In the New Year when things inevitably think of the past, such as Beijing, in particular, has a heavy cultural heritage of the city. Beijing pet's long history, learning, pay attention to abound. From pet practices change, we can find traces of life changes.
Cats
Cats, is the fun things of life, and a long time, "Book of Rites" there is documented. Cats pay attention to varieties of old Beijing, mostly elderly people for your hair, "four five-inch soft hair who is Jane." This cat utmost mighty head, and long hair hanging shawl, like lion of the phase, it is called lion cat. Within this species, but also to coat the difference between good and bad to compete with the cat.
Who is generally believed that white, yellow for the top grade, black persons, variegated those times. They give different patterns according to fur Blair said, such as black-tailed white person, known as "timely"; upper and lower body black and white persons, that the "dark clouds covering the snow"; white head and tail with a black person as "whipping Hydrangea." It is said that cats are hundreds of kinds of color changes, but the excellent and rare. In addition, the cat who will be a two-color harmony is called "male and female eye." Vulgar to say "a father, a mother," This is the "Persian kind." But Beijing does not like to keep the old white-tailed cat, that ominous.
Cats are well-off early in goat cooked, chopped mixed with white rice, bibimbap, intestinal pain to those who smoked, followed by poor households buy salt from the oil, salt and dried fish store, that the "cat fish" , open chopped hair with warm water, mixed with the corn bread in the crumple slag yard, belonging to poor feeding.
Beijingers think of cats is a noble taste, its origin mostly the relatives and friends giving each other, that gift. At that time the old Beijingers do not sell cats, also selling cats, selling a dog as a symbol of bankruptcy, never refused to.
Many celebrities have cats. For example, the famous painter Feng cats, painting cats; Bing elderly cat Mimi spectrum in the name "snow Song carbon"; Lao She, cats, Duanmu Hongliang Mr. cats. Writer raised the cat has a "superiority", which is often described by the famous flower article.

Overall that is lion, tiger body, unicorn tail. In addition, Elvis Presley are male, female on the spectrum is not all.

Dogs and humans deal with, but also a long time. Beijing is now all over the street are a "pair of Beijing", "ancestors" is very noble. Enjoying the dogs were kept in the palace, "poodle" (Pekinese), six seven inches high, twelve pounds weight, especially in the purple-red, white precious, so-called "liquid gold purple to white as silver," the sentence.
Gokokuji temple in the old Beijing city have a dog, but the transactions are viewing the dog: sleeve dogs, pit dogs. Beat only the size of the dog sleeve, then naturally aggressive, sometimes called "fighting dog" can be hidden in the sleeve, which is why the name. Two pet dogs will be placed on a table and watch his dog fighting, biting, to win a music.
This is mostly idle rich of the perpetrator, and the chess, tea, drawing on the intersection of which, when considered elegant things. "Ceiling aquarium pomegranate tree, Mr. fat dog fat girl," these two brilliantly summarized the Beijing courtyard, indicating that the pet dog was in the servant than the master houses is much higher.

Poor to buy two little gold fish, and coax the children, and Geely plans, to discuss a "coming more than" sign. In fact, the children play a few days after the fish on top of all the "backstroke" the. While the identity, standing Zhu Er, home fish fish skill Sinong is proprietary.
Old Beijing family of fish, usually in three-foot circular cylinder or rectangular glass tank as much, while those with a family rich earthen pot kept. Has long been used because of the time, the basin has a layer of dried moss green, Guan Yu is more beautiful.
