can not be called masters, they are called "tanuki slaves", meaning petite, cute tanuki, you see, this is different from the slaves of cat slaves.
Therefore, under the lure of the cute tanuki slave, the ancients also went farther and farther on the road of sucking cats. In the Song Dynasty, the status of cat masters soared, which was the first cat slave blowout period, when buying a cat was not called buying a cat, it was called hiring a cat, which was the next hire of the Eight Classics of Zheng'er.
There are two kinds of dowry, if the hired cat is a kitten born of a domestic cat, you must send salt to the cat owner's house. You know, at that time, salt was more expensive than money, of course, according to the customs of different regions, there were also different items such as ramie, sugar, tea, sesame, dates, bean sprouts and so on. If the hired cat is a wild cat, send a bunch of small fish to the mother cat who has just given birth to the kitten.
Of course, raising a cat is not only a hired, but also a contract. However, this contract can be different from other sales, the contract for buying a cat can be written as a letter of appointment, a letter of appointment - a dowry - a letter of appointment, and a proper one-stop service.
But the letter of appointment has nothing to do with the marriage you think, but it is a little bit like a contract book. Its main contents are the date of hiring the cat, the appearance characteristics of the cat, the price, and the requirements of the naïve owner to the cat: catch the mouse well, do not steal food, do not run around, and so on.
(Guess what kind of cat this is?) ）
Although the procedure of raising cats is slightly complicated, there are still many cat slaves who face difficulties, including outstanding shovelers, and even the emperor has "worshipped" under the prosperous beauty of tanuki slaves.
The most literary cat slave - Lu You
As a great poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, Lu You once commented on his article "Passionate and generous, Jiaxuan can't live." But what many people don't know is that the great poet who can write such an impassioned poem has also written many cute (spitting) poems for his own tanuki.
The next village sent Lu Da poet cat, Lu Da poet felt very cute, then call it Xue'er, at the moment a large stroke of the inscription poem "Get the cat in the near village to play with the name of Xue'er as a poem": like a tiger can be a wood, such as a colt does not ambush. But knowing the empty rat's nest, there is no intention to eat for the fish. Mint is always drunk and warm at night. The old boy who was born before, accompanied by my old mountain village.
Lu You feels that this cat is like a little tiger who can climb trees, who is like a pony but can't pull a cart, who eats mice and doesn't eat fish, who saves money, who will suck catnip when he is idle, and who is well-behaved like a bookboy in the past life, and will come to accompany him in this life
That Lu Youjia has two cats, and can't just be partial to Xue'er, so the other pink nose also has a poem "Giving Powder Nose Poem": Lian Xi Tanuki slaves are frequent, and the angry hair is bloody to protect the remnants. Asked how the canal resembles Zhu Men Li, full of fish to sleep Jinyin. However, it seems that this pink-nosed cat is not as good as its name, it is a small fierce cat that protects food.
When it was stormy outside, Lu You would hold the powder nose and Xue Er to write some small poems at home, so there was "November 4th Wind and Rain Masterpiece (Part I)": The wind swept the rivers and lakes and rained the dark village, and the sound of the four mountains turned over by the waves. The creek firewood was soft and warm, and I did not go out with the tanuki.
And as a poor boy, Lu You, when he picked up the new cat, he also felt sad that he could not give the cat a comfortable life because he had no money, and you see he wrote in "Giving the Cat": Salt wrapped to hire tanuki slaves, often watch the theater. Always drunk mint, night and night occupied. The rat's nest is listed, and the fish meal is rewarded. Still be called a name, called less than a tree. You see, is the majority of cat slaves the same, bitter themselves are not willing to suffer the cat master?!
harm! Literary poets are really spoiled by strength! It is not too much to say that it is the number one cat slave in the past and the present
However, the two little guys also have a time when the Lu Da poet has no choice but to collapse, which is not, it is written in the "Two Senses": The tanuki slave sleeps in the quilt, and the rat does not smell. The book on my shelf is a curse and Sven. The dry magpie went down to the eaves, and the noise did not wait for the morning. But in order to get food, He once asked pedestrians. Laziness is warm and peaceful, hunger is full and tame, ru ji is good, and I am worried.
Xue Er and Pink Nose were passive and sluggish, and actually learned rats to destroy many books, but unfortunately, Lu Da poets had no way. However, it seems that the cat masters are really in the same vein for destroying this ability!
The most local cat slave Jiajing Emperor
To say that the people who have the most "trenches" of pets, turn over Chinese history, the Jiajing Emperor dares to call the second, no one dares to call the first, the Jiajing Emperor pets the cat, that is really to the heavens.
According to legend, the Jiajing Emperor built a special "cat room" for the cats and sent a close attendant to serve them. Not only that, these cats have official titles, known as cat masters and cat heads. According to records, twelve cats eat four pounds of pork and one pair of pork liver for three meals a day, in addition, a variety of snacks such as dried fish are never stopped.
