If this concept is applied to pet culture, it is the sum of the material and spiritual wealth created during the development of the human commitment to the pet industry.

What kind of material wealth has been created by the development of the pet industry in China?

The role of pets is gradually changing, with the functionality of pets in the family changing from "caretakers" to "children and relatives"; and because of China's demographic transition, the increase in empty-nesting elderly and Dinky families has made the pet economy an emotional one. The pet economy tends to emotional economy, which creates spiritual wealth for some people.

Although pet-owning families reached 59.12 million in 2017, the ratio of pet-owning to non-pet-owning families is about 1:4, and pet-owners and non-pet-owners once became hostile under the fermentation of negative pet events on the Internet, and non-pet-owners are quite disgusted with the notion that pet-owners treat their pets as children or relatives. The traditional consciousness of Chinese people cannot be easily subverted and changed due to the deep-rooted feudal culture of thousands of years, and it is precisely because of the different concepts that determine the different attitudes towards pets and the way of raising pets that the actual use of animals is much higher than the spiritual role in the minds of most Chinese people.

At the end of 2017, Changsha street golden hair was killed by a stick and Chengdu fell dead corgi two major pets were hurt, the two sides of the network clashed fiercely, each other sarcastic attack, words tit for tat. In the weak consciousness of the people of the country, animals do not exist as independent individuals, the survival of the fittest, or the survival of the fittest, what gives the people of the country the right to decide at will whether to stay or go other lives without being blamed?

The system determines the quality of a country's nationals, and the national character determines the level of pet culture, the spirit of extreme poverty under the age of prosperity of the people, creating a "Chinese" pet culture.

Humans are the highest animals on earth, occupying the highest end of the food chain, and have produced the highest level of civilization in the process of evolution and learning. Humans, as the highest animals, have always interacted with the animal kingdom in the journey to modern civilization, y influencing their own 'development,' and the relationship between humans and animals constitutes the most important part of nature's ecological balance system. The successful domestication of the dog accelerated the accumulation of human experience in domesticating other wild animals into domesticated animals, and is therefore of great significance in the history of human civilization.

Pets evolved from domesticated animals, and humans are the driving force behind the transformation of the role of animals into playthings and then into pets. Pets are a variety of animals that are domesticated to meet the needs of human beings to satisfy their own life and spiritual needs. Generally speaking, animals are used for food purposes, but pets are used purely for spiritual purposes, so pets have the functions of ornamental, companion, and spiritual support.

Pet culture is the process of raising pets, through the observation, learning and mastery of pet habits, emotions, to meet the spiritual needs, the formation of a pet as part of the family members of the life of the concept of humanistic care, and ultimately a set of social norms of behavior, the value of the standard, the standard of aesthetics and the industry service system. Throughout the world's pet culture, different ethnic groups have different "totem" animals, so "pets" have a distinctive ethnicity, regionality.

China's earliest domesticated animal is the dog, the dog evolved from the wolf, since the beginning of the closest to mankind, "Zuozhuan - Xigong nineteen years," recorded that "the five grains, six animals thrive. Archaeological findings, in the Neolithic era, that is, 10,000 years ago, the ancestors have begun to domesticate domestic dogs, not only for hunting and guarding the yard, but also as a source of meat. According to historical documents, China's national cat began in 200 BC in the Qin and Han Dynasties, "Poetry" has also been recorded, and the formation of specialized literature books: "phase cat scripture", "Cat Garden", "Cat multiplier" and so on.

In Chinese history, pets were revered in a variety of ways, with different preferences at different times. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Wei Yi Gong liked cranes to the extent of obsession; Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty loved the "sweat and blood BMW" in the Western Regions at any cost; Emperor Li Shimin of Tang Dynasty loved harriers and often played on his arm; Emperor Zhaozong of Tang Dynasty's favorite pet was a monkey, with which he was inseparable; Emperor Shundei of Yuan Dynasty raised an elephant; Emperor Zhu Zhanji of Ming Dynasty loved to fight with cricket since he was a child; Emperor Yongzheng's pets were two dogs; the children of the Eight Banners, as the "oddball" class of the Qing Dynasty, reached the limits of extravagance and enjoyment in history. Of course, the calligraphy master Wang Xizhi from the walking posture of the goose to realize the highest level of calligraphy, but reflects the positive side of keeping pets.

Before the Tang Dynasty, pets were mainly the playthings of the powerful and noble classes, and after that, the trend of keeping pets was gradually extended to the literati, but the common people were rarely involved, and at the end of the Qing Dynasty, Cixi favored dogs, and the trend of keeping pets among the people began to catch on. Although there are records of pet-keeping in different periods of Chinese history, most of them are fragmented, stage-by-stage and class-by-class. There was no social custom, no popularity and no inheritance, and of course no complete "pet culture".

Chinese history, Taoism, Buddhism and other religions also have a certain positive impact on the custom of raising pets, by the Taoist "Taoism" and Buddhism "protection of life" and other concepts of the influence of the Tang Dynasty also issued a ban on killing and banning tribute, compassionate release of the edict, Bai Juyi, Wang Wei and other famous poets also wrote poems to encourage pet owners to release their caged pets into the nature, and actively guide people's understanding of animals, integrating the religious and secular images of pets and animals together

Specifically for the common people, first, the core of the farming culture is to meet people's most basic survival needs for the purpose, in the eyes of the common people, it is rare to have the concept of "pets", and survival is still not enough to take care of themselves, where to come to the animals should be respected, care and equality? In addition, the traditional culture focuses on the use of the world, the mediocre and practical, only the promotion of the low-level goal of wealth, and the lack of care for others (pets), fairness and justice, social responsibility, and other spiritual aspects of the high level of the goal.

Although China has a long history of animal domestication, it has not been used as pets for very long. During the traditional period of agrarian and small-scale farming, most cats and dogs were kept as instrumental pets, e.g., cats were used to prevent rodent infestation in warehouses, and dogs were used to look after the house and protect the yard. In fact, in some rural areas, this phenomenon still exists. Since the reform and opening up, people's living standards have improved and they have more energy and time to keep pets, and a large number of pet cats and dogs have entered thousands of Chinese households.
