Foreword
The most peaceful happiness in the world is to watch the world and the world slowly and taste its harmony. ——Sanmao
In the ancient Chinese dynasties, people, nobles and even emperors are very feudal and superstitious. They believe that there are ghosts and gods in the world, so they tend to make many things in their lives into beasts they believe in. The appearance is to express the awe of them, and to use them to show their lofty status and power. For example, the "dragon" symbolizes the emperor, and the image of the tiger in the "tiger symbol" symbolizes the generals, similar There are many more examples.
The origin of the ancient "biao"
Among the warriors of different classes in ancient times, they would embroider some different "sacred beasts" on their armor chests to symbolize themselves. For example, in the highest class, the beasts used to represent them are also the fiercest. Yes, that is, the lion, the lower one is the tiger and the leopard, and then bears, rhinos, seahorses, etc., there is also an animal among them, which represents the seventh-rank military commander. This animal is the tiger. Many people are right" "Biao" is a very strange animal. What kind of animal is this? Can actually become a sign of ferocity? Next, let's talk about the "biao" animal.
In fact, many people can tell from its name that "Biao" and "Tiger" are very similar. In fact, "Biao" does have a certain relationship with tiger. For example, in some ancient novels. It is written that "Biao" and tiger are related. In ancient legends, "Biao" is said to be the third child of tiger, because "Biao" was not very similar to the traditional image of tiger when he was born. It does not have a tiger pattern on its body, but a brown hair. Because of its appearance, it was abandoned by the tiger. In this way, "Biao" became an abandoned cub.
is more ferocious than tigers
In the dangerous nature, an abandoned cub has only two destinies. One is that its vitality is not tenacious enough, and it becomes the object of being bullied by many beasts and starves to death, and the other is Counterattack has become the king of nature, and "Biao" is obviously the latter. "Biao" grew up in adversity without the protection of maternal love, so in order to survive, it had to make itself strong quickly, sometimes In order not to go hungry, it will also risk competing with animals that are several times stronger than itself for prey. If you are really hungry and have nothing to eat, it will also eat withered grass on the ground, so the "Biao" who grows up in this environment will have a more ferocious character than a tiger and leopard.
In addition, because he was abandoned by the tiger, Biao is very resentful of some young tiger cubs. If he sees a tiger cub, he will certainly not let go of the opportunity to eat the young tiger cubs. Therefore, it is spread among the people " "Biao" is a more ferocious legend than tigers, but these are also ancient legends. As for whether it is true or not, it needs to be verified. In addition, some folk materials also have some descriptions of Biao's appearance. According to current scholars The only data inferred that what the ancients called "biao" may be real, which is now an animal called the Asian golden cat.
The ancient "biao" is suspected to be Asian golden cats
Asian golden cats. They belong to the cat family. They are not big or small, and their coat color is all brown. Because they have functions and powerful hearing system, they They are also called "live radars", and their temperaments are also very cruel and barbaric, so they are also called "yellow tigers". Speaking of which, it seems that ancient tigers and current Asian golden cats do have There are similarities, but it is a pity that the number of Asian golden cats is now very limited and has been listed as an endangered animal.
Many people are curious about why Asian golden cats with such strong survivability will become endangered animals. In fact, there is a reason. Asian golden cats are very fierce. It can be seen from the food they eat that their food types are mainly For meat, the prey objects mainly include birds, rabbits, domestic chickens and some small deer. They even prey on young buffaloes when they are very hungry.
Although Asian golden cats also hunt for a living, their living habits are very incompatible with animals such as tigers and leopards. Everyone knows that tigers and leopards are social animals, especially when hunting prey. It is done by attacking and cooperating together, and finally sharing together, but Asian golden cats are not like this. They are more withdrawn and often solitary. This is also true when hunting, and they are used to active time.It's night time, so except during the time of estrus, Asian golden cats are often seen alone.
is an endangered animal, and
has only been seen three times after 2005. It is for this reason that Asian golden cats are targeted by some thieves who will hunt them on a large scale and destroy their living environment. For this reason, over the years, the number of Asian golden cats has become less and less, and it has become an endangered animal. It is very difficult to see an Asian golden cat. Some data directly prove that the Asian golden cat The difficult situation facing the cat now.
According to previous statistics, the distribution of Asian golden cats around the world is very wide, and the number is also very large, but over the years, because their living environment has been destroyed, coupled with the hunting of them, Therefore, the number of Asian golden cats has been showing a linear decline. In 1998, the number of Asian golden cats in China was 3,000-5,000. Since 2005, it has been difficult to see Asian golden cats. For so many years, people have only recorded three Asian golden cats in Yunnan, Sichuan and other places each time they conduct surveys. This also shows that the living environment of Asian golden cats in China is not very good. It's also worse. Perhaps in China, there are really few of them.
Therefore, I urge everyone to pay attention to this issue. If the Asian golden cat still survives in this trend, the number of flowers will continue to decline, and it is not impossible to even become extinct. In ancient times, such a ferocious animal is now Actually fell to the end of imminent extinction. Whose reason is this? Thinking about it carefully, it is really sad and heartache.
Conclusion
is naturally a kind mother and a cold butcher. ——Hugo
Nature has the laws of nature, and all things have their own laws of survival, so humans must not violate nature, unrestrainedly hunt and kill animals, destroy nature, if they never change, they will eventually be punished. It must be mankind himself, so for the sake of the earth, it is also for mankind. We should live in harmony with animals and the whole nature. Only in this way is the way out for mankind.
