Nian Fu said: "Am I really going to become a fox who seduces people!" Nian Fu couldn't laugh or cry.

Xiao Tianshu said: "Don't underestimate the fox spirit, the fox is actually a guardian saint, the fox has a history of many years in China, it can be described as a native species, it has been recorded in ancient times, so until now, the image of the fox must be in line with the traditional values of the Chinese." ”

Nian Fu said with a smile: "In fact, foxes and raccoons are two kinds of animals, and the foxes we often talk about now refer to foxes." The vixen is like a rat crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats, how can it be a patron saint! ”

Xiao Tianshu said: "In ancient times, the fox was actually the guardian god, and now the "dancing gods" in the Northeast still regard the fox in the five families of Huhuang, white, willow and gray as a great immortal with high mana. Later, it became a symbol of good luck. We often say that the nine-tailed fox, the first appeared in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", "the mountain of Qingqiu, there are beasts, its shape is like a fox and nine tails", some people say that this is a strong vitality, nine tails are nine lives, unless it is cut off in one breath of nine tails, or it will not die of old age. In fact, the nine tails represent a very strong reproductive ability, representing many children and grandchildren, just like the goddess of fertility in Greek mythology, Astarte, because the ancients needed productivity, and the productivity at that time was labor - people. So the people at that time still worshipped foxes very much. ”

Nian Fu said: "There is no basis for talking, what virtues do you say about the fox, and say that it is worth becoming a guardian saint?" ”

Xiao Tianshu said: "They also believe that foxes have three virtues: first, the coat color is soft, generally a single color, not like pheasants (pheasants) full of miscellaneous hair, bells and whistles, but simple and elegant, in line with the Chinese aesthetics, but also in line with the golden mean; Second, the body gradually grows from small, starting from the tip of the nose to the big tail at the back, which is in line with the hierarchical order of respect and inferiority of the Chinese; Third, do not forget the roots, because when the fox dies, it faces its own nest, which is in line with the traditional Chinese idea of relocating to the land and returning to the roots. ”

Nian Fu said: "So, the fox in the Western Han Dynasty is auspicious next to the throne of the Queen Mother of the West on the mural, when did the fox become a bewitching image?" ”

Xiao Tianshu said: "When did the fox become a bewitching image? Guo Pu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty recorded in his "Xuanzhong Ji" that "a fox can change into a woman at the age of fifty, a beauty at the age of 100, a god and a witch, and can know thousands of miles of things." Good charm. Confuse and lose people's minds. Chitose is with Tiantong, that is, the heavenly fox, which is one of the four auspicious rui". ”

It can be seen that at this time, people are affected by the Zhiwei, although the fox is still auspicious, but there is already a behavior that can become a beautiful woman and bewitch people.

So why do you say that foxes become beautiful?

Because of the legend that when Yu ruled the water, he married a beautiful girl, called Tu Shan, Tu Shan is the nine-tailed white fox incarnated, Tianzi Guosheng, it is said that his son Qi was born with Tu Shan. So the fox hooked up with the beauty, and because the fox had a soft and beautiful fur, a small melon seed face, and a pair of charming eyes, it was naturally associated with the beautiful girl. I haven't heard of anyone associating a bear, a lion and a beautiful woman together, but the big insect can also associate it with a woman, but it's called a tigress......

It is precisely because of the high appearance of the little foxes that they have caused trouble for themselves, especially the various gods and monsters of the Jin and Tang Dynasties, who began to arrange the foxes indiscriminately, how to write how terrifying, how to write how vicious and charming.

For example, Tang Dynasty Duan Cheng's "Youyang Miscellaneous?? Nuo Gao wrote down": "The old saying is that the wild fox is called the purple fox, and the tail of the night is fired, and it will be a monster, and it will wear a skull to worship Beidou, and if the skull does not fall, it will turn into a human." ”

How terrifying this is, even if the fox can transform into a human, the big moon and the earth, I saw a fox kneeling under the moonlight with a skull and worshipping Beidou, and the tail was still ghostly fire, how panicked! Can this eerie and terrifying scene not blacken the good image of the little fox in people's hearts?

Nian Fu said: "Fortunately, Pu Songling overturned the case for the little foxes, but fortunately, a cute little scholar appeared later, he is Pu Songling." In "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", the little foxes "make the flower demon and fox charming, with many human feelings, and amiable, forgetting to be different, and occasionally seeing each other, knowing that they are not reunited." "This is a very cute image, indeed, in Pu Songling's pen, these humane fox sisters are much cuter and more respectable than the inhumane traitors and wicked, either they are kind-hearted, or they are chivalrous, or they are intimate and lovely, and they know how to hurt people."

Pu Songling's preference for the little fox fairy is very easy to understand, a little scholar who is not the first, his career is not smooth, no one understands, there are so many bad people in the world, and his feelings can only be pinned on the little fox fairy in the pen, in fact, it is a desire for love and warmth by this little scholar, of course, it is also a mockery and irony of the world.

In fact, Pu Songling's reversal of the case is not only the rehabilitation of the little fox, but also the rehabilitation of the beautiful girl who is wearing the hat of "red face and troubled water", for example, in the Ming and Qing dynasties "Romance of the Gods", "Three Words and Two Beats" and "Water Margin", few beautiful female characters are positive, and even if they are, they are not taken seriously, not to mention the "wife is like clothes" in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Or does this little scholar know that he cherishes the fragrance and pities the jade, why is the "fox spirit" bad? Generally, if a married man cheats, his wife will immediately give the woman whose husband is cheating on her a loud name - "vixen", but why doesn't he find the reason from his husband? Emotional matters must be what you and I want

Xiao Tianshu said: "Actually, it is still worth learning from the "fox spirit", and then talk about the "seduction" of the "fox spirit" to men, what is the seduction? It's nothing more than flattery. ”

The two of them need to please each other when they live, buy a small gift if you have nothing to do, talk about the local love words, so that it can be sweet, if you don't even bother to please each other, then there is no need to go on. In fact, many women may wish to learn from Pu Songling's "seduction" of the "fox spirit" to men.

There is such a story: The husbands of both families have taken a concubine, and the concubine of one family is not as beautiful as the wife, but the husband always runs away to the concubine; The other family is the opposite, the wife is not as good-looking as the concubine, but the husband accompanies the wife every day. So the former asked the latter, why can you tie up your husband?

Endorsement in the book, the one behind is the fox spirit.

The fox fairy said that it was very simple: first, you should insist on makeup at home, so that you always have a good image; second, be filial to your in-laws and be careful with your children; Third, don't pay attention to your husband when he wants to be close to you, and let him feel fresh.

The one in front listened to it and did so, and sure enough, the husband stopped paying attention to the concubine. It can be seen that in fact, in terms of the strategy of "fox spirit", this is simply an expert in the emotional life of husband and wife, and their wisdom and ice and snow intelligence are vividly embodied.

At this point, let's take a closer look, are these "vixens" cute or hateful? I really want to hate them, but unfortunately I can't.
