Narration of Animal Disasters and Ecological Protection Awareness in Ming and Qing Dynasties
During the Ming and Qing dynasties,wars,population growth,and the expansion of frontier reclamation encroaching on the territory of wild animals,exacerbated the outbreak of animal disasters.People kill animals to save themselves,while folk narrators flaunted their hunting equipment and techniques,standing at the center of humanity,pushing wild animals completely onto the defendant's seat of disaster perpetrators.In the face of the attack of wild animals,the close rela-tionship between human and domestic animals is strengthened.People often rely on domestic animals and cooperate with them for mutual protection,leading to an increasingly ethical image of domestic animals.People also rely on the virtue of local officials,ability to prevent disaster;people in remote areas rely on praying and blaming gods to manage animal disasters.Faced with the threat of fierce beasts,people in the Ming and Qing dynasties also imagined the divine fantasy of human animal affini-ty.Local officials were also more active in praising and supporting the people who worked together to fight against disasters.In the literary writing of the integration of Cathaysian disasters,disaster pre-vention and ecology,it can be regarded as a cautionary aspect of the relationship between humans and animals.
