Han Dong Fang Shuo's masterpiece: "There is a wild animal in the south called biting iron."
The ancestors of pandas are the original pandas. The scientific name of panda is actually "panda", which means "bear like a cat", that is to say, "it is similar to a bear in essence but similar to a cat in appearance."
Other names: Flower Cat, Flower Bear, Flower Bear, Bamboo Bear, Flower Head Bear, Silver Dog, Big Raccoon, Aqu, Du Dongga, Zhiyi, Raccoon, Leopard, Beast, Iron Eating, Panda, Raccoon, White Bear, Black and White Cat.
The modern name of the giant panda (that is, the popular Chinese name in China) was originally named Panda or Giant Panda, which means that its face is chubby like a cat, but its whole body is like a bear.
Before the 1950s, Chinese was written straight, reading from right to left, but it was changed into a horizontal book, reading from left to right. 1939 was exhibited in Beibei Museum, Sichuan Province, and the brochure was called Hengshu, a famous panda. At that time, tourists used to read straight books from right to left and mistakenly thought they were pandas.
Extended data:
In the late Miocene about 8 million years ago, there were already giant panda footprints on the earth. The giant panda at that time was the ancestor of the giant panda now. Their bodies are only half that of the giant pandas now, and they have been named "primitive giant pandas" by scientists and archaeologists.
The original panda evolved from a bear-like animal. It looks like a fat fox and mainly eats meat. It lives on the edge of tropical forests in Yuanmou and Lufeng areas of Yunnan.
According to Records of the Five Emperors, more than 4,000 years ago, Huangdi led his tribe to defeat Yandi and his tribe in Hanquan (now Zhuolu County, Henan Province). The secret of winning is that they used domesticated tigers, leopards, bears and pandas.
More than 3,000 years ago, in Historical Records and The Book of Songs, it was also clearly recorded that raccoon skin was the emperor's treasure. At that time, people thought that Zan was a terrible beast like tiger and leopard, and hoped that the warriors would be as brave as Zan, and even the army used the banner of Zan to shock the military community.
The description of the giant panda in Shan Hai Jing in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is very mysterious. It even thinks that the giant panda has sharp teeth and can chew copper and iron, so it is called an "iron eater".
