狐
狐 – Hu2 – Fox
What I learned from I Wish I Had A Wife: if it’s raining while the sun is shining, that means a fox is getting married. What I found while searching for a reference to this: video from the wedding of Black Fox and Lady Cynthia. But then right after that of course languagehat had a pointer to the definitive information on the subject. Amazingly, it seems that almost every culture has some belief or saying about “sunshowers”, from “the witches are making butter” to “the devil is beating his wife”, except Chinese. And I’ve never heard any of them before.
