Xuanmao is actually a black cat, which was called Xuanmao in ancient times.
Black with red is called Xuan, and red is called red, so Xuanmao is black with red, and Civet is black with red. Black cat is a kind of evil-repelling object that has been passed down from ancient times to modern times, but in modern times, people have misunderstood black cats. Black cats do not only refer to cats with black bodies. In ancient times, it was believed that it could drive away evil spirits, and it would appear whenever a disaster came. However, due to modern film and television works, people think that black cats bring danger and disaster to people, and think that it is an ominous thing, which is actually a misunderstanding.
In the West, black cats are not welcome, because there are many legends about black cats attracting evil spirits, and these come from the legend of the ancient Egyptian god Pocono. In ancient Egypt, its function is to make people with resentment worship and support it, and make wishes to it at certain times. The more malicious the content, the easier it is to realize it. But at the same time, cats are very mysterious creatures. Every time a wish is fulfilled, a certain reward will be charged, and the content of the reward is unknown. Westerners especially on the 13th and Friday, that is, on Friday the 13th, they will feel that encountering a black cat is the most unlucky.
In my country, it is said that white cats represent luck; black cats can ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters; yellow cats are for praying for a good marriage; gold represents wealth and prosperity.
In the past, there was a saying among the older generation: "Cats bring poverty, dogs bring prosperity." Pitch-black black cats are naturally not welcomed, but strangely, black dogs are welcomed because their blood can ward off evil spirits. If the ancients could travel back in time, they would quickly give black cats a proper name! Meow~
Because more and more people have realized that it is all a huge misunderstanding, October 27th of each year is designated as National Black Cat Day. This is a memorial day set up specifically for black cats to commemorate the lives that were wrongly killed, calling on everyone to reject unscientific prejudices and respect life!
Protect wild animals and eliminate game.
Maintaining ecological balance is everyone's responsibility!
