What was the nickname of the ancient dog?

Extended data:

As the earliest domesticated livestock, the existence and evolution of dogs are inextricably linked with the development of human civilization. Westerners praise it with exquisite works of art and regard it as the most loyal guardian. However, the status of dogs in China has always been very low. This can be seen from the archaeological discoveries unearthed in China.

The most anticipated thing is that a large number of mammalian fossils were found in Zhoujiayoufang, Yushu County, Jilin Province, China, that is, the Late Pleistocene of Paleolithic Age, about 26,000 BC-0/000 BC. In addition to human fossils, there are also "semi-fossils" of domestic dog skulls.

Although some people think it belongs to Pleistocene animal fossils, more experts think it is the remains of Holocene or modern animals. This remains of domestic dogs in the Paleolithic period can show that residents in Northeast China have begun to domesticate dogs.

In other words, domestic dogs in Northeast China appeared in the late Paleolithic period, about 1 10,000 years ago. The primitive humans in Northeast China were Tunguska Mongols, so it is reasonable to think that the ancestors of Donghu, Rong, Di and Su Shen domesticated dogs, among which Rong was a famous dog-raising clan.

It can be seen that Northeast China and Mongolia are the domestication centers of domestic dogs in the late Paleolithic and early and middle Neolithic. In addition, in Anyang, Henan, Cishan, Hebei, Anbanpo, Xi 'an, Shaanxi, Dawenkou, Shandong, Changzhou, Jiangsu and other places, it can be affirmed that China is one of the centers of domestic dogs.
