Since ancient times, there have been some people at the top everywhere, such as the court, princes and nobles, and what they liked often attracted the commoners to imitate, thus leading the trend of the time. And pet ownership is undoubtedly the most reflective of this, there are many dogs in the early years of the nobles of the darlings, such as Hiromi, Bixiong and so on. Of course, there are several kinds of court noble dogs under China's thousands of years of imperial system, the most famous of which is Jingba.
Jingba is also called Beijing Dog, which is also known as poodle and pug in the folk. Speaking of pugs, in fact, this name is not dedicated to Jingba, and the nickname of pugs is also pugs. The history of Jingba has been thousands of years, and it has been basically the pet of the court nobles in the long dynasties.
The most popular period of Jingba was the Qing Dynasty, especially in the middle and late period, and the treatment was quite high. Specifically, they were monopolized by the royal palace, and civilians were not allowed to breed them, and if they were discovered, they were criminalized. And there are special staff to make them "royal meals", the recipe also has shark fins (shark fin), sandpiper's liver and other delicacies, but also fed them the antelope milk raised in the royal garden, really Wang Sheng winners.
In order to be more ornamental, the professionals in the palace have been cultivating Jingba according to the orders of the magnates (many of the characteristics of Jingba were ordered by Cixi), their faces are very flat, they have a pair of large eyes of Kazilan, their hair is long and soft, their body size is also very small, and their personalities are lively and active. To make them look more interesting, The forelimbs of Jingba were bred to be curved, shaking their heads like folk lion dances when running, so they were called poodles.
During the Second Opium War, Jingba was taken out of the country by the British and French allies, and became a very popular pet in foreign countries, and later the Qing Dynasty also gave a lot of Jingba to foreigners, and engaged in "Jingba diplomacy", which was similar to the later form of panda diplomacy.
Later, after the collapse of the Qing Dynasty, Jingba slowly entered the homes of many ordinary people, and was no longer the exclusive pet of the nobility. Jingba's personality is very lively, and the appearance is very sweet, in the folk there are more and more people like, the 1980s and 1990s even reached the point where the streets and alleys can be seen everywhere, many people's childhood memories have a cute poodle with a cute poodle shaking its head and tail.
Probably many dog friends raised their first dog many years ago was Jingba, so people have a special feeling for Jingba. Because Jingba is kept in the palace for breeding and selection all year round, they also have some health problems like many purebred dogs, such as their flat faces, narrow nasal passages, not suitable for strenuous exercise, and prone to respiratory diseases. There are also neurological and cardiovascular diseases and eye problems that plague many Jingba babies.
Because of these problems, coupled with the changes of the times and the popularity of many other dogs, there are fewer and fewer Jingbas that can be seen on the street today, and instead they have become golden retrievers, Hiromi, VIP (teddy) and other dogs. But in any case, the memories that Jingba brings us are very beautiful and precious, aren't they?
Jingba babies are really lively, a plastic bottle can also let them play for half a day, look at this dancing look is really a bit like a lion dance style, worthy of the legendary court poodle!
Jingba's hair is very long, so it hides the fact that they have a pair of large ears, and if you cut the hair shorter, you can see it intuitively, not only can you see it, but you can also play with their ears with your fingers like this, and the elasticity is really good.
Jingba is actually still very smart, very good at attracting the attention of the owner, some of the more commonly used motor skills they can learn quickly, but also very sticky, very suitable for accompanying children and the elderly, especially well-behaved!
