info Gongsun Guiyi squatted down and stroked the two dogs, and said, "Diting and Howling Heavenly Dogs, why did you come here?" ”

Since ancient times, the dog clan has been known as the most spiritual group of pets along with the cat clan and the snake clan, especially the dog clan has left a lot of sacred dogs and legends in the world.

1. The legend of Diting is the mount of the Jizo Bodhisattva, and the original body of Diting is a white dog, because the Dizang method is based on filial piety, and the dog is loyal, just like the lion of Manjushri shows wisdom, and the white elephant of Puxian shows the great line, and the truth of Dizang listens to the loyalty of the heart.

"The Book of Songs: Xi Sang" cloud: "The center hides it, and when will it be forgotten." ”

In this way, it is necessary to express the law of the heart.

It is believed that in the last years of Tang Kaiyuan, the 24-year-old Kim Qiaojue, the prince of ancient Silla (now South Korea), saw through the red dust, brought a white dog to China floating in the sea, and cut his hair to become a monk.

The white dog accompanied Jin Qiaojue all the way to a bumpy road, Zhuo Xi Jiuhua.

In the 75 years of common penance, the white dog and Jin Qiaojue have been with each other day and night, turning evil into good fortune everywhere.

On the 30th day of the seventh lunar month in the tenth year of Zhenyuan (794), Jin Qiaojue sat down, and the white dog also rested.

Three years later, Jin Qiaojue's body was opened, and he saw that his face was like life and his bones were like golden locks.

According to the Buddhist scriptures, it is said: "The Bodhisattva hooks and locks, and a hundred bones roar!" ”

。

Everyone sighed for Jin Qiaojue - Jin Qiaojue is the incarnation of the Bodhisattva of the earth, so the temple was built and even the white dog was enshrined.

Jin Qiaojue was recognized by Buddhism as the embodiment of Jizo Bodhisattva, called Jin Jizo.

This sacred dog is also known as a sacred dog by Buddhism because it is Jin Qiaojue's token, love, pet and talisman.

Later generations were even more deified as gods and dogs, listening to the Buddha's teachings, understanding human nature, avoiding evil, and regarded as a symbol of auspiciousness.

It is said that good listening has the ability to "sit on the ground and listen to 800, and lie down to listen to 3,000"

The ability to listen, also known as "listening"

, "Earth"

It implies the meaning of the heart.

"Ground Listening"

Homonym "Di Ting"

Listen attentively to the true teachings of the Buddha.

In Buddhist scriptures, there is often "true listening, true listening, good thoughts"

Words.

Later, Di Ting became the treasure of Jiuhua Mountain, regarded as a symbol of auspiciousness, and its image was also greatly changed, gathering all the Rui elephants and becoming a tiger head, a single horn, a dog ear, a dragon body, a lion tail, a unicorn foot of the beast.

In short, the unicorn shows the power of judgment, such as Confucius in the Analects of Confucius believes that Zilu says the same thing, "a piece of words can break the prison"

。

The dragon body table is auspicious, the tiger head represents wisdom and bravery, the dog ear table is good at hearing, the lion tail table has patience, and the unicorn foot table is flat and stable, and the good is the treasure.

。

, that is, "aura, spirit, blessing, wealth, sharpness, luck, vitality, strength and backbone"

。

Adults carry it and their wishes come true.

2. The Howling Heavenly Dog Dog God, also known as the Heavenly Dog, was first recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".

The original text is: "Three hundred miles to the west, it is called Yin Mountain." The turbid water of the bath comes out of the Yan and flows south to Fanze. Among them, there are many beasts, and they are called tengu. The ancients believed that the solar eclipse and the lunar eclipse were the Tengu doing the trick, and in ancient times there was a custom of the folk having a solar eclipse, and during the lunar eclipse, they beat the utensils to drive away the tengu. In Japan, Inugami is a spirit that attaches its spirit to a human body. According to the situation at the time of the attack, there are two types, one is a sudden attack, and the other is family transmission. This legend is mainly popular in Kyushu, Shikoku and other places in Japan. The spirit named Inujin is possessed by taking advantage of people's mental weakness. If the disease is passed down from family to family, it becomes an obstacle to marriage and constitutes a social problem. As for the origin of the dog god, there are various legends. The most common ones have vicious dogs in their homes, and the owners feel very distressed. Therefore, the master abandoned the vicious dog on the rocks in the sea and made it mourn until death, and the dog god was very powerful and loyal, and even took revenge for the benefit of the owner in legend. But in some cases, the dog god also has the power to control the owner. 3. If a female dog is hit by a meteor one month after conception, then it will not give birth to an ordinary dog, but a scourge. Scourge looks like a normal dog. However, its entire fur is black and has a special sheen. There are a few scourge fights with split tails at the tip, and other than that, there is nothing unusual about it. In fact, you can't detect anything unusual from their appearance alone. But this did not prevent them from serving as the assistant to the god of fire, and sometimes the god of fire left for some reason, and scourge even had to take over the ministry of the god. The food that ordinary dogs eat makes Scourge feel tasteless. They have no sense for lizards, insects, rodents, and are dismissive of the carcasses of large animals. As a retinue of the god of fire, and sometimes even a dog of the god of fire, Scourge only eats fire. When Thor cruises the land in a thunder cart, Scourge follows them. The thunder axe wedge stone thrown by Thor caused a fire in the human forest and town. At this time, Scourge had a chance to rush forward, gulping down the flames and filling his hungry stomach. Slightly surprisingly, the excrement of this animal is also a flame. It appeared that the scorching energy merely entered their mouths, and after a series of ups and downs, it came out of the back of the scourge. Occasionally, flames erupt from their mouths, often resulting in horrific fires. According to the Classic of Mountains and Seas, when there was no need to eat, the scourge often gathered in the fire-weary country of the southern sea. The country got its name because of the coming of the scourge. The Enterless Country is near the Fire-Weary Country, and the people here eat exactly the same things that they excrete out. Therefore, Wu Renchen, a commentator of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, pointed out that the eating habits of the scourge were probably related to the teachings of the intestinal people. 4. When the legend of the ancient Emperor Gaoxin was born, "the emperor had a dog, and its hair was five picks, and its name was Pang". Because of General Wu's rebellion, Gao Xin promised that whoever could cut off General Wu's head would be rewarded and marry the princess to him. Pan Gu bit off General Wu's head and returned. Later, "the emperor had no choice but to use a female match". After the death of Pan Gu, "after the vine, called the barbarian", became a Chinese tribe, and everyone respected their common ancestor. This story is also widely spread among the Yao, Miao and Li ethnic groups in the south of our country, and it is said that the original people at that time were very devout to worship the king of Pan. Book of the Later Han Dynasty. Nanban Biography": "In the past, the Gaoxin clan had the head of General Wu, the general of the dog Rong, who bought thousands of gold and 10,000 families, and his wife was a girl...... Pan Gu then made the head of the people, and the ministers blamed him, and he was the head of General Wu. "Northern Wei Li Daoyuan's "Water Jing Note. Yuanshui": "Pan gourd died, because of his husband and wife, weaving wood veneer, dyed with grass, good five-color clothes, and cutting all have tails. His mother, the White Emperor, was given a famous mountain, and then it was a barbarian. Wuling County Yi is the seed of the gourd. ”
