Mußte echt schmunzeln als ich den Artikel gelesen hab.Rechts und linkswinkende Muschis :freu:

Sie winkt und winkt und winkt ...

Über die Entstehungsgeschichte der Winkekatze gibt es verschiedene Theorien. Feststeht jedoch, dass Ihr Ursprung nicht in Thailand sondern in Japan liegt. Dort wurde Sie 1876 erstmals in einem Zeitungsartikel erwähnt. Der japanische Name ist "Maneki Neko". Aber für was ist sie nun gut? Nun, man hätte es sich fast denken können, das Kätzchen soll Wohlstand, gute Geschäfte und viele Besucher herbeiwinken. Darum halten die meisten Kätzchen auch eine goldene Münze in der "winkfreien Hand". Es gibt übrigens linkswinkende, wie auch rechtswinkende Muschis - aber alle wollen irgendwie Dein Geld - auch nichts Neues in Bangkok (lol)

Hier haben wir das thailändische Gegenstück zu diesen, wie ich finde, doch recht kitschig wirkenden Winke-Kätzchen.

Nang Kwak

Nang Kwak soll genauso wie die Kätzchen dem Geschäft zu Wohlstand und Reichtum verhelfen, in dem sie die vorbeiziehende Kundschaft herbei winkt. Es gibt sie in verschiedenen Ausführungen, mal links, mal rechts winkend aber immer im Thai-Style mit der Handinnenseite nach unten. In der anderen Hand hält sie eine Geldsack, welches es zu füllen gilt.

Die Legende besagt, das Nang Kwak die Tochter einer Kaufmannsfamilie war. Als junges Mädchen wurde sie von 2 Mönchen unterrichtet um ihre Familie zu Wohlstand und Reichtum zu verhelfen und seitdem wurde ihre Familie immer Wohlhabender. Ihr wirklicher Name war Supawadee.

Thai Folk History

According to the history of the Lord Buddha disciples, in the Buddha's period, there was a merchant family living in Mitchika City not too far from Sawadhi province. They had a daughter named "Supawadee''. Then, Suchittapram, the father, expanded his business and bought a new cart to bring goods to other regions. Sometimes, his daughter would accompany.

During one of her trips, Supawadee met "Phra Wassapatherachao'' an enlightened monk who gave her religious instruction. Supawadee listened to the teachings carefully. The monk used the power of enlightenment to bless her and her family. She received blessings every time she met him and listened to his teachings.

On another business trip, she met with "Phra Siwaleetherachao'', also an enlightened monk, who taught her.

Phra Siwaleetherachao had a marvellous life, he was in his mother's womb for 7 years and 7 months. Then, he was born with luck and transcendent virtues in his soul. That was why he always had good luck when in need. Phra Siwaleetherachao would always blessed her and her family whenever they met.

With her mind blessed by the two enlightened monks she was able to support her father's business so much that her father never lost. Her father realized that Supawadee was a real virtue and brought good luck to the family. so much so that they became extremely became wealthy as a result.

After becoming a millionaire, Supawadee's father listened to religious teachings and practiced meditation with faith. He also donated his assets that he had earnt from his daughter's virtue to sustain Buddhism. For example he established a park with accommodation for traveling monks, he established a pantheon for a temple, giving money to monks.

When he made business trips, he always asked male monks, female monks, and people from other religions if they wanted to go to the same destination as him. Occasionally, he provided vehicles for those people.

Supawadee's reputation and her virtue were recognized and became well-known as the origin of wealth, good luck in business. After her death, her good fortune and luck in business was told from generation to generation, and so was born the legend of Nang Kwak.
