About Suffocate the cat to death

"Suffocated Cat" is a pun place name that combines both literary and literal meaning. The name comes from the 54th chapter of the Qing Dynasty novel "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", which refers to the closed grotto set up by Bai Yutang on Xiangkong Island for the imprisoned cat Zhan Zhao. There is only a crack in the cave that reaches the sky, the stone door has no internal opening mechanism, and the stone plaque at the entrance is engraved with the words "The cat died of suffocation." This plot is the core scene of the "Five Rats in Tokyo" story. Zhan Zhao was able to get out of trouble with the help of Ding's two heroes and others. In reality, the name now refers to a steep and barren mountain near Miaofeng Mountain in Beijing. On May 5, 2005, four tourists parked their vehicles on the edge of a mountain in Chenjiazhuang, Miaofengshan Town, and then climbed a wild mountain.
