 Red-nosed white dog creepy truths in folklore

What are the characteristics of a red-nosed white dog ?

Since ancient times, jackals have been domesticated by humans, and dogs have been raised by humans, far apart. There is a proverb that says, "Listen to the dog at night, watch the bamboo at night", which shows the connection between dogs and the Vietnamese countryside. Dogs help people with many things in their daily lives and are kept as pets and also provide meat for some people.

According to folklore, people who keep dogs quit keeping some dogs, believing that the dogs bring good and bad luck. When raising a dog, the owner should look at the "four succulents", that is, all four dogs have extra nails on their legs. The ancestors of dogs had 5 toes.

Needed to adapt to the ability to run fast to catch prey, the dog's legs gradually become longer and then smaller, leaving only 4 toes. This modification helps increase the dog's running speed. The "mythical" toe is the 5th toe, which is shrunken and loose, hanging off it. Hypotenuses are most commonly seen on the forelimbs, but occasionally on all fours.

The idea that dogs with magic toes are smarter than dogs is usually the case. But owners of dogs with magic toes believe they will make a fortune. Dog owners don't keep white dogs, especially white dogs with red noses, they consider them "love dogs".

According to legend, this breed, although it looks like a dog, when the owner is not at home, it will jump up and lie on the hammock like a human being, and on lonely nights, it will put on a hat and use its two legs on the roof walk. Be like a person in the future.

They will find demons to reveal everything in the house, incite ghosts to disturb the owner's house, and cause family members to get sick. But a white dog with a yellow head and yellow tail is beneficial. If the white dog is the friend of the devil, then the black dog, dressed in black, is a nuisance. In the past, women used to wave black dog blood around the delivery room during childbirth to prevent evil spirits from disturbing the mother and child, especially the enemy Fan Ren.

Fan Ren's father is Chinese and his mother is Vietnamese. During the Nguyen Dynasty in China, Fan Ren obtained a Ph. He was forced to lead the Nguyen Army to invade our country.

During the Battle of Bach Dang, he was captured alive by Hung Dao Vuong, who beheaded Pham Nhan with a new sword. Before he died, Fan Ren asked him what to eat, and Hong Daowang asked him to eat a woman's blood to insult the enemy.

Since then, Fan Ren's soul has often encountered pregnant women to attract them. This story of Fan Ren's enemies was reproduced in the story of "Tran Dynasty Hung Dao Dai Vuong" by Ly Te Xuyen's work "Viet Dien u Linh". In addition, pregnant women also eat black dog meat and sausages, and dog bones are buried at the foot of the bed, which has the effect of warding off evil spirits.
