Japanese "Lucky Cat" is also called "Lucky Cat" by China people. What is its moral?

The origin of the lucky cat The origin of the legendary lucky cat is generally as follows: 1 In the Edo era of Yuegu, there was a famous clan called Yuegu who made a living by dyeing cloth. Young master of Yuegu, two favorite? 6? Seven things are gambling and playing with his cat. But this interest also made Yuegu quickly lose to him? 6? 7。 The housekeeper was very sad and often advised him to say, "Young master, how can you remember the ancestors of the Houyue family like this?" But Master Yuegu doesn't care at all. He even said, "Alas! Don't bother. Didn't there used to be a story about a crane repaying a debt of gratitude? If you have no money, ask Xiaoyu to find some! Right, Yu? " Whenever the housekeeper advises him in this way, he plays with the kitten and doesn't take the housekeeper's words seriously. Yuegu really fell, and Yuegu really had nothing. The housekeeper spoke again: "Young master, you should cheer up." ? 6? We can still start from scratch! "I didn't expect Yuegu to pick up the kitten and said with a smile," Xiaoyu, you haven't forgotten our agreement, have you? Get some gold coins! "The next day, Jade really came back with a gold coin in her mouth! The housekeeper and Yuegu are very happy! At this time, the housekeeper advised Yuegu to say, "Young master, take this gold coin and do a good job! "As a result, YueGu ShaoZhu went gambling again. This gold coin didn't bring him good luck. He lost everything before going home. Yuegu said to Yu, "Yu, bring me another gold coin!" I will definitely make good use of it this time and will not gamble again. " Xiaoyu hesitated, and then walked away slowly. The next day, the kitten came back with a gold coin in her mouth. Yuegu rushed out with this gold coin and went gambling directly without looking back? 6? Seven games, ready to make a profit, "no problem, I must turn over origin this time. "As everyone expected, Yuegu came back dejectedly and lost everything this time. As soon as I entered the door, I saw the housekeeper in a panic and said, "Jade" doesn't know what's going on. She is lazy all day and has no spirit at all! Yuegu rushed into the room, picked up his jade and shouted, "Jade, Jade, what's wrong with you?" At this time, the kitten slowly opened her eyes and licked the valley. The valley was relieved. The housekeeper went on to say, "Young master, don't you think Xiaoyu seems to be getting thinner and thinner?" It's so strange. " But Yuegu ignored the housekeeper and held the kitten high and said, "Just one more jade, one more jade. I will definitely do a good job this time. " Jed glanced at Yuegu lazily and walked away slowly, but then Yuegu thought, I don't know where Jed got these gold coins. If I go with her, I will have endless gold coins in the future! Hmm! I just followed her to have a look. Jed goes out early in the morning every other day, but this time he is far behind across the valley. The kitten walked around the city for a long time and crossed several rivers. Finally, she went into the Woods and stopped in front of a temple. She raised her hands, folded them in prayer, and then muttered to herself. Echigoya hid behind the Woods and was a little surprised to see the strange behavior of the kitten. So he walked slowly forward, only to hear the kitten say, "Get some hands, get some feet, give me some gold coins, get some belly, get some hair, give me some gold coins ...? 6? 7 ... "As the kitten reads like this, she becomes thinner and smaller. Then I woke up across the valley and ran out of the Woods screaming? 6? 7: "Jade! Stop reading! I don't want those gold coins! Jed! At this time, the kitten looked back at him and continued to read: "Take some hands and feet, give me some gold coins, take some bellies, take some hair, give me some gold coins ..." Finally, the kitten disappeared, leaving only three gold coins on the ground. Yuegu then picked up the gold coins on the ground and cried: "Jade! How can you be so stupid, just for three gold coins, Xiaoyu! "From then on, Yuegu is like a different person, working hard all day, and the money earned will not be spent casually. However, Mr. Yuegu always said, "Jade can sacrifice herself to touch me. How can I not work hard? "Later, through the efforts of Yuegu, the Yuegu family slowly flourished again. Because Yuegu always puts a statue of a cat with gold coins in front of the door, people in that area follow Yuegu. 