However, although there are countless good cats in the cat room, only one cat named Frost Brow is the most pleasing to the emperor. The gossip blogger Shen Bang once recorded the story of the Jiajing Emperor and his beloved cat Frost Eyebrow in the "Miscellaneous Records of Wanping Zhi County" compiled by Wanping ZhiXian. The sticky frost eyebrows were very pleasing to the emperor, and every day he circled around the emperor, eating and drinking Lasa could not be separated from the emperor, so the Jiajing Emperor named the frost eyebrows "dragon".
According to the empress dowager, who did not want to be named, the Jiajing Emperor loved Frost Mei, and when Frost Brow ran to the palace door of which concubine, he slept in the harem' house. In order to play with Frost Brow, he would rather not go to the court for more than twenty years, it is really a red cat disaster water, red cat disaster water ~
Later, when Frost Mei died, the Jiajing Emperor also cast a coffin out of gold, not only held a solemn funeral for it, but also invited ministers to write a tribute for him, which was simply "trench" inhuman.
Of course, in addition to these two famous cat slave players in history, there are many cloud cat sucking contestants who rely on the cat pieces of various painters to satisfy the happiness of cat sucking:

The cat slave industry chain in ancient China
However, don't think that ancient cat slaves only know how to suck cats, such as sterilization, pet shops, cat food, cat grooming, cat supplies, etc., in fact, the ancient people played the rest of the ~ ~
It is rumored that there is a street market in Lin'an in the Southern Song Dynasty, where there is a professional pet shop that not only sells all kinds of cats, but also provides various cat-related goods and services.
"Baishitong" carefully recorded the grand event of Lin'an's "Cat Market" in "Wulin Old Things", in which in addition to selling cat accidents, there are also "cat nests" (places where they live), "cat fish" (food eaten by cats), "changing cats and dogs" (dressing up and grooming cats) and other services. In short, you can think of it, most of the ancients did it.
Of course, the ancients also had many tricks to train cats. In order to prevent the cat owner who was invited back to run away from home, the ancients would ask the "East Prince" and "West Queen Mother" on the contract to hire cats to witness the cat master", "see the south does not go, see the north does not swim", and even some people have specially practiced to leave the cat master at home.
Asking the gods and immortals may be more troublesome, the ancients also thought of the "coercion and inducement" lazy method: when the tanuki slave was in the room, he would eat pork liver, and if he ran to the courtyard, he would ask him to eat a bamboo pole. I think this method may also be used as a reference (manual dog head life preservation)~
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" > 2 Foreign ancient cat slave awards</h1>
It seems that the ancients in China have been pure in the matter of sucking cats, and even gave birth to a complete industrial chain, but ah, cat slaves do not distinguish between countries, foreign ancient cat slaves also suck cats to the top.
The most domineering cat slaves of the ancient Egyptians
When it comes to foreign cat slaves, we must first nominate ancient Egyptians, who can be said to be the originators of the cat slave class. In the hearts of the ancient Egyptians, cats were god-like beings, they symbolized the savior, symbolized the goddess in the human world, could have the power to conquer death, was a sacred beast, and was also a lucky mascot.
(Buster goddess revered by the ancient Egyptians)
Although ancient Egyptian commoners had access to sacred cat masters, all cats belonged to Pharaoh. The domineering pharaohs and cat slaves will even send special troops to check whether anyone is smuggling the cat master, and once discovered, they will punish you for treason.
It can be said that China has dragons and Egypt has cats. In ancient Egypt, any act of killing a cat can be "given a red", and after the death of the cat owner, the grief-stricken ancient Egyptian cat slave will not only shave off his eyebrows to express his mourning, but also use the most advanced materials to mummify the body of the cat master like the ancient Egyptian nobles, and even put milk and mice (and possibly fluffy, egg-like toys) to accompany the funeral, hey, it's really not as good as cats!
(Cat: I'm a mummy meow without feelings)
The ancient Egyptian people sucked the cat and sucked the head, and the news spread throughout the Nile, and the enemy Persian Empire wanted to do something with the cat.
According to legend, in 525 BC, Cambyses II led the elite of the Persian Empire on a journey to conquer Egypt. When the battle had not progressed for a long time, Cambyses II calculated: "Don't you Egyptians respect cats the most, then I will tie the cat to the shield, and I see if you dare to move." ”
In this way, the ancient Egyptian soldiers, who were originally fierce and courageous, stopped resisting when they saw the cat master on the shield.
With this move, Cambyses II was soon promoted and raised to the peak of his life, not only taking Peleus am in one fell swoop, but also capturing Pharaoh Psamytik III in the Battle of Berucia. Without sighing again, the red cat is a disaster water.~
The most affectionate cat slave Tatar general
It is said that a senior cat slave Tatar general, Timur Tash Muxiaoya, once forced many high-ranking officials of the Rohm Sultanate, including Attaberg and Vizier, to kneel to his Persian cat.
Later, when he lost his position and fled to Egypt, he did not bring his wife, but brought his loyal subordinates and his beloved cat, which was really a wife like clothes, and a meow was like a brother and sister! But I suspect that the Tatar general fled to Egypt for impure purposes, hehehehe.
However, don't look at the ancients sucking cats so well, as long as you wholeheartedly treat your own cat master, you are the best cat slave in its heart
