' we, the Chinese people, have invested so much in the word "dog," which is often mean and crude toward other human beings....thus, it reveals part of our culture......"
thought-provoking!!!
The quotation is humorous, but still out of the thoughts of MAN; if dogs were "smart" enough, they would be same as Man.
别小瞧了"狗" is not a "poem" i wanted it to be, but i realized that in those phrases/metaphors, we, the Chinese people, have invested so much in the word "dog," which is often mean and crude toward other human beings....thus, it reveals part of our culture......
so, it is not far-fetched to connect the nature of dogs with the nature of human society.....because dogs and humans are all creatures.....
but humans are the most self-righteous of all!!!
can you imagine what a dog thinks when observing us??????
...witnessing humans' celebration of certain holidays...
Dog: What the hell are these humans doing on the stage, shouting and yelling
and never get tired of themselves? And they drink such nasty liquid in
order to fall on the ground, fight each other, and throw up the good food
other humans painstakingly made for them?
Why do humans keep killing each other for so many thousands of years???
Why do they select the stupid, heartless ones to lead them?
Why do they create so many television sets to corrupt their kids and soul?
Why do they plant trees and flowers and all they do is sitting inside
their little brick structure and staring at the screen for hours and hours
until they get so fat and sad???
How come that humans don't even know how to love each other!!
Humans are the funniest creature when it comes to love-making!!! They try
to imitate us, but they are not dogs!!! They even exploit the female humans
Humans create all these noise-making machines and they have turned the
earth into Hell for us!! The noise they make seems to take over their
language!!!
Humans slave each other and use that little paper thing they call "money"
to control and manipulate each other!!!! Some stupid ones even die for
that paper thing!!!!
Ahh, poor humans!!!!
:)))))

“dog is an amazing creature .... interesting, in Chinese culture, dogs have been so crudely treated...even in metaphor.....“
不仅是狗，甚至是人，have been so crudely treated...in metaphor.....大部分都是借用“狗”来指人。。。在那些隐喻里，人与人之间的关系很可悲地实际上大部分是狗与狗之间的关系，比如“狗咬狗”，比如“狗东西”常是对人的称呼。。。在这种氛围下，其实人对狗（人）的真切关注非常有限，多是利用狗就像利用人一样。。。由此阿Q的产生极为正常，还有因而产生的中国人的幽默。。。而不愿做“狗东西”的人需要有极大的反抗精神和认真精神。。。但是反抗与认真是社会环境下中国人很难做到的。。。“The world will be complete for him who himself is complete”。。。
所以“别小瞧了"狗"!!!”这首诗里蕴涵了不少值得思考的话题，而且诗人好像方方面面都点到了。。。“dog is an amazing creature”，人更是，an amazing creature。。。我始终觉得人是最美丽的，当然也有丑恶之徒，但我常愿意看到人美丽的一面，不然活着很难受。。。如果人不爱人，人和狗也没什么好区分的，“说唱笑骂，勿忘狗良”。。。。
狗年狗趣
祝君吉祥
有狗无狗
切莫神伤
别学疯狗
欺软怕硬
别理走狗
只叫不咬
好狗坏狗
提高警惕
任凭狗叫
勿做墙草
狗有狗胆
人有人心
猴年马月
狗也升天
一年到头
狗亦可亲
生灵屠炎
人不如狗
世风日下
狗字最响
说唱笑骂
勿忘狗良
