There are too many sayings! Here is one of them
There is a folk saying that "dogs bring happiness, cats bring poverty"
Why is this saying? This starts with Yi: Among the 12 zodiac signs, there are dogs but not cats. Dogs represent the season of autumn and earth. In the Bagua direction of the day after tomorrow, Gen represents the northeast. Everyone knows that the northeast is the birth gate and is the direction of auspicious celebrations, so the Gen hexagram is auspicious. It is auspicious if a dog like the Gen hexagram comes.
In the Feixing chart, Gen is Pojun star and Wuqu star Qian Gua are both Western gold. Gold is wealth in the Chinese people's concept, so there is a saying among the people that dogs come to make money.
In addition, the barking of dogs is similar to "wang,wang", and the folk also like dogs because of its auspicious meaning;
Why do people say that cats should bring filial piety (that is, the dead person) when they come? This is also related to the Book of Changes. As we all know, cats do not enter the 12 zodiac signs, but the cat’s brother tiger does, and ranks high. Among the four beasts of Feng Shui, tiger is the white tiger, opposite to the green dragon, which is the lucky one. God, the white tiger is naturally indebted to the god of good luck. In Feng Shui, the dragon hugging the tiger brings out civil and martial arts, and the tiger hugging the dragon is said to be poor for generations. When doing divination, the white tiger line will lead to financial losses, and when seeking medical advice, the white tiger line will lead to death. This cat came here for no reason, wasn't it to answer the "White Tiger's condolence"! So it is unlucky for a cat to come!