2. three color cat Ji, based on Bo Yun, once had a geisha named Dr. Bo Yun and a three color cat named. Bo Yun can't live without that cat every day. Even if Bo Yun goes to the toilet, the cat will follow. So some boring people began to spread rumors that cats can fascinate people, and that cats were possessed in thin clouds. The owner of San Pu House, a brothel, was afraid that Boyun was really possessed by a cat and ordered him to throw away [jade]. But Bo Yun doesn't take it seriously and loves [jade] as always. So one day, the brothel owner took advantage of [Jade] to follow Bo Yun into the toilet, drew his sword and beheaded [Jade]' s cat head. Just as Jed's cat head flew down, the owner of the hospital found that the cat head had bitten the head of a snake. Only then did she know that [Jade] had been following the toilet to protect her master Bo Yun. Bo Yun was so sad that he sent the remains of [Jade] to the temple and set up a cat grave for sacrifice. Later, a Japanese tourist of Tang Qiao's home sympathized with Bo Yun's sadness and specially ordered thyme from Nagasaki, carved it into a lucky cat and gave it to Bo Yun, who couldn't put it down. After Bo Yun's death, this woodcarving lucky cat was sent to a temple dedicated to [jade] and accompanied by the real [jade]. However, if there is a fire in the temple in the future, the evidence will be gone. There is also a saying about the world of flowers and willows that geisha's musical instrument sanxian is made of cat skin, so geisha has a deep relationship with "cat". 3. Haode Temple Lucky Cat Haode Temple in Setagaya, Tokyo is famous for its "cat temple" with "prosperous business, prosperous home and everything". It is a famous lucky cat temple in China, and there are lucky cats worshipped by believers everywhere. But in the early days of Edo, Haode Temple was a declining temple. At that time, the abbot kept a cat "Jade", and the abbot loved it as if it were flesh and blood. One day, the abbot inadvertently said to Yu: Yu Temple is very poor. Can you bring me good luck? " A few days later, the Duke, Inoue Naoshi and his family passed the gate of Haode Temple on the falcon's way home. They were surprised to see a cat holding hands and greeting them, so they dismounted and went to the temple to rest. Just when Qi Huangong entered the temple, he just received the tea hosted by the abbot, and it began to rain and thunder outside. The abbot took advantage of the storm and preached a sermon. After the rain stopped, Jing Yi, the duke, was very happy and said to the abbot, "It was the cat that lured us in, which saved us from the thunderstorm, and we also received money from the abbot. This is probably a kind of karma. Later, under the protection of the Jing family, the incense began to flourish in Haode Temple. After his death, the abbot built a tomb for him and asked someone to carve a cat image, calling it a "lucky cat". 4. The judge cat said that there was a money exchange shop in Edo, and the shopkeeper Tian Xisaburo kept a cat named Yu, who was very close to the young fishmonger who went in and out of the shopkeeper's house. Every day, when the fishmonger sells fresh fish in the host's house, he always throws a fresh fish to Yu. One day, the fishmonger became seriously ill, because he was a bachelor, and because there was a trend of "no money for the night" in Edo. To put it simply, this is the temperament of Edo people drinking today, so let alone the medical expenses. After lying for a few days, even three meals were unsustainable. Just after the fishmonger sent all the valuable furniture to the pawnshop, it was almost time to stop cooking. The fishmonger found a paper bag on the pillow and opened it. There are two gold coins in it. A few months later, the fishmonger recovered, and he planned to discuss with the owner of the money exchange shop to raise funds for another rally. When he came to his host's house, there was no sign of "Jade". I didn't know that two or two gold coins were stolen from the store until I asked, which made the employees suspicious and restless. Under the encirclement of the master, I found "Jade" trying to sneak out of the door for the second time with gold coins in his hand, so the master had to reluctantly execute "Jade". So, the fishmonger told the shopkeeper what had happened, and the shopkeeper suddenly realized that the purpose of "Jade" sneaking out of the house for the second time with gold