What does the bonfire fox sound mean?

A bonfire refers to animals such as foxes.

In ancient times, foxes were regarded as psychic animals with supernatural power, so many people who planned the uprising would use the fox's cry to disturb people's hearts. The word "bonfire and fox's voice" was later used as a metaphor for planning an uprising.

Chen Sheng and Guangwu launched a mass uprising in the name of fox and ghost. At the end of Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng and Guangwu were arrested for being soldiers, but their trip was delayed by heavy rain, so they had to revolt.

Before starting the army, Chen Sheng asked the fortune teller to calculate a divination, write "Chen" on white silk and stuff it into the fish's stomach. In the evening, he put the fire in a cage, making it faint like wildfire, learning what the fox said "Chen" to build momentum, and the next day he rebelled and established the Zhang Chu regime.

The Application and Development of Fox in China Ancient Literature

For example, Ge Hong's "Bao Puzi" said that the fox turned into a human form at the age of 300, while in the book "Miscellanies of Xijing", there is a story that the ancient white fox turned into an old man's dream. There are also many works about foxes, which shows that Jin people like to talk about foxes, and it has become a fashion.

During the Song and Ming Dynasties, there were few works about foxes. In the Qing Dynasty, the note novels represented by Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio and Yuewei Caotang Notes were also eloquent.
