京巴犬神话和传说

北京犬的神话和传说数不胜数。北京犬的外貌和传说中的祥狮犬颇为相似。祥狮犬是老鹰与狮子的综合体,是中国神话中的传令官。传说中的祥狮犬身世很神奇,如果把刚孵出来的小鹰放在人的手中,它会慢慢长成一只祥狮犬。
当佛教自印度传入中国后,关于北京犬的神话便开始与佛的传说融为一体,佛祖膝下乖驯的狮子变成了较小的狗。神话更是赋予了这种体形较小的狗神奇的本领,它可以由狗变成狮子,再由狮子变成狗。而这种变身行为完全取决于它的主人需要保护还是需要陪伴。
当然,北京犬的起源就与佛教颇有渊源了。为了让狗看上去像狮子,僧人们就挑一群狗中体型最小而毛发最蓬松的狗进行培育,北京犬就此诞生了。[1]
根据考古学家在古墓中的发现,在两千多年前就已经有了北京犬。而据考证,护门神“麒麟”,就是该犬的化身。仔细观察,“麒麟”的造型与现在的北京犬外形真的有神似之处。
北京犬起源于中国,从秦始皇时代延续到清王朝,北京犬一直作为皇宫的玩赏犬,在历代王朝中备受恩宠,视为

珍宝。古代的北京犬只允许在宫廷内繁殖,供皇亲国戚、朝廷大臣官吏玩赏,可谓是名副其实的保持着皇家血统的狗。
历代皇宫都是用北京犬长长的被毛来代替牦牛的毛做成的拂尘,为佛像驱赶飞虫。由于长期深禁宫廷环境之中,是北京犬保持了难能可贵的纯正血统,同时也带上几分高雅神秘的贵族色彩。
北京犬最早的起源时间无从考证,最早的记载是从8世纪的唐代开始的。这种古老的犬从有记载开始就一直只允许皇族饲养,如果民间有人敢私自养此种犬就会被判刑。据史料记载,唐代就有人因偷运北京犬而被判刑的事例,唐代皇帝驾崩会用此犬陪葬,以保驾皇帝能共同重返来生。

代时,该犬被称为罗红犬或罗江犬。在元代,它们被称为金丝犬。在明、清两朝代,人们又称呼它们为牡丹犬。慈禧太后非常宠爱这种狗。当时,为了显示皇权的尊严,除了皇宫和王公大臣可以饲养北京犬外,一般平民仍不许养,否则要受到严厉的惩罚。而且,北京犬的独享尊荣还不止于此,宫吏们对北京犬的宠爱到了必须“随身携带”的程度,出
门时就把它放在宽大的衣袖内。所以,北京犬又被称作“袖犬”。
数百年来,宦官负起保留北京犬血统纯正的责任,制定了严格的育种标准。所以,一直到21世纪的前期,北京犬和它们祖先的容貌特征并没有太大的差异。
那究竟是什么原因让北京犬“滚落民间”呢?
19世纪中叶以前,北京犬还鲜为西方人士所知。20世纪初年几次殃及北京的战争使得这些深宫贵犬流落民间甚至流传海外。
1861年,英法联军攻入北京,在昔日的皇家禁地,他们看到了一个令人惊异的景象:高贵的格格在深宫中自尽身亡,5只北京犬陪在她身边。虽然主人已死,而这5只狗依然忠心耿耿地守护着它们的女主人。
尊纳将军(General Dunne)将这5只北京犬当做“战利品”带回了英国,并将其中一只命名为

路提(Looty)的狗献给了维多利亚女王,女王命名为“滑稽犬”并非常喜爱。此犬因从北京带到英国,被称为北京犬。这只犬一直活到1872年,著名画家艾得温.蓝(Sir Edwin Landseer)曾专门以路提为主题创作了一幅名画。从此,憨态可掬、乖巧玲珑的北京犬以其特有的风姿和对主人的忠诚倾倒了西方爱犬人士,逐渐风靡世界。
与北京犬在国外的风光无限相比,国内的那些流落民间的北京犬却没有那么幸运,由于连年的战乱,失去了作为一个观赏犬种而生存的可能,在社会动荡中泯灭无踪。