coins in its mouth was to prepare funds for the fishmonger. Later, the fishmonger became famous. In order to commemorate "Jade", a cat grave was set up at the Ekin Temple in Tokyo Tojo, and it was named [Little Judge Cat]. Holding with the left hand is lucky, and holding with the right hand is lucky. If both hands are raised, then "wealth" and "happiness" can come together. We can also tell the sex of a lucky cat by its left and right hands. The lucky cat in the right hand is a A Lang cat, which means luck. The lucky cat holding up her left hand is a female cat, which means luck. The golden bell hanging on the chest of a lucky cat also represents auspiciousness, luck, luck and origin. 5. Lucky Seven Gods In such a depressing atmosphere, some manufacturers combine lucky cats with other lucky things, most commonly with the Seven Fortune Gods. The lucky cat combined with the seven gods of wealth has got rid of the lovely appearance in appearance, and the momentum of making money into treasure is more spectacular and gorgeous. It is said that it will also achieve the effect of making money as soon as possible. 6. The lucky cat burning adults is located in the adult burning area in Taitung District, Tokyo, which is the producing area of 15 century. There are two giant lucky cats in front of Imado Shrine in Imado, Taitung District, Tokyo. Imperial God is the father of the founding of the People's Republic of China and the spouse goddess Itsuno in Japanese mythology. There are two "affinity cats" contacted by lucky cats in the hospital. The patch represents the male god and the pure white represents the goddess, which is the charm of a good marriage. The two cats are holding their right hands. Usually, raising your right hand means getting lucky, and raising your left hand means attracting guests. According to legend, an old lady in Asakusa had an old cat. Due to the death of her wife and financial difficulties, she had to rely on her relatives. The old woman had a dream that night after saying goodbye to the old cat with tears in her eyes. In the dream, the old cat told her mother-in-law that if she was made an idol, she would come naturally. The old lady listened to the old cat's dream, enshrined the cat idol on the shrine, and bowed down with her hands folded at night. Then, as the old cat said, good news followed, and the old woman no longer had to rely on others. Later, the rumor that the old woman became rich because of the cat idol immediately spread to her neighbors, and people came to borrow her cat idol every day. So the old woman asked the kiln owner to make pottery lucky cats, and opened a shop in Asakusa to sell the lucky cats cooked by this family. At that time, this family was burning lucky cats in Asakusa, and the business was very prosperous. Legend has it that the lucky cat of Thymus Boyun holds the left hand. Therefore, the lucky cat made by the old woman, in order to distinguish it from the lucky cat made by Daphne Boyun, specially changed the cat's hand to the right hand. 7. The Golden Cat and the Silver Cat in Lany In the middle of the Edo period, there was a brothel in the area between Lany (Motian District) with a silver painted cat on the door. Later, someone followed the example of the silver cat brothel and opened a golden cat brothel next to it. There is a golden painted cat in front of the store, and the business is as prosperous as before. The owner of the silver cat brothel lingered in the casino and finally lost all his money. So he ordered his wife and a group of people with eight soldiers to cheat the shopkeeper of Five Blessingg store (kimono store). I didn't expect a group of people to fall in love for a long time and really fell in love with eight soldiers. This kind of nondescript love can't be married, so they decided to die a double suicide. So, the two left a suicide note in the silver cat brothel. Of course, this double suicide incident caused a sensation in the whole Edo, and it was written as a pure glass drama (a kind of Taoist drama in traditional Japanese music, which evolved into a puppet pure glass drama during the Edo period), and it was also put on the stage and was very popular. It is said that this kind of double suicide event is the source of the decoration of the lucky cat in Hualiu Street. Brothels often put a big gold and silver "lucky cat" in front of the door to attract guests. Therefore, in some books, the word "brothel" was replaced by "inviting cats".
