柳宗元在《答韦中立论师道书》中说,四川地方多雾,那里的狗不常见日光,每逢日出,狗都叫起来。后来用‘蜀犬吠日’比喻少见多怪。 {According to On Teaching Methods in Response to Wei Zhongli by Liu Zongyuan, a writer and philosopher of the Tang Dynasty, Shu (present-day Sichuan Province) is a misty region with little sunshine, so the dogs bark whenever they see the sun. The phrase has since come to mean ‘make a fuss about sth. that one alone finds strange’.}
