The symbolism of the Dog Zodiac

Dog is the god of wind. The oracle bone inscriptions contain “two dogs in Emperor Shifeng’s reign (translation: two dogs in Emperor Shifeng’s reign)”; “Shan Hai Jing” has black and white dogs sacrificed to the god of wind. The ancients believed that dogs can stop the wind.

According to the “Customs Tongyi”, “the god of Xu is Fengbo, so the Bingxu day is sacrificed to the northwest (the god of the sun is Fengbo, so the Bingxu day is used to sacrifice in the northwest).” Dogs can also raise the wind, and Mozi states that “burning the black dog’s skin and raising the grey wind will start (burning the black dog’s skin and raising the grey wind will start)”.

Dog loyalty, legend and reality abound. According to “Shu Yi Ji”, the “Yellow Ear” of Lu Ji of Wei and Jin Dynasties died of exhaustion after delivering letters to the master. The black dragon dog in “Sou Shen Ji” survived by soaking the drunken owner with water in the fire.

Dogs are the most loyal friends of human beings. They can share weal and woe with people and are considered to be the most human animals.
