March in the lunar calendar is the year of the dog. I have nothing to do, but I have to pick up some "dog" things for readers' reference only.

Dogs are faithful friends of human beings. Well-trained dogs can not only help people graze, watch the house, hunt and deliver letters with their owners, but also lead the way, find mines, report earthquakes, save people, chase criminals, suppress smuggling, search for explosives and so on.

The role of dogs in human beings is not only manifested in daily life, but also in the artistic functions of poetry and speech expression.

In ancient poetry, "dog" is often used to express emotions. Tao Yuanming of Jin Dynasty wrote in "Returning to the Garden": "Dogs bark in deep alleys, chickens crow and sang jump". It depicts the quiet and simple life scene in the medieval countryside, and also shows the author's ideal and pursuit. Jason said: "Originally, I wanted to talk about the leisure in the countryside, not sing about the countryside. Later generations praised the countryside, although it was very clever, but it could not be achieved. " In the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Xie wrote a poem: "There are many winding trees in the water, and there are one or two peaks in the spring mountain. The huts are hidden, and a few chickens and dogs are in the sunset. " (The Ci of Zhi Zhu in Wei County) uses "a few chickens and a few dogs" to contrast the beauty and tranquility of the mountain village, revealing the yearning for a peaceful and peaceful world under the rule.

"Dog" is often used as a metaphor to understand things. For example, "dogs don't applaud, people don't think well of good words" ("Zhuangzi Zapian Xu Wugui") means that dogs don't applaud, that is, people don't think well of good words. The implication is to see whether a person is virtuous, not whether he has a glib tongue. People who talk a lot are not necessarily virtuous. The key to judging a person depends on his behavior and whether his words and deeds are consistent. There is a saying in "Everything is done wrong, foreign reserves say the upper right". The background of this sentence is that there is a liquor seller in Song State. He is good at drinking and has a good attitude. Because he has a fierce dog, others are afraid to buy wine, and finally the wine turns sour. Han Feizi used the word "fierce dog" to refer to a powerful official around your monarch. Whenever talented people are ready to hand them over to the monarch who has a good strategy for governing the country, these important officials, like fierce dogs, pounce on them and bite them hard in order to keep their positions or cover up their misdeeds. In this way, there will be no wise men in the country. Han Feizi's metaphor aims to remind the monarch that if he wants to become an emperor, he must control these "fierce dogs" with politics.

In daily communication, the word "dog" is often humorous or ironic. There is a joke: a drinker saw his fellow diners eating and drinking too much and asked him what it was. The man replied that it was a dog. The drinker said, "Fortunately, it belongs to the dog. If it belongs to a tiger, even I ate it. " (Laughing Lin). "Qing Bi Piao Irony" wrote: Wang learned to write poetry, but his writing was not harmonious, but he called himself a poet. One year, Wang came to Beijing and often gave poems to others. After Li Jiuxi saw it, he criticized the word "bullshit" in the manuscript. Someone asked Li, "Why do you curse like this?" Li said: "This is just a first-class comment, and there are second-class and third-class, which is the bane." When someone asked for details, Li said, "Nonsense, people are talking nonsense, which means that people are still talking about it, only occasionally." Second class is farting for dogs. Dogs don't fart all day, and they don't fart much. The third category is fart dogs, named after farts, which means they are all farts. "Bullshit worthless, it serves to show the poor quality of the king's poems, why show off?

There is an allusion to "Lisi Dog Cangue" in "Song Coin Banknotes", saying that Liu Song Jiangxia Wang Liu likes to collect and ask for antiques, but the waiters are not very satisfied. So we put the dog cangue discarded by people in a box and gave it to Zuowei Liu "Lisi Dog Cangue" (Lisi, the prime minister of Qin Dynasty, was framed by Zhao Gao and killed by Jiuzu for treason), which is equivalent to satirizing the prince who loves antiques face to face and giving him a bad breath. As for the words "the dog flies the eagle", "the dog's head strategist", "the dog's tail continues the marten" and "the dog fights the human potential", they are also concrete and vivid, so I won't list them one by one.
