What does "Aunt Huang" mean in our dialect?

The dialect "Huang Auntie" refers to the "Huang Xian" (weasel) of the folk tradition "Five Immortals".

Weasels are good at stealing farmers' chickens, but they are very spiritual. The old man said that Huang Xian held a grudge and could not be provoked. In some legends, Huang Xian will be possessed, which makes people crazy and incoherent. What's more, there is even a saying that "a weasel changes his life, and one life is worth one life".

The weasel lost its habitat because it was hunted by human beings, and it has been listed in the national list of key protected terrestrial wild animals. Nowadays, the habitat environment is constantly changing, and the environment suitable for survival is decreasing, so it is listed as a vulnerable species by the National Union for Conservation of Nature.